The passport of one lot.

From the truck to the certificate at the customer: everything a lot goes through is recorded. Drag through the life of one lot of wheat flour.

  1. 1 / 6Received, first into quarantine

    The lot arrives with lot number and expiry date. Materials that need checking go into quarantine first. Nobody can use them yet.

  2. 2 / 6Documents attached

    Frontlink reads the supplier's PDFs and recognises what they are: certificate of analysis, allergen statement, specification. They go with the item and the lot.

  3. 3 / 6Released

    Quality reviews and releases the lot. From now on it is available for production.

  4. 4 / 6First to expire, first

    When picking, Frontlink steers to the lot that expires first and skips lots with too little shelf life.

  5. 5 / 6Allergens in planning

    An allergen-free product only goes on a line certified for it. After a product with allergens, planning adds cleaning time.

  6. 6 / 6On the certificate

    The lot is on the batch's release certificate, with the allergen statement. The customer finds it in the portal.

Received, first into quarantine. The lot arrives with lot number and expiry date. Materials that need checking go into quarantine first. Nobody can use them yet.

Example with fictional data.

What is different in this industry.

  1. Carry-over between batches

    A batch with additives or medication must not end up in the next one. Frontlink plans the order of the batches and asks for a flush where the rules require it.

  2. Raw materials that vary

    Grain and protein sources differ per delivery. Frontlink records the lots per batch, so an issue can be traced back to the supplier.

  3. Ready for the audit

    Checks, samples and cleanings are recorded per batch, with name and time. At an audit the record per batch is ready.

What it looks like in practice.

A supplier reports a possible contamination in a delivery of maize. Frontlink shows which batches used that lot, which customers received them and which batches are still in the warehouse.

Example with fictional data.

Lot MZ-0419 · maizeTraced
  • Used in batches 60211, 60214 and 602183 batches
  • Delivered to 4 customersdelivered
  • Batch 60218 on holdwarehouse

Solutions that deliver the most here.

  1. Warehouse and stockFrontlink knows per lot what is there, where it is and how long it is good for. The warehouse picks by shelf life, stock matches what was really used, and a lot can be traced in one click.
  2. PlanningA plan that knows what is really happening on the floor. Orders come from your ERP, progress comes from the line, and when something moves the warehouse, sales and the customer know straight away.
  3. Quality and batch recordQuality checks appear as a checklist on the tablet, with the norm next to each one. The batch record builds itself from what was actually made, and release and certificate follow without searching.

Problems we often see here.

Frequently asked questions.

Can Frontlink plan to prevent carry-over?

Yes. You record which products may follow which, and the planning shows where a flush or cleaning is needed.

Does this help with audits?

Frontlink records per batch the lots, checks, samples and cleanings, with a history that cannot be changed. So at an audit you have the record per batch straight away.

We pack pet food for retail. Does that fit?

Yes. One production batch can be packed in several pack sizes and labels, each linked to its batch.
