Traceability issues can be less of a problem for food manufacturers according to Lock Inspection Systems.

Traceability issues can be less of a problem for food manufacturers according to Lock Inspection Systems, whose MET 30+ metal detectors are part of what the company described as part of turnkey traceability systems to ensure product safety.

The MET 30+'s software is claimed to protect manufacturers, contract packers, retailers and brand owners in an industry increasingly pursuing 100 per cent traceability added the company.

All detectors are fitted with standard traceability functions but more powerful and thorough traceability is now enabled by Datachek and Batchchek.

Datachek is a data management system that monitors and reports the status of individual lines, machines and products.

Operators can collect and store information to provide a valuable central record of all validation and production data.

The records can be exported for use in other applications, providing an essential tool for compliance with HACCP, ISO and Weights and Measures requirements said Lock.

Batchchek, originally developed for the pharmaceutical sector, is claimed to provide a comprehensive record management system.

It is said to allow manufacturers to meet stringent electronic records and electronic signature requirements.

The software also implements all security access controls, user identification and audit trails, so in the event of contamination, batches can be fully traced and accounted for.

It provides even higher levels of product security and recordability than those permitted by Datachek, claimed Lock.
