Food Safety & Quality
CAT Squared’s Food Safety and Quality Management (FSQM) module is a robust and versatile data collection application, allowing companies to collect paperless HACCP, food safety, quality, downtime, plant monitoring, and facility data.
Data can be collected from probes, existing plant-floor equipment, and by plant-floor operators using handheld or touchscreen computers. If a measurement exceeds the set limits, the system can walk the operator through corrective action steps and generate an electronic CAPA form as well as notify appropriate personnel by text message or email.
FSQM provides consistent, reliable data in an easy-to-use format. All data can be viewed and analyzed in real-time, including pre-shipment reviews, compliance reports, and SPC charts with export capabilities.
