ERP Traceability System Used in Visual Counter

ERP Traceability System Used in Visual Counter--------Providing Better Security for Foods and Pharmaceuticals

Foods and pharmaceuticals safety are the biggest concern of common people. Because of the safety problems happened before, consumers begin to pay attention to products packaging which enhances their traceabilty awareness. The product label is vital for the circulation of goods because the production date, expiration date, and other traceability tracking information indicated on the product label are the most direct way for consumers to know the products.

The rise of the Internet provides a better guarantee for the safety traceability of the food and pharmaceutical industries, which makes every commodity has a unique and queryable ID. With the development of society, ERP traceability is a trend, which can provide better security for food and pharmaceuticals. If any company fails to provide consumers with safe foods or pharmaceuticals, it cannot survive. Therefore,  more and more foods and pharmaceuticals enterprises are paying attention to the application of ERP traceability system technology.

Application of traceability technology system is a kind of information management, which forms a kind of electronic technology through the bar code technology, data enlargement number, data transmission, radio frequency technology and other comprehensive solutions to supervise the whole process of production, outbound and sales which ensures the safety of foods and pharmaceuticals.

The traditional photoelectric counter which is also known as the electronic automatic counting machine, is counting automatically using photoelectric effect working principle to release materials through vibration. However, the working principle determines that it can not count irregular materials, but also affected by dust. The visual counting machine is different from the traditional electronic automatic counting machine. Visual counter of Henning Saint adopts the breakthrough principle which includes high-speed image taking, pile counting, logical distribution and counting method based on high-speed vision technology. It has 7 advantages: 1) remote image acquisition which is not affected by dust; 2) high resolution of materials which can also accurately count even overlapped; 3) pile counting in high speed and accuracy; 4) strong compatibility: one machine can count many kinds of materials; 5) one button to clean the remaining materials which can quickly replace the packaging materials; 6) connected with factory ERP information which makes production information traceable; 7) intelligent detection alarm function which has abnormal alarm prompt system for foreign materials, lack of materials and packaging machines.

Visual counter of Henning Saint is popular because of the small size, light weight, accurate counting and easy operation. The contact surface of the counter is made of stainless steel, which is the ideal special equipment for packaging products in various related industries. Visual counter of Henning Saint is suitable for pharmaceutical, hospital, foods and other industries which can accurately count capsules, tablets, pellets, pills and candies in different shapes. The counting speed can reach 12,000 granules per minute.

Visual counter of Henning Saint which can integrate fieldbus technology and ERP system, is cooperated with packaging machine to achieve traceability of the whole production. Administrators can easily access and analyze operation data through ERP system which can understand the actual and immediate situation of production while monitor the operation situation of the workshop.
