Simple Formulation
A repeatable formulation process starts with accurate weighing. Simple paper-based operations can be enhanced with scale indicators that feature visual tolerance indications, such as weighing bars and color displays. Documentation and traceability are achieved by attaching a printer to record actual material quantities.
Indicator-based Recipe Management
Scale indicators with integrated recipe management provide an additional level of process control in a compact package. Raw materials, lot numbers, and operator messages can be stored for easy recall by operators. Confirmation of process steps with a connected barcode reader provides comfortable and secure production.
Formulation Software Solutions
Whether production requires manual or automatic dispensing, or a combination of the two, centralized formulation systems can unite workplace flexibility with stringent process control. Configurable software and operator-friendly workstations optimize the weighing process to eliminate errors, streamline utilization, and reduce material waste. Incorporating industry standards, such as S88, integration with ERP systems, and validation support for regulatory environments ensures a complete and robust solution.
Consistent Product Quality
Form+ provides complete control over the recipe management and material dispensing process, assuring each batch is made accurately and efficiently. By eliminating operator errors and material waste, Form+ results in greater profitability and predictable manufacturing outcomes.
Track and Trace for Every Industry
Every action in Form+ is automatically recorded, providing complete process transparency and automated batch evidence reporting. Quality checks are enforced directly at the weighing stations and are electronically documented for full track and trace capabilities.
Simple and User-friendly Operator Interfaces
Complicated manufacturing processes are broken down into simple and intuitive operator guidance. Each process step is displayed for the operator on easy-to-understand screens. Quality checks and automatic scale selection provide confidence that operators cannot make mistakes. There's no need for complicated ERP or MES system training—new operators can achieve perfect batches in just minutes with Form+.
Scalable and Flexible Architecture
Form+ is designed with a fully scalable architecture using IT industry-standard technologies. All system data is stored in a central database, enabling efficient management and accessibility.
How can I avoid operator errors?
Operator errors in formulation can be avoided by investing in solutions specifically designed for this, such as; ICS scales, Form+, Formulaiton Software solutions, smart indicators, IND570fill, printers, bar code readers, and high precision scales.
How can I prevent errors from operators?
Operator errors can be avoided with formulation application for ICS689 scales. It speeds up manual formulation processes. The software guides an operator through a recipe allowing traceable recipe weighing without costly network infrastructure.
How can I improve manual formulation?
Our formulation solutions are designed to optimize and control manual formulation processes. They offer clear operator guidance making your recipe-weighing and formulation process transparent, traceable and efficient.
How can I ensure quality in batching or dosing?
Selecting the right batch control system for your operations is an important task that not only will impact product quality and operational speed, but also the bottom line. This checklist outlines what needs to be considered so your batching is set up right from the start.
How can I ensure accuracy and quality with automatic blending?
Accuracy and quality in automatic batching can be achieved with the IND570 Advanced Indicator. The IND570 indicator offers easy-to-configure software routines, discrete I/O, and more to enable accurate control of simple or advanced blending, filling, and dosing operations.
How can automatic batching improve my formulation process?
Our automatic batching solutions are designed to optimize and control batch formulation processes with solutions such as Powermount™. The PowerMount system constantly monitors load cell performance and alerts the user before serious trouble. This keeps you in control of your process and avoids faulty batches and huge follow-up costs.
How can I make sure the equipment in my formulation process is compliant with the latest safety standards?
Our solutions help you fulfill your safety standards without compromising on functionality. Our hazardous guidelines are also easy to understand simplifying communication of relevant standards to all employees. Our experienced, factory-trained service specialists make sure hazardous area weighing equipment is safely installed, inspected, maintained, calibrated, and repaired.
How can I make sure my equipment is calibrated correctly?
Periodically scheduled scale calibrations in combination with frequent routine testing greatly enhance the life time of your scale's weighing accuracy, providing optimal operation of your formulation process. Calibration determines industrial weighing equipment performance. With routine scale calibration and adjustment, compliance is made easier with our comprehensive and audit-proof certificates from MiraCal. Our calibration services help achieve compliance, cost savings and quality.
