PRIMS

PRIMS tracks ingredients by Lot Numbers from receiving through production to shipping, ensuring you know what’s in every batch and every finished good. This includes sub-mixes, consumed ingredients, and packaging materials. Lot numbers can be auto-generated for both intermediates and finished goods, and GFSI traceability and recall mandates can be satisfied in minutes.

Yes, PRIMS automates wet and dry ingredients such as flour, water, HFCS, oil, brew, and yeast draws. It can automate mixer speeds and times, refrigeration, and temperature collection at key points. PRIMS also ensures traceability of automatic bulk ingredient movements from silos to the mixer.

PRIMS uses scaling stations to ensure each weighed ingredient has been recorded, preventing recipe completion until all ingredients are weighed. Operators must scale an ingredient to a tolerance set by administrators, and PRIMS will not allow the process to move forward until the weight is within tolerance. The stations also scan and validate lot numbers, providing real-time inventory usage.

Yes, PRIMS scales each ingredient according to formula-specific rules and handles multi-level sub-recipes. Formulas are tracked over time in terms of costing, versions, production locations, bill of materials, and packaging type, building a historical production log for every formula.

PRIMS can generate purchase orders for ingredient inventory that can be emailed to your vendors. It calculates the budget, costing overhead, and labor costs for each formula. The production scheduling module helps plan production for weeks or months in advance, ensuring you have the ingredients when needed.

Yes, PRIMS recognizes the need to satisfy federal and industry-specific regulatory mandates, including FSMA. Focus Works stays current with best practices to build better products that meet compliance requirements.

PRIMS integrates with other Focus Works solutions such as NutrAL for nutritional analysis, Radar RFID for warehouse tracking, Scope for production line efficiency, COGZ for maintenance management, and ERP accounting systems to track ingredients, packaging, and finished goods throughout the production process.
