At the heart of The HCS Remora system lies a deep understanding of what is needed to integrate hardware and software, and having people that worked at senior levels in the food industry allows HCS to have traceability from farm to fork.
Benefits
- Eliminates paper based/manual traceability reporting records.
- Intake traceability can be performed at unit level or with amalgamation to Intake lot level.
- A production batch can be a single intake unit, an intake lot, or a mixture of intake lots. The user dictates the size or composition of the production batches.
- HCS traceability reports display transactions relating to an intake unit, intake lot or production batch.
- Real-time and instant reporting of traceability information saves time and minimises disruption to operational production.
- Allows for quick identification of reported problems or issues.
- Minimises the risk and size of recalls by enabling reported problems to be traced back to specific production batches and supplier lots.
- Provides instant and accurate reporting of traceability information for quality inspectors and auditors to fulfil food safety certification requirements e.g., BRC, etc.
- The minimum requirement for traceability is to record one step back and one step forwards in the traceability chain. This could be recording from which abattoir or supplier an animal, carcass or primal was received from and when it was received.
- Other traceability details recorded at Intake include, date of kill, time of kill, quality data, grade, cold kg, transport vehicle, container number and the conditions recorded against the transport vehicle and haulier.
- Another example for manufactured products that are made to a recipe, the HCS system will provide full ingredient traceability for each production batch. It will also show from which production batch numbers a lot of ingredients was used in?
- HCS Scanmove forward traceability reporting details each and every production movement transaction taking place within the factory walls.
- HCS Scanmove forward Trace reports show in which production batches an intake lot was used, which customers received product from this lot, when it was dispatched and on what transport.
- A backwards trace is where a customer advises of an issue with a unit id code .The system traces back to show any possible intake units / lots that could have been used in the manufacturing process, where they came from and when.
