http://www.marco.co.uk Marco's Trac-IT Yield Control Module ensures product consistency eliminates waste and improves productivity...providing significantly improved profitability for convenience foods or ready meal manufacturers. To remain competitive manufacturers must have effective Yield Control management as an essential part of the overall meal assembly process. Unwanted giveaway in terms of too much of a particular ingredient can affect product appearance and taste, as well as profitability. Adding too little also affects taste and potentially leaves manufacturers open to the risk of breaching legislation as well as upsetting their customer. The Marco system uses operator friendly state of the art workstations that de-skill the manual meal assembly process. The simple traffic light system guides them as the meals are assembled, ensuring target weights are kept within very close tolerances. The really clever part of the system is the automatic optimisation software which continually monitors weighings at individual stations and adjusts tolerances to keep the average weight addition and finished meal weight right on target.
