The operator solution in direct FOOD is developed for manufacturing environments with high demands for efficiency, hygiene and traceability. It provides operators with an intuitive interface to follow the production plan, access recipes and register usage, deviations and measurements – all in one view.

Control and traceability in your production

From the operator screen, staff gain access to production overviews, recipe handling, material tracking, deviation logging and measurement entry – all in one place. Operators can log quantities produced, enter batch and lot numbers, and track materials used, with full traceability back to raw material and purchase orders.

Barcode scanners and RFID are fully supported, providing precise registration and reducing errors in material usage and production logging.

Efficient operation and data collection with direct FOOD

Operators log in using personal RFID tags, and the screen automatically adapts to the selected station. This ensures secure and efficient access, supporting multiple users across different workstations. The system prompts whether to switch or keep the active station, and all activity is logged automatically.

This flexibility is especially valuable in food production environments, where hygiene zones and shift-based work require secure and seamless access.

Shared screens and controlled recipe access

Several operators can use the same touchscreen terminal simultaneously or in shifts. This maximises the usage of equipment and supports high-volume production.

Recipe access can be protected by password, ensuring that only authorised personnel can view or edit sensitive product data – ideal for competitive food processors with proprietary formulations.

Messaging without leaving hygienic zones

Den innebygde meldingsfunksjonen i direct FOOD includes a built-in messaging function that allows production managers or quality staff to send messages directly to the operator screen – no need to leave the production area. Messages appear instantly, enabling quick response and improved communication.

Time tracking and post-calculation with full traceability

Operators can register time on orders and workstations, providing valuable insight into actual labour usage. This data is used in post-calculation to document resource consumption and efficiency per batch, product and operation.
