MES Receiving Module
CAT Squared’s Receiving application integrates with a plant’s ERP system to receive dry goods, spices, and raw meat into the plant.
All incoming items are received against purchase orders, labeled with a unique bar code, and placed into storage or issued to a department or production line. Touchscreen and hand-held computers are used to track the movement and consumption of all meat, dry goods, and spices in the plant, ensuring complete traceability and a real-time inventory.
