Dynamic Systems, a US-based software developer, has unveiled SIMBA Lite 2012, which is designed to provide fresh food processors the ability to process, label and track their products from the dock to customer.
The SIMBA (Specialized Inventory Management with Barcode Accuracy) is being targeted towards companies that process in bulk (similar or same products into constant weight cartons).
According to the company, the system allows a production line worker to modify the content of product labels with a fingertip on the computer or touch screen, capturing product information such as weight, size, color, grade and printing a label with a barcode identifier for the carton.
The label information is stored in the SIMBA inventory system, which then provides production and inventory reports.
The cartons may then be placed in a pallet, and tracked with a single pallet identifier. This integrated system gives the user complete traceability of the product from receiving to shipping. The cartons or pallets can be stored and tracked by location within the warehouse, cooler or freezer.
In addition, at the time of shipping, the Van Loading feature of SIMBA tracks each carton or pallet onto a specific van.
The company noted that implementing SIMBA software can lead to increased production speed, accurate production reports, accurate inventory, and expedited van loading.
