Tracking Products

Traceability plays a very important role when it comes to productivity, quality, and error management.

In fact, traceability is what lets you know if a product is defective, and as a result you may instantly implement corrective measures. Traceability increases productivity by gathering a maximum amount of pertinent information by way of barcode scanners. This permits you to easily, and very quickly, locate any product's exact location. It also gives you have a better overview of your operations, and to manage and control your inventory more efficiently.

Since in-plant traceability is becoming a more common requirement, particularly in the food and beverage industry, IMS's experts have developed software that allows you to implement traceability into finished products that are shipped to clients. In addition to perfectly understanding every aspect of their functionality, IMS is a top level expert when it comes to their installation.

PControl and Permprint are high-performance tools that trace every step your products follow while at the same time integrating and linking themselves to the labelling process of your production line.

PControl Traceability Software

PControl is the software solution par excellence to guarantee the follow-up and the traceability of your finished products.

PControl assures automatic identification of each and every one of your products on your production line and can trace and locate any one of your products no matter where they are located, no matter in which lot, down to the palette, and the crate, and this with infallible precision.

Not only does PControl allow you to trace the path your products take, it also captures data on the performance and the volume of different work shifts. This allows you to manage and monitor your productivity, and it gives you the tools necessary to optimize the way you manage your resources.

Fully integrated to your production process, PControl gathers data in real-time, and that allows you to evaluate the productivity of every step of your packaging line and work shift. This centralization of data permits your business to control its inventory, manage rejects, adjust its performance, and optimize its productivity.

Main functions of PControl:

Automates and personalizes the identification of each one of your products
Manages variable weights
Manages rejects
Provides a precise follow-up of finished product lots
Centralizes production data
Provides rigorous tracing of the entire packaging process correlated with different work shifts.

Target markets

To quickly and precisely locate each individual product of a manufacturing lot. That is the purpose of tracking and traceability. A critical aspect for many businesses and organizations.

The markets that PControl was designed to thrive in are those in which identifying lot numbers plays an important role. Mainly:

Food and beverage
Pharmaceutical
Beauty and health care
Security products
Manufacturing plant that manages by lots

PManage is an application for PControl. Only authorized personnel can access this password-protected tool. It allows those in charge to change parameters, add or remove products from various lists, in short, it optimizes your control, and that optimizes your productivity.

PReport is another application for PControl. It produces reports that allow administrators to visualize various production details. PReport is the perfect statistical information solution tool to help you visualize what is happening at your location in great detail. This allows you to reduce rejects and to follow with precision every aspect of your production line.

PermPrint Traceability Software

PermPrint is the perfect tool for integrating a labelling procedure into your production line.

PermPrint integrates itself into production lines and makes product labelling possible (pallets only). It allows you manage the labelling on multiple lines (remotely or in a centralized manner). PermPrint makes it possible to associate a pallet to a factory, a specific production line or project number, and also to control the classification of your products.

PermPrint works in three modes: automatic (with programmable bots), semi-automatic, or manual (prompting lot label printing).

In automatic mode, PermPrint also manages a print queue in which you can change, directly on the screen, the classification of the last 10 products.

PermPrint also stores the date and time of production, the specific production line that a product followed, and in which factory or plant it was made.

The extreme versatility of this software tool makes it the perfect component to address any type of highly specific needs that you might have.
