Industrial Recipe Management Software

Automated Cooking with Recipe Manager Software

The system ensures that each kettle follows a written recipe with varying levels of automation, depending on the application:

• Fully automated systems: For piped ingredient additions, the kettle controls all heating, speed, and timing without operator intervention.
• Manual ingredient additions: Operators receive on-screen prompts when an ingredient is required. Additions must fall within the pre-set tolerance before the cooking process can continue.
• Full traceability: Every step of the cooking process is recorded, ensuring compliance with HACCP standards and providing complete process transparency.

Batch Scheduling for Optimised Production

The built-in scheduler organises all kettle activity, enforcing a specific batch order to maximise efficiency. For large-scale food production, multi-tonne batches can be automatically distributed across multiple kettles to streamline workflow and reduce downtime.

Comprehensive Reporting System for Quality Assurance

Immediately after cooking, the Recipe Management Software generates a detailed report that includes:

• Operator details for accountability
• Temperature, weight, and ingredient records
• Pasteurisation values and cooking efficiency calculations
• Export options to formats such as XLS, PDF, and HTML
