Being competitive nowadays is indispensable in a global market. You cannot miss business opportunities, and in addition keeping up with the global markets standards is mandatory if you wish to continue with your activity. The new european norm CE NO 178/2002 and the current regulations in the U.S. set traceability as required for almost all sectors, especially in food and beverage industry.

Traceability in the Food and Beverage industry
Traceability is nothing but a comprehensive record of production activity, annexing all the previous activity of used products. This way the company will be protected against the established laws and also get added value to its production. Quality and its evaluation (ISO etc..) are crucial to competitiveness, and it is increasingly becoming the measure that makes the difference. Consumers are getting more sensitive to these aspects of production and demand a clear and unequivocal transparency of the manufacturing processes of the products they consume. Fear and laws are changing global markets and there is a need for adaptation to these new trends.

The global market requires global solutions
EleAN® is the result of accumulated experience in creating product plant management systems. It combines the power of a manufacturing and stock management engine with a workflow system that thanks to its paperless plant system allows optimizing dramatically every production and logistic process at any company that is important in size and production capacity.

The EleAN® systems present three cornerstones:

• Short term implementation
  
  

  Who will implement EleAN®?
  EleAN® is a liberalized system. So that while choosing EleAN® you do not depend on a single company to address its implementation or getting technical support. There is an extensive network of partners (EleAN® Solution Provider) that will be able to undertake the implementation of your traceability system, offering you all the power and quality of the EleAN® systems without renouncing to the guarantee of having the company in charge of the implementation as close as possible. This implies a real guarantee in terms of ensuring your software investment, because ultimately you could even change the EleAN® systems provider without necessarily changing the software.

  What is the estimated implementation time?
  EleAN® systems, due to their paperless philosophy and their extreme ease of use, absorb much of the time other systems require for staff formation and, while being a standard configurable system, it also absorbs the time needed to adjust the system to your business operation. So that this, in addition to the use of EleAN® Integration Daemon for EleAN® integration with your current computer system, leaves the average implementation time, for example for a company with 2 plant terminals and 3 office computers, in no more than 5 working days.

• Perform paperless tasks from the first day
  
  

  Paperless module
  Thanks to the use of EleAN® workflow systems, plant information is available in real time. Do not expect to wait to type numerous handwritten reports with very different calligraphies (that are sometimes illegible).

  The benefits of this system are endless but among them we emphasize the EleAN bet for making the person performing the process responsible of the data insertion, leaving an inviolable record at the introduction time. The reduction in the error percentage in the introduction of information has been well proven over the last years. How do you get a worker to enter these data? The answer is very simple: no need to invest in training or high technologies difficult to amortize in the short term. EleAN® is commited to offer a friendly interface yet extremely easy to use without losing its operative. EleAN® workflow systems knows that the plant operator cannot waste much time on the computer. His actions on the screen have to be prompt and concrete and the system used must be a help more than a nuisance, and this is the great EleAN® virtue: the operator uses EleAN® primarily for his own benefit, this being one more tool for his daily work. It should also be added that working with EleAN® systems at plant level does not slow down the usual working time. The fact is that many of the processes increase in speed and quality.

  Once the datum is inserted, through the “single datum” philosophy present at any time, the information will flow through its respective paths until reaching its destination.
  This facilitates production control and significantly reduces the time of intervention in the event of a failure of quality failure.

• Increasing production efficiency and automate the stock flow management
  
  

  Stock control module
  Stocks and their handling are a key strenght of EleAN®. Thanks to the file that receive information from their entry into the production process (purchasing / suppliers) we know exactly their status in real time. With a graphic stock management module we can visualize in the warehouse their location, status, stock, and future employments for the material in manufacturing orders. It also allows plant operators to have this information available for verification, movement or use, leaving this way the paperwork and information losses aside. We thus optimize processes in a manufacturing plant, or even a large scale product distributor, freeing localization processes and regular inventories.

  A great solution to a great problem that EleAN® offers companies through its Visual Stock Management module – VSM.
