Trusted by manufacturers

Food, beverage and FMCG manufacturers using TraceSense for batch traceability, digital weighing and audit-ready electronic batch records.

Batch & material traceability

Traceability software that survives the audit — and the recall

TraceSense is a manufacturing traceability system built around the weigh-up. Every ingredient lot, tolerance check and operator sign-off is captured in an electronic batch record — forward and backward trace from raw material to finished goods and dispatch.

  • 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, chemical and medical device 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. TraceSense AI can summarise the chain in seconds.

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.

Manufacturing traceability system for UK & Ireland food, drink and FMCG producers.

TraceSense AI

AI built for manufacturing traceability

TraceSense AI turns your batch records, weighing data, scale telemetry and process checks into answers operators and managers can act on — with reports that open automatically for stock, scales, traceability and downtime.

Grounded in your live production data — not generic chatbot guesses. AI features are in beta; verify critical compliance decisions against your records.

On the shop floor

Operator coaching & scale breakdown prevention

TraceSense AI is not just a chat window in the portal — it is wired into every weigh-up and every balance on the line.

Coaches staff as they weigh

Every completed weigh-up builds a behaviour profile — pour rate, corrections, overshoots, settling time and tolerance result. The terminal can prompt operators in the moment, for example when they are approaching target too quickly.

  • Live coaching hints during weigh & dispense
  • Flags slow final pours, multiple corrections and unstable completions
  • Per-operator patterns for supervisors — who needs a refresher, on which ingredients
  • TraceSense AI summarises coaching trends for managers and trainers

Prevents scale breakdowns before they stop the line

Terminals continuously monitor balance health during weighing, calibration and scale-only operations. Deterministic rules catch problems early — before bad weigh-ups or unplanned downtime.

  • Detects frozen readings, excessive noise, zero drift and sudden jumps
  • Flags overload, unstable readings and communication failures
  • Health scores per terminal — spot a failing balance before it breaks down
  • Incidents logged for maintenance teams and visible in TraceSense AI

Key capabilities

Intelligence across traceability, weighing and the shop floor

Conversational traceability

Ask about batches, lots, recipes and variance in plain language. Get summaries, reports and answers drawn from your TraceSense data and how-to guides.

Weighing intelligence & coaching

Tracks every pour, correction and tolerance result per operator. Surfaces over-target patterns, rework frequency and coaching notes — so trainers intervene before variance becomes waste or a compliance issue.

Scale health & breakdown prevention

Continuous balance monitoring for frozen readings, noise, drift, jumps and overload. Health scores and incident logs help maintenance act before a scale failure stops production.

Weighing copilot on the line

Structured job and recipe-step context at the terminal — what is next, what was consumed, tolerance bands — so operators get guidance without breaking flow.

Factory health score

A single view of scale health and weighing coaching activity across the site — spot weak points before they cause downtime or bad batches.

Audit-ready exports

Generate AI summaries and batch intelligence reports for customer queries, internal reviews and certification audits.

Why traceability breaks down

The problems a traceability system must fix

Spreadsheets and paper batch sheets collapse under recall pressure. TraceSense replaces them with live lot genealogy, digital weighing and built-in AI — so you can trace forward, trace back and prove it in an audit.

  • No reliable batch traceability

    When a customer asks “what went into this lot?”, paper trails fall short. A manufacturing traceability system with digital weighing captures every weigh-up, lot and sign-off in an electronic batch record — forward and backward.

  • Scale breakdowns & bad weigh-ups

    Frozen readings, drift and noisy balances cause rework, giveaway and unplanned downtime. TraceSense monitors scale health continuously and coaches operators during weigh-up — catching problems before they stop the line or fail an audit.

  • Untrained weighing habits

    Fast pours, repeated corrections and overshoots add up to waste. TraceSense tracks weighment behaviour per operator and surfaces coaching signals — live on the terminal and in TraceSense AI for supervisors.

  • Paper formulation & recipes

    Clipboard recipes, missed steps and handwritten weights. Formulation control puts the recipe on screen and guides operators through weigh & dispense.

  • Stock you cannot trust

    Spreadsheets and floor counts that never match. Stock control tracks lots, movements and locations so production draws from live inventory.

  • Missed process checks

    SOPs that live in binders. Process control checks put the right check at the right step — with evidence for audits and customer queries.

  • Unplanned downtime

    Breakdowns and reactive repairs. CMMS schedules preventive work, tracks assets and gives engineers jobs on mobile.

  • Dispatch errors

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

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.
