• All product data gathered in the article register – units, shelf life, packaging
• Manage process instructions, measurement requirements and staffing
• Line-by-line overview – optimised for display on info screens
• Control over resource use and production costs
• direct FOOD gives you visibility and flow in food manufacturing

With planning in direct FOOD, you gain full control over the distribution, execution and prioritisation of production orders. The system ensures an efficient workflow and optimal use of your production lines, while maintaining traceability and quality at the article and workstation levels.

Planning and resource utilisation with direct FOOD

The planning module in direct FOOD provides you with complete insight into the entire manufacturing process – from order sequencing and distribution to the efficient use of resources. Orders are automatically assigned to the correct lines and workstations based on data from the article register, including units, shelf life, packaging, recipes, and production requirements. This ensures optimal flow and reduces manual work.

The production plan also forms the basis for pre-calculations, post-calculations and traceability – keeping everything connected from planning to finished goods.

Visual overview of the production plan

The system generates line-specific lists that can be shown on info screens in the production area. This makes it easy for operators to stay updated with real-time information, and no need for manual coordination. It creates predictability for both production management and operators, bringing more structure to the daily workflow.

Cost control and insight

The production plan supports cost calculations and provides insight into material usage, staffing, and raw material costs. This helps improve control of contribution margins and provides a solid foundation for future production decisions. All data is linked directly to the article and raw material, with traceability back to the supplier.

Efficient workflow with direct FOOD

As a purpose-built solution for the food industry, direct FOOD is tailored to the needs of food producers and processors. The system ensures that the production plan is connected to measurements, traceability, registrations and compliance with both customer and regulatory requirements.

AMS has extensive experience adapting the solution to different production environments, ensuring a setup that supports both current operations and future growth.

With the production plan in direct FOOD, you achieve structured and efficient manufacturing, better resource utilisation and improved cost control – from planning to final product.
