Recipe BoM & Definition
Emydex-Software-Module-recipe-BOM-Definitions
Recipe BoM & Definition
Control standard batch sizes, ingredients and tolerances.

The Emydex recipe BoM and definition controls standard batch sizes, ingredients, quantities and units of measure, min/max tolerances, as well as sequencing and substitutions for the recipe. Recipes can contain sub-recipes if required.

Recipe Planning
Emydex-Software-Module-recipe-planning
Recipe Planning
Plan by standard, custom or calculated batch size.

Plan production using the Emydex recipe production planning system. This allows customers to plan based on standard batch sizes, custom batch sizes, or a calculated batch size based on one of the raw materials. Plans can also be made based on sales orders entered directly into Emydex or received from the ERP system.

Recipe Blending
Emydex-Software-Module-recipe-blending
Recipe Blending
An intuitive interface that keeps every batch consistent.

The Emydex recipe blending form provides users with an intuitive interface to control the inputs of the recipe. Operators can easily see the progress of each ingredient, ensuring recipe definitions are followed for consistency. Terminals can have multiple scales connected to weigh different ingredients.

Labelling
Emydex-Software-Module-recipe-labelling
Labelling
Label work in progress or finished goods, with full traceability.

The Emydex packing terminals can label work in progress or finished goods from the recipe batch, maintaining traceability throughout the process. This allows customers to capture the output of the batch for traceability and yield reporting, and will also create inventory items in the Emydex warehouse management system.

Job Processing
Emydex-Software-Module-recipe-job-processing
Job Processing
Scan into a work order and job to track any process.

Customers are able to easily set up jobs for the various processes within the factory. This allows customers to scan into a work order and job and produce a product from this, maintaining traceability and reporting on yields and efficiencies, for example tumbling, smoking, filleting or brining.
