Increasing
legislation and quality assurance requirements mean that it is essential
that full traceability of formulation data is available. Format
International have responded to this need by developing the Tracer™
module as part of the New Century™ range of programs.
Tracer™
is designed to store a complete set of data that was used to produce a set
of formulae. These scenarios include
formulations, their corresponding specifications and the raw materials
used in the formulations.
An
example of the user-friendly way in which Tracer™ works is shown to the
right. The screen illustrates a list of scenarios. By clicking on the
version number of a scenario, its details are displayed and may be further
investigated –

Tracer
™
features
- Storage
of a “snapshot” of data leading to a new set of formulae, known
as a scenario – recipes, specifications, raw materials.
- Additional
associated data may also be stored – product labels/tags and
Bio-Security templates.
- Full
traceability, including ability to recall the scenario into the
active formulation files for further investigation.
- User-friendly,
interactive, click-and-see facilities in all areas.
- Single
or multiple plant configurations available.
- Fully
integrated with other Format International modules such as
Single-Mix® and Integra-Mix™ optimization modules, and Smart Label™
product labeling module.
- Scenarios,
and data contained within each scenario, are
individually identified by a version number.
- Formulation
version numbering occurs independently of scenario version numbering
to keep a continuous record. Version numbering may be set according
to the user’s preference. Date-linked, incremental or manual
versions are all available.
- Variations
of standard formulations, for example with drug additions, are also
stored. These “Shadow
Formulae” may be automatically generated when a new
scenario is created.
- Includes
standard interfaces for transfer of formulae to production.
