The Production Power of ProRecipe XT®

How Recipe Software Enhances Food Production Safety and Efficiency

December 2024 - ProRecipe XT® is the ideal solution from Minebea Intec, a leading global manufacturer of weighing technologies, specifically designed for companies in the food industry. This software integrates scales and software into a powerful unit to manage manual dosing processes, meeting the highest standards for precision and process reliability. This benefits not only production companies with demanding recipes but also system integrators looking to expand their portfolio with a robust recipe management system.

In the production hall, a focused atmosphere prevails. All raw materials for the upcoming order are ready. An employee glances at the screen: the exact quantities for the next batch have been calculated. Scanning the label of the first raw material opens a clear weighing screen. The employee precisely batches the material until the screen changes color, indicating the target quantity has been reached. Thanks to the ProRecipe XT® software solution from Minebea Intec, the entire process runs smoothly—from exact weighing of ingredients to automatic documentation. What was once laboriously and error-prone recorded on paper is now a digitally controlled, error-free process that saves time. "With ProRecipe XT®, we enable our customers not only to digitize their production processes but also to make them significantly safer and more efficient," explains Lars-Henrik Bierwirth, Global Product Manager at Minebea Intec. "Thanks to complete traceability and precise control of all process parameters, we are setting new standards in production safety."

Efficiency and Precision Combined

ProRecipe XT® ensures precise dosing and transparently documents all steps, from small batches to complex multi-component recipes. A typical application in the food industry is the production of baked goods, where numerous ingredients must be processed in different quantities. Here, ProRecipe XT® ensures that each ingredient is batched exactly, avoiding weighing errors. Thanks to the interface with existing ERP systems, order and batch data can be transferred automatically. Once dosing is complete, ProRecipe XT® returns the weighing data and consumption quantities directly. This saves time, minimizes input errors, and ensures an up-to-date stock overview at all times.

In the food industry, where costs often need to be calculated carefully, ProRecipe XT® stands out with its modular and competitively priced licensing concept. "Our solution is so flexibly scalable that both small and large companies benefit," emphasizes Bierwirth. "The user-friendliness and adaptability of ProRecipe XT® make it the perfect choice for any production environment."
