Snack Food Manufacturing information

Consumers are looking for new and healthier products

The UK salty snacks market is growing fast and currently valued at £2.8bn.

With multiple automatic processes involved in snack food manufacturing, impeccable production and quality control is essential.

Every action throughout the manufacturing process – whether it’s prepping, chopping, frying, extruding, or additional flavour ingredients – and must be accounted for.

Full control, full visibility

Understanding throughput, product quality and consistency are essential, and quality control is fundamental to every process.

From the point of raw material intake, whether the snacks manufacturer relies on fresh produce or not, they need to track the quality against each supplier.

With SI’s shop-floor data capture managing all production processes, snacks manufacturers will have complete visibility with live reporting, QA control and traceability throughout their operations.

Our software will then control all tolerances and monitor giveaway in real-time to understand margins and provide the best opportunity to maximise profit.

Our software will track everything – right through to the finished boxed product.

So, not only does our software capture all these conditions as part of the batch traceability, our stock control software also provides a single view of what raw materials are required for your snack food manufacturing processes, based on the sales forecasts.

With SI’s food software in place within your snack manufacturing business, gain a real-time understanding of operations, including:

  • Managing raw material checks at intake.
  • Monitoring whatever the processing machinery is doing (i.e. washing, cutting, slicing, frying or cooking processes, or introducing flavours).
  • Knowing what’s been added to the batch also, how much and when.
  • Capturing and managing specification tolerances, including the correct temperatures for frying, baking and extrusion.
  • Understanding what were the actual conditions that the batch was subjected to.
  • Bagging, boxing and OCM labelling.
  • Picking and despatch.

Tracking product giveaway

Although snacks manufacturing relies on automated processes, giveaway is inevitable. A generation of wastage will occur at different points throughout the production process.

SI’s software tracks wherever the issues are occurring. For instance, products that have been burnt or are too oily, or weight giveaway for finished products.

Map out ingredient costs

By using our cost modelling software, you can map out all ingredient costs and product relationships. And whenever prices change and demand fluctuates, the cost modelling software adjusts the relationships , simultaneously, the costs.

If you work within this challenging food manufacturing sector and would like to discuss ways to improve efficiency, productivity and margins, we’re here to help.

Simply call 01543 444 555 to talk to one of our experts or email info@siltd.co.uk to find out more about our fresh produce processing software capabilities.
