Recipe optimisation has never been so easy! Our user-friendly interfaces means you can achieve the desired result quickly and effectively.

• Recipes or product groups / product families selection
• Display of limits, costs, refused raw materials, accounting prices, optimal amino acid ratios, etc.
• Comparison of raw material requirements optimisation with current production (mixing instructions)
• Recipes can be optimised as often as desired during processing without changing the output basis, whereby the last five optimisations can always be viewed and compared in parallel
• Entered maximum contents are taken into account in addition to the restrictions
• Technical restrictions can be entered per component and plant / line (e.g. component share equal to 0 or at least 2%).
• A ‚swing factor‘ can be set for the components of the recipe so that the optimisation does not deviate too far from the existing exported mixing instruction
• Components can be switched from active / inactive by clicking

Automatic recipe rounding after optimisation or calculation.

• Automatic rounding of the component proportions according to the default value in the raw material file to the mixer size or scale resolution
• Balancing of the mixture by means of a raw material list, individual raw material optionally by means of the cheapest component, the one with the largest share or the carriers set in the recipe
• Highlighted display of ingredients in case of deviation from the specifications (min / max)
• Storage as raw material (supplement / concentrate) and as production mixture
• Input of component proportions in percent or kilograms with reciprocal conversion related to the set batch

• Declaration text replacement: with this module, changes to texts, EC numbers, etc. for ingredients, additives or components can be replaced or updated on all declarations and delivery notes without having to recreate the declarations or losing (manual) changes to the content.

Sales item-related declaration options, this further simplifies the declaration process.

Save item declaration options:

• For ingredients, additives and composition, the ‚Value, with quantity and pressure‘ fields can be fixed per record for each article. This means that these fixed fields are not updated when a new declaration is created due to a changed recipe, and remain article-specific. However, it is also possible to overwrite (update) the fixed fields. Item declarations that contain fixed fields are highlighted in colour.

Additive:

• Ingredients or additives that would no longer be included by the current declaration are removed even if they are fixed (e.g.: a new premix replaces magnesium sulphate with magnesium oxide).Components that would no longer be included by the current declaration are not replaced.

A warning message is issued if the composition exceeds 100% or, in the case of an open declaration, the sequence no longer complies with the legal requirements.

Starting point for nutrient flows.

• Defining the active substances for export
• The active substance values of these ingredients are determined as follows:

1. The active ingredient values are declared, if not then 2.
2. The values can be calculated from declared active ingredients, if not then 3.
3. From the mixture, if not then 4.
4. The values can be calculated from the active substances in the mixture.

• The active ingredient values are output for the corresponding mixture version and all assigned articles with date.
• The data is exported to production and / or merchandise management.

Optimal raw material distribution for a selected pool of recipes.

• This programme provides an optimal raw material distribution via selected mixed recipes with global restrictions on raw materials.

  • Automatic calculation of the optimal distribution of the raw materials and providing the total consumption of raw materials and the additional costs compared to individual optimization
  • The composition of all recipes with the indication the prices for the individual / global optimization and the Production mixtures will be specified
• Technical restrictions are observed
• A percentage upper / lower limit ‚swing factor‘ for components can be stored to ensure that the composition of recipes is not completely changed by the optimal solution
• Recipes can be set ‚fixed‘ so that they are not changed in the optimisation, but still represent consumption.
• Parameterised optimisation
  • Recipe changes with gradual change of a raw material price
  • Recipe changes when the concentration of an active ingredient is gradually changed
• Display of the theoretical range of an existing raw material quantity

Fix recipes so that they are excluded from batch or global optimisation.

• With this module, recipes can be given the ‚fixed‘ status, meaning that recipes (optimisations / mixtures) can no longer be changed. These are highlighted in colour in the programme masks.
• In the single optimisation, they can still be optimised in order to show any differences, but they cannot be saved
• These recipes are not taken into account in batch optimisation
• In global optimisation, these recipes are only used for raw material consumption, but are not changed
