Packing Management Module

The Emydex Packing Management module is fully integrated into the Emydex production management platform, and handles the processing of Food including packing, labelling and rework. Packing Management can be used to produce labels for stock items that can later be tracked and traced.

In addition to printing a series of standard Yield and Production reports, users can generate customer specific reports using the Emydex dynamic report generator.

Features

• Packing system runs on rugged Touch screen Terminal PCs
• Hardware independent - drivers for multiple indicators such as Bizerba, Marel, Scanvaegt, Avery, GSE as well as Alibi support
• Create Stock Items/Traceability
• Caters for Direct Palletising and Direct Binning
• Multiple levels - unit, case, pallet
• Multiple Dates with advanced off-set rules
• Dynamic screens - flexibility over questions and layout
• Transaction history with cancel box at terminal facility
• Generate reports locally at terminals
• Dynamic keyboards - unlimited shortcuts to PLU and Questions
• Individual Weighed Pieces (IPP) - auto-generate case end labels
• Offal Packing - links back to kill line for Yield analysis
• Rework/Relabelling
• Label Design - WISIWIG design and preview
• Supports over 350 printer models
• Ability to print to multiple printers simultaneously
• Yield reporting - ability to link multiple yields i.e., by week/month, by line
• Optional Work Order (Production plan) control or
• Import Orders/Plan from any 3rd party system

Benefits - High Level

• Total control over production.
• Eliminate unauthorised over production
• Total control over label data, eliminating labelling errors due to shop floor operators.
• All items packed automatically create stock items and ensure traceability with unique serialised identification numbers
• Future proof against changing identification requirements, e.g. 2D bar codes, RFID labelling.

Benefits - Low Level

• All production line scan be controlled through work order control, enabling production managers to control production priority, over production, Dates, Label designs, Batch numbers and other traceability features such as country of origin etc.
• Fully integrated “NICE Labels” label design program enables WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) label design. This also brings printer independence. NICE labels supports GS1 standard bar codes, 2D bar codes, RFID label programming, multilingual, multiple dates, images and logos.
• Individually packed primal labelling, with or without pricing
• Weigh Price labeller Integration (sharing of works orders and product, Date, Batch number control etc)
• Check weigher integration
• System allows direct palletisation (based on target quantity) and direct binning (based on target weight) where appropriate
• Packing station operator screens display dynamic Macro buttons, reflecting order details and current production levels. Works orders can be allocated to individual or groups of production lines
