DIGITAL TRACEABILITY IMPLEMENTATION

End-to-end paperless traceability for biscuit production—covering weighing, mixing, rotary forming, oven exit, wrapping, and all in-process quality checks.

TraceSense delivered a complete digital traceability and paperless manufacturing solution for biscuit production, replacing legacy systems and modernising key production processes.

🧾 Legacy System Replacement (Weighing & Batching)

The existing Stevens weighing system was replaced with a modern recipe-controlled weighing and batch management system.
This upgrade provides:

  • Accurate, controlled ingredient dispensing
  • Full recipe enforcement
  • Real-time production data capture

As a result, all weighing and batching records are now fully paperless and digitally stored, improving both traceability and compliance.

⚖️ Digital Weighing & Mixing Control

At the mixing stage, TraceSense introduced scan-and-tip functionality to ensure:

  • Correct ingredient verification before use
  • Controlled tipping processes
  • Elimination of manual recording errors

This ensures full visibility and control over the mixing process while maintaining strict adherence to production recipes.

📊 Paperless Quality & Compliance

Quality auditing has been fully digitised using the TraceSense Quality Module, removing the need for paper-based records and enabling real-time compliance tracking.

Key processes now captured digitally include:

  • Dough piece weight checks
  • Oven performance and bake checks
  • Metal detection at packing
  • Start-up and hygiene checks
  • In-process quality inspections


🏭 End-to-End Process Control

Using the TraceSense Process Control Check Module, critical control points across the production line—from mixing through to wrapping—are now:

  • Standardised
  • Digitally recorded
  • Instantly accessible for audits

This ensures consistent product quality while significantly reducing administrative workload.

🚀 Results & Benefits

  • 100% paperless production records across key areas
  • Improved traceability from raw materials to finished product
  • Reduced risk of human error in weighing and quality checks
  • Faster, more efficient audit readiness
  • Greater operational visibility across the production line
