Batch & material traceability

Paperless traceability from weigh-up to dispatch

TraceSense captures every ingredient lot, weigh-up and sign-off in an electronic batch record — so you can answer auditor and customer questions without digging through paper.

  • Lot-level Genealogy per batch
  • EBR Electronic batch records
  • One-click Forward & backward trace
  • Recall-ready Instant lot queries

From intake to dispatch — one traceability chain

Food, beverage, cosmetics and chemical manufacturers use TraceSense to answer the question auditors always ask: what went into this batch, who weighed it, and where did it go? Paper spreadsheets cannot do that under pressure. TraceSense can.

  • Raw material and WIP lot tracking tied to production
  • Digital weigh & dispense with tolerance enforcement
  • Operator authentication and step sign-offs
  • Barcode verification at process control checks
  • Dispatch weighing linked to outbound traceability

Recall & customer queries

Trace a suspect lot forward to every finished batch and shipment — or backward to every ingredient source — in minutes, not hours.

Audit evidence

BRC, SALSA, ISO and customer audit trails — timestamped records, not reconstructed binders. Process checks and batch data in one platform.

Formulation control

Version-controlled recipes on the line. Operators follow the right formulation every time — with traceability baked into each weigh-up.

Stock & lot integrity

Inventory movements linked to batch consumption. Know which lots are on the floor, in WIP and in finished goods — live, not end-of-week.

Everyday production problems

The paperwork food manufacturers still fight

Clipboards, spreadsheets and handwritten weights do not keep up with audits or recalls. TraceSense puts recipes, weigh-ups and batch records on screen.

  • No reliable batch traceability

    When a customer asks what went into a batch, paper trails fall short. Digital weighing captures every lot and sign-off in an electronic batch record — forward and backward.

  • Paper recipes & giveaway

    Clipboard recipes, missed steps and overshoots. Formulation on screen guides operators through weigh & dispense with tolerance checks.

  • Stock you cannot trust

    Floor counts that never match. Stock control tracks lots and movements so production draws from live inventory.

  • Missed process checks

    SOPs in binders. Process checks put the right check at the right step — with evidence for BRC, SALSA and customer audits.

  • Unplanned downtime

    Reactive repairs and lost production. CMMS schedules preventive work and gives engineers jobs on mobile.

  • Dispatch errors

    Wrong weights and credit notes. Weigh-and-scan dispatch catches mistakes before the truck leaves.

FAQ

Common questions about recipe weighing and batch traceability

What is recipe weighing software?
Recipe weighing software puts your formulation on screen at the weigh point. Operators follow the recipe step by step, weigh ingredients to tolerance, and capture lot numbers automatically — instead of paper batch sheets.
What is batch traceability?
Batch traceability means you can show which ingredient lots went into a finished batch, who weighed them, and where the product was dispatched. TraceSense keeps that in an electronic batch record for audits and recalls.
Does TraceSense help with BRC and SALSA audits?
Yes. Timestamped weigh-ups, lot tracking, operator sign-offs and process checks give you audit evidence without reconstructing binders. Many food manufacturers use TraceSense to support BRC, SALSA and customer audits.
How is TraceSense different from an ERP?
TraceSense is built for the shop floor — recipe weigh-up, electronic batch records and lot traceability — not a full finance ERP. It can run alongside systems you already use, without a long, expensive ERP project.
Who is TraceSense for?
Food, beverage, cosmetics and chemical manufacturers that need accurate weigh-up, lot control and paperless batch records. Sites that have outgrown clipboards and spreadsheets.

What manufacturers say

Sites running TraceSense for batching, checks and dispatch.
The use of the Tracesense system within our day fresh bakery in Greenock has brought significant benefits in meeting the requirements of BRC and the subsequent audit process, particularly in the areas of traceability, start up checks and the scheduling and control of production.
