Accurate, cost-controlled production is key for maintaining high standards. BESTMIX® integrates with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to provide real-time labeling, detailed costing, and rework management, ensuring efficient, consistent, and high-quality production. It also boosts safety by supporting cross-contamination control within the plant, enabling secure production practices. By synchronizing transport and production capacities, BESTMIX® eliminates inefficiencies for a smoother operation.
The feed industry stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, navigating the complex journey toward efficiency, profitability, and sustainability. Along the way, companies face many obstacles during production that aren’t just problems to solve—they’re opportunities to improve and grow.
Integrating your ERP software with your Manufacturing Execution System (MES) offers the potential for seamless data flow, real-time production insights, improved decision-making, and enhanced operational efficiency across your entire production process. But achieving full integration isn’t easy. Hurdles may include ensuring compatibility between systems, managing the complexity of aligning business-level planning with shop-floor execution and handling large volumes of real-time data. Without proper implementation, companies risk inefficiencies, data silos, and missed opportunities for optimization. On top of that, knowing exactly what every batch costs is essential as margins are small and raw material prices change often, but this means tracking everything—ingredient prices, energy use, labour hours... If costing is off, products might be priced too high to sell or too low to make a profit, both of which hurt the business. Lastly, rework management without wasting resources or affecting product quality takes careful planning and good tracking systems to make sure rework is used properly, stays compliant with safety rules and doesn’t create inconsistencies in the final product.
In short, MES integration simplifies production, precise costing strengthens profitability, and smart rework management protects both quality and resources. These improvements set the stage for long-term success in a competitive industry.
Fully compatible with any MES, our system integrates seamlessly with the most common industry partners. With industry-best practice workflows, production data is exported to MES, and statuses are updated in real-time in BESTMIX ERP. Additionally, raw material quantities and production outputs are fully integrated, ensuring streamlined, efficient operations and enhanced control over your entire production process.
Accurate costing ensures that every batch is priced appropriately, protecting margins even when raw material prices fluctuate. Real-time tracking of production costs helps maintain profitability by identifying inefficiencies and improving pricing strategies, while adding certain overhead costs such as electricity, labour or maintenance to each order make sure that your cost of goods produced is accurate and your sales margins are kept safe.
Effective rework management ensures consistent, high-quality products while minimizing waste. This not only reduces costs but also strengthens customer trust and brand reputation. As an integrated solution, rework management is built into our system. New recipes for rework products can be easily created and sent, ensuring that no product goes to waste and maximizing the value of every batch.
To further enhance production efficiency and compliance, BESTMIX undertakes AI projects aimed at helping your operations stay within required specifications. By using AI models, we want to steer production machines and provide real-time support to operators, ensuring precision and reducing variability. This advanced approach not only streamlines workflows but also empowers your team to achieve greater consistency and efficiency. With BESTMIX, you don’t just monitor production—you gain a partner that actively supports your commitment to excellence.
The integration of BESTMIX Recipe Management with ERP ensures seamless synchronization of labels with product formulations, eliminating outdated labels. When a new recipe is sent to the ERP, a label is generated automatically, streamlining production and shipping processes. Key details like manufacturing dates, batch numbers, and expiration dates can be added directly to labels for accuracy. Fully customizable label design allows businesses to tailor content to their needs, with an intuitive interface enabling printing on delivery documents, bag tags, and more. This adaptability ensures precision, especially for customer-specific requirements like medication additives, with real-time label composition for every sales order.
