One of the major challenges in any industry is consistently delivering quality products. This is particularly challenging in process industries dealing with raw materials that are yet to be refined. In the feed industry, the crops show high fluctuations in both availability and quality. In such a highly volatile market it is difficult but essential to keep track of the quality of your raw materials and their suppliers.

BESTMIX Quality Control is such a solution that allows users to keep track of the quality of the raw materials during intake, during the production process and in the final product. The software also allows you to track different suppliers and to rank them according to their value and impact for your organization.

Collecting this data is, in itself, very valuable, but the real added value lies in integrating this data with your ERP solution.

Accelerate production with a guaranteed quality

Thanks to the integration between quality data software and ERP, the entire processes from intake to production can be automated:

For example:

When a call-off or purchase order is issued to Adifo’s ERP solution, MILAS AX, this also ensures:

• the expected intake is instantly available in MILAS AX
• MILAS AX automatically generates a sample within BESTMIX Quality Control
• MILAS AX automatically generates an expected intake in the control system - which manages the inbound loading process

During the intake, MILAS AX automatically receives the intake figures from the MES software and quality data from BESTMIX LIMS. Based on this information the contract is updated, quality adjustments are applied and the net weight is calculated. In case the quality is not acceptable, MILAS AX rejects the batch. Later in the process MILAS AX also takes care of managing all the financial settlements (invoicing, post payments, etc…). “

Advantages of integrating quality software with your ERP

It is obvious that an integration between your quality control software and ERP allows you to work quicker and improves the quality of your products whilst paying the correct amount to your suppliers.
