In an industry that requires constant adaptability, generating accurate product specifications quickly and efficiently is crucial. This is where specialized labeling solutions play a pivotal role. Labeling software tailored for the nutrition sector supports teams from initial concept development to final product specifications, ensuring seamless compliance and efficiency throughout the process.
Addressing Common Labeling Challenges
In the animal feed sector, labels (also known as "feed-tags" in the USA) are critical. They provide essential information on product composition and safe usage, which is mandated by law in most countries. These labels ensure that customers can properly feed their animals, maintaining their health and well-being. However, the process is not without its challenges. These include:
-
Adapting to ever-changing legislation
-
Recipe optimization
-
Managing customer-specific formulations
-
Correct handling of additives
-
Navigating multilingual labeling requirements
Integrated Labeling for Maximum Efficiency
One key solution is the integration of BESTMIX Recipe management tools with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This integration allows for the automatic synchronization of labels with product formulations, ensuring that outdated labels are avoided. The process is streamlined—when a new recipe is sent to the ERP system, a label is generated simultaneously.
This automated approach enhances efficiency during production and shipping, allowing additional product details such as manufacturing dates, batch numbers, and expiration dates to be added directly onto the labels.
Customization to Meet Specific Needs
Label design is fully customizable, allowing businesses to tailor the content to their specific needs. Thanks to a clear and intuitive interface, labels can be printed directly onto delivery documents, bag tags, and more. This adaptability is especially useful when handling customer-specific additives, such as medications. In these cases, real-time label composition ensures accuracy for every sales order.
Key Benefits of BESTMIX Label Automation
Automating the labeling process offers several key advantages for the nutrition industry:
-
Increased Efficiency: Automatically importing labels into the ERP system eliminates manual errors and streamlines the process.
-
Enhanced Safety: Consistently providing accurate declaration labels ensures feed safety and compliance with regulations.
-
Empowered Teams: Automation allows staff to focus on more value-added tasks rather than manual labeling during production and shipping.
-
Regulatory Compliance: Risk of non-compliance is reduced, preventing delivery of feed without proper labeling and feeding instructions.
-
Accurate Additive Information: Labels are updated in real-time to reflect any customer-specific additives or mixture changes, ensuring proper nutritional information is always provided.
