Food Processing

Better ingredients, better performance
Perhaps more than in any other industry, the lines between production and distribution are blurred in the food industry. With limited shelf-life, food processing must be closely matched to demand and distribution processes to limit waste and spoilage without losing top-line revenue.

At the same time, food safety requirements require accurate ingredient mixing, aging and traceability. The best way to avoid costly recalls is to closely control the process from the start.

We’ve worked with leading food processors to address these challenges and have developed solutions that make food processing more accurate, efficient and traceable. RedPrairie’s Food Processing provides a very granular control level over the way ingredients are delivered to the production line.

Food for thought

RedPrairie also provides visibility into the machine side of processing, keeping track of the materials and equipment used—as well as production line performance. This not only provides the traceability required, it enables you to better understand processing times. That means you can predict run times and quantities to accurately satisfy order and demand requirements.

With Food Processing solutions from RedPrairie you can:

• precisely track product code dates, as well as aging and expiration dates
• direct product rotation on the line
• comply with food safety regulations more efficiently
• gain tighter control of the food processing line
• improve customer satisfaction with better accuracy

With RedPrairie Food Processing capabilities integrated with our suite of supply chain execution solutions, production and distribution become one continuous process. That’s the exact recipe of ingredients that food processors have been asking for.
