Where the record breaks down
Checks in three places
Intake, line and finished goods each recorded separately, then reconciled by hand.
Release waits on paperwork
A lot sits while someone assembles the evidence to release it.
Rework found too late
An out-of-spec reading surfaces after the lot has moved down the line.
From intake to release
The evidence a release needs is written as the lot moves, not assembled at the end of it.
One file from intake to release
Composition and quality readings attach to the lot, so in-process checks and finished-goods records build the release file as work happens.

Catch it at the line
Out-of-spec readings flag where they happen, not at final check.
Lot-level traceability
Every reading held against the lot it came from.
Faster release
Evidence is already together when the decision is due.
A lot goes out
Composition readings attach to the lot as it is measured, so the release file sit against the lot as it moves rather than being gathered at the end.
An out-of-specification reading is flagged against the lot. That is the difference between diverting one lot and reworking a shift.
When the lot is ready for release, the evidence is already together and the decision is a review rather than a search.
- Readings sit against the lot
- Deviations caught at the line, not at final check
- Release becomes a decision, not an exercise

Both instruments are connected to IQX™ – so rather than having one software package for this instrument and another for that one, it’s all one web-based system. I can go on from home, from my phone, from anywhere I have an internet connection.

The instruments you are likely already running in meat processing
These FOSS analytical instruments report into the platform. FOSS IQX™ Supplier Quality needs none of them.
New models are added over time, and most sites run more than one generation of instrument. A specialist can confirm coverage for your exact fleet. Specifications for each instrument are on fossanalytics.com.
