Frit Ravich uses RAVAS mobile weighing systems for their batching and dosing process

Before using RAVAS weighing systems, Frit Ravich started the production process with a number of kgs of raw material but did not control how much of the final product would come out of it.

Shortage or surplus errors were observed after production was finished. Product was missing to complete the order or there were units left over and there was no order to assign that surplus to. Loss of raw material.

We spoke with Narcís, Frit Ravich's warehouse manager. He tells us that there were losses in production. There were differences in the kg of raw material used and the kg of material produced at the end. Sometimes there was a lack of quantity to complete the order and sometimes there was excess. This required a re-run of the manufacturing process to complete an order or save unnecessary stock.

Let's say supermarket X orders 1000kg bags of potato chips from Frit Ravich. Frit Ravich takes a pallet or big bag of 1000kg of potatoes, weighs it, and then takes it to the water, salt and roasting process. At the entrance to each process, the goods are weighed again, as the weight can vary. The processes use metal tanks with an assigned bar code. Thanks to this, the kilos transported are registered through the RAVAS Integration Software in the Frit Ravich Warehouse Management System. By knowing the amount of residual raw material after washing with water, the salting process and subsequent roasting, Frit Ravich is able to optimize its manufacturing process by using the exact amount of each ingredient without having a shortage or surplus of end product.
