vEMI-Traceability allows customers to trace product forward and backward through plant storage units, processing equipment, valves, and pipes. It constructs a graphic depiction of genealogy that is easy to understand and navigate.
vEMI QUALITIES
Configurable
Configurable. The vEMI Suite comes with a smart architecture that will rapidly configure to the plant floor. This enables order magnitude reduction in the installation cost, eliminates the technical risk associated with lengthy integration efforts. It allows customers to receive more immediate return on their investment.
Modular
Modular. The vEMI Suite is offered as comprehensive bundle, or as one or more separately installed functional modules that address a particular need. This allows customers to quickly address key focus areas, such as regulatory compliance, or to phase training over a longer period. It also offers customers to work within a current year budget, and use savings achieved from a vEMI Suite module to finance expansion.
Repeatable
Repeatable. Because vEMI installs as a configurable product, the data collection steps are highly repeatable across an enterprise. This enables systematic and consistent collection and analysis, as required in response to contamination from a raw materials supplier. It reduces validation efforts required upon installation. This has significant implications on lifetime cost of the digital records system.
Robust
Robust. The vEMI Suite combines industry KPIs with powerful analytics tools and a graphical user interface, to provide a complete solution out-of-the-box. Users can quickly isolate problems and drill down to the information they want to see. The product has a forward looking roadmap, and the configuration can easily update and evolve when the customer wants to change equipment, products and processes.
Compatible
Compatible. The vEMI Suite is compatible with all existing plant equipment and software. It allows scalable business practices to be deployed within an enterprise that has acquired plants or evolved into a heterogeneous automation control environment. It puts the evolution of business intelligence on a forward looking path.
Vision
Vision. When a customer selects vEMI Suite, they are buying into solutions that provide immediate payback, with an eye toward constantly improving plant performance and enabling process, equipment and other plant adjustments to be implemented with maximum efficiency.
The patented genealogy algorithm provides best in class traceability even for highly complex fluid processing, allowing customers to minimize the volume of product exposed to product recall risk at any time, and to validate scientifically the conclusions reached in the event of an actual contamination or other food safety incident. This allows companies with global supply chains, or multi function plants, to better understand and contain their risk factors in the event of an incident.
With vEMI-Traceability the customer can trace any material or ingredient forward and backward from any point in the Plant Model. The customer may search for any attribute of a material that has entered the system. The Plant Model will configure to collect lot traceable parameters such as Supplier Lot ID, Bill of Lading Numbers, or Operator Names. A simple to read graphic visualization will instantly identify the point of origin around searchable parameters, to immediately isolate all products that could have been affected, as well as the process path unique to the parameters in question. All co-mingling, by-products, and mixed lots are quickly and securely identified.
vEMI-Traceability also supports point of origin search capabilities, such as material moving from the receiving bay through loading dock. The search parameters can be filtered to begin at the end-consumer package lot code and trace backwards to the incoming material at the receiving bay.
