With limited shelf-life, food processing must be closely matched to demand and distribution processes to limit waste and spoilage without losing top-line revenue.  In addition, food safety requirements further necessitate accurate ingredient mixing, aging and traceability.  Confronted with these challenges, food manufacturers face ever-increasing demands to improve production and quality while still containing costs.  At DWS, we offer solutions that specifically address these issues, making food processing more accurate, efficient and traceable.  Our solutions provide control over delivery of ingredients to the production line while accurately tracking product code dates, aging and expiration dates, as well as directing product rotation, thereby increasing the visibility to processing, keeping track of the materials and equipment used and the performance of production lines.
