This workflow automatically captures and tracks ingredient batches throughout the manufacturing process, enabling complete traceability from raw materials to finished products for food safety compliance and rapid recall response.
New ingredient batch arrives at receiving dock and is scanned into inventory
Each node represents an automated step. Connections show how data and decisions move through the workflow.
Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.
Warehouse staff scans batch barcode upon receipt, triggering automatic batch record creation. System captures supplier details, lot numbers, expiration dates, and quality certificates.
System generates comprehensive batch record with unique tracking ID and links all relevant documentation. Quality specifications and testing requirements are automatically assigned based on ingredient type.
System checks if all required quality tests pass against specifications. If tests fail, batch is quarantined and flagged for disposition review.
As ingredients are consumed in production, MES system automatically records which batches are used in specific finished product lots. Real-time consumption tracking maintains precise traceability linkages.
System creates complete ingredient genealogy for each finished product batch, documenting all raw material sources. Traceability data is automatically linked to shipping records and customer deliveries.
Complete batch tracking records are stored in centralized database with instant recall capability. System enables one-step forward and backward traceability reporting for regulatory compliance and rapid response.
