Barcode Scanning
Traditionally, operators manually recorded:
- Batch numbers
- Article codes
- Production orders
- Production dates
- Expiry dates
- Quality control information
This process was:
- Time-consuming
- Error-prone
- Paper-intensive
- Difficult to analyze afterward
Manufacturers often relied on handwritten forms and spreadsheets, creating operational inefficiencies and traceability risks.
A major insight from the article is that ERP systems typically record information at the batch level but often lack detailed operational context.
Missing information can include:
- Individual process steps
- Operator actions
- Exact timestamps
- Intermediate production events
- Detailed quality checkpoints
As a result, manufacturers struggle to obtain complete production genealogy and traceability.
AMI-SCAN: Digital Barcode Registration
Operators simply scan barcodes during production activities.
The platform automatically records:
- Production orders
- Batch numbers
- Material identification
- Packaging codes
- Quality inspections
- Process events
All information is immediately stored in a centralized cloud database.
✅ Scan and register instantly
✅ Reduce paperwork
✅ Save operator time
✅ Simplify shop-floor activities
✅ Eliminates transcription errors
✅ Standardizes registration
✅ Ensures accurate production records
✅ Improves data reliability
Information becomes instantly available for:
- Production teams
- Quality teams
- Supervisors
- Management
This creates a complete digital thread from raw material intake to finished product release.
Food Safety & Traceability
If a supplier reports an issue with a raw material batch, AMILAM can help identify:
- Which products used the ingredient
- Which production batches were affected
- Which customers received those products
This significantly speeds up:
- Recall management
- Investigations
- Regulatory compliance
End-to-End Product Traceability
