Material Consumption

• Record and document material consumption during manufacturing
• Gain insight into additives and packaging usage
• Monitor semi-finished goods for improved quality
• Track all inputs by batch and lot number
• Optimise your process with direct FOOD

To deliver safe products with documented quality in food manufacturing, you need full control of what goes into each batch. With material consumption recorded in the system, raw materials, additives, semi-finished goods and packaging are monitored and linked to batch and production orders. This ensures full traceability and helps optimise resource usage.

Material consumption documented at every step

Raw materials and packaging that go unrecorded are difficult to trace later. That’s why operators register all material usage as it happens, linking batch and lot numbers directly to production. This also provides the basis for more accurate post-calculation and inventory control. When consumption is tracked in real time, the process becomes safer and waste is reduced.

Traceability and control with direct FOOD

direct FOOD consolidates all material usage data in one system. You can see what was used, where and when – with full documentation for internal use and external audits. With recipe control and planned material allocation, each production order receives the correct ingredients, ensuring traceability is maintained. AMS tailors direct FOOD to match your routines and industry requirements, so the solution fits seamlessly into your production.

Insight that brings control and confidence

When all material consumption is registered and traceable, you gain an overview that improves both quality and performance. A batch packed with the wrong packaging can be traced back immediately, and raw material usage can be compared with expected values to reduce deviations. This builds customer trust while improving manufacturing efficiency.

Material consumption tells the full story of every product. When everything is recorded in direct FOOD, you hold the documentation and insight needed to deliver quality daily, while optimising your operations.
