Dynamic Systems, Inc., a Bellevue, Wash.-based software developer specializing in traceability and inventory systems for fresh food, has launched a new, low-cost version of its SIMBA system designed to give smaller produce growers/packers/shippers accessibility to the features of higher-level traceability and inventory systems. The SIMBA Lite system can be implemented for under $10,000.
The SIMBA Lite system prints PTI-compliant serialized case and pallet labels in a batch format designed to make them easy to adhere to finished goods as they come off the pack line. The printed labels are recorded in the SIMBA database as inventory, with all specific characteristics of the product—type, grade, size, weight, etc.—and it is easy to print reports that provide full traceability meeting government regulations.
Inventory is created as labels are printed, providing a perpetual in-stock inventory. When product is “shipped” from SIMBA, information regarding the customer, date, etc., is recorded, closing the traceability loop and allowing inventory in stock to be reduced.
SIMBA Lite users can upgrade with the mobile application, SIMBA Logistics, which uses barcode scanners to track inventory within a warehouse and to automatically reduce inventory as product is shipped. And as the company grows, SIMBA Lite can be upgraded to SIMBA Pro, which brings the label printing onto the plant floor and provides real-time inventory and production information along with increased productivity.
Key results include accurate inventory, complete end-to-end traceability, compliance with PTI requirements and more.
