Transparent material flow and product traceability

For many manufacturing companies, it is important for many manufacturing companies to keep a complete record of the production process at all points in the process chain. In the face of customer quality complaints or product recalls, a complete product traceability record can minimize the cost of the enterprise. In the food and pharmaceutical industries, companies must comply with more demanding international standards, such as FDA 21 CFR 11 and 178 EU. Packaging material suppliers and automotive safety component manufacturers face similar regulatory requirements.

Manual data collection and paper trails, while meeting regulatory requirements, are undoubtedly costly and error-free.

HYDRA MPL not only fulfills the requirements of batch traceability management, but also offers a wide range of other material management functions, such as material flow management, inventory monitoring, etc.

Data acquisition

• Record the whole process of material batches, from incoming materials, production to final delivery;

• Recording the consumption of raw materials, semi-finished products and auxiliary materials;

• Record batch changes during production;

• Record the receipt and dispatch of materials in the buffer area.

Easy access to all your data

Plan and forecast

• Generate batch data or obtain it from ERP;

• Reserve inventory for different planning scenarios;

• Estimation of surplus materials during production;

• Special material control, such as the material is about to expire is an alarm. Condition monitoring

• Current status of the batch (online, available, disabled, tested, expired,

In transit, etc.);

• Inventory changes;

• Conveyor monitoring;

• Current material requirements for work orders and equipment;

• Graphical display of logistics.

Statistical analysis/documentation

• Complete batch history;

• Batch tracking in chart form (forward and backward tracking);

• Failure statistics;

• Long-term data archiving, including import to external systems and media. One system controls the overall basic functions

• Master data management, including materials, item types, buffers, maximum inventory, and batches;

• Consider the entire plant inventory

• Integrate with ERP/TQM/WMS and other material management systems;

• Multi-level authorization

HYDRA module integration

• Production Logistics Management is one of the standard modules of HYDRA and offers benefits thanks to this modular system architecture:

• Material and batch information can be used by the production operation management module to closely associate material batches with equipment, operations and work orders;

• The data collected during the production process is automatically synchronized to the warehouse inventory, which greatly reduces the tedious posting operation;

• With the integration of HYDRA CAQ (Quality Management Module), quality data is automatically distributed to batches during inspections.
