The SDP was developed by the Equipment Design Task Force (EDTF), a group of representatives from meat and  poultry processing companies, and was published in 2013. The EDTF’s purpose in creating the SDP was to help equipment manufacturers and food  processors ensure their  equipment designs met specific criteria to reduce the risk of pathogens contaminating food. Although the SDP was created by representatives by businesses already in food processing, the intent is for the SDP to serve the entire industry, creating a standardized system of criteria for equipment to reduce contamination and recalls, benefiting food processors and consumers alike.

The popularity of ERP systems in the manufacturing world seems to be ever increasing. In a day and age when data equates to dollars the more relevant data that can be generated the better. Larger food processors dedicate full-time staff to maintain, collect, and analyse data coming into their ERP systems. A good ERP system will enable a food processing plant to take an in depth look at their processes in order to maximize their efficiencies and streamline the flow of production.

How to transition a food processing facility from an outdated Plant Floor Data Collection and Warehouse Management System to a proven Plant Productivity and Traceability Suite.

Although traceability has been part of the food industry for a long time, it has become a cornerstone over the last several years. With all this buzz, many plants have either tried to implement a new traceability system or replace an outdated one. Many questions swirl around implementing or improving traceability. What exactly is traceability? How can I achieve better traceability? What sort of ROI will I get if I update my plant’s traceability? All these questions are valid, and an in-depth look into traceability will answer most questions.
