Inventory & Supply Chain ManagementPurpose
1. Automates the end-to-end process of tracking cheese production waste and yield by collecting, centralizing, analyzing, and reporting real-time data across corporate food production, reducing manual input and increasing operational transparency.
2. Automates capture and aggregation of raw material input, intermediate loss, and final output for yield optimization, compliance, and cost control.
3. Automatedly enables real-time alerts for abnormal waste patterns, ensuring immediate action to reduce risk of loss or inefficiency.
4. Automating integrations between production machinery, ERP systems, IoT sensors, and reporting dashboards for continuous yield and waste monitoring.
Trigger Conditions
1. Automated data entry upon receiving batch input from IoT sensors and PLCs during production runs.
2. Scheduled process completion triggers for batch end or shift change.
3. Automation triggered by reaching threshold variances in expected vs. actual yield.
4. Manual override for immediate entry when major waste event occurs.
