Operators log onto Cimplicity screens and are presented with a list of recipes valid for the associated batch tank. Liquid additions are added automatically from a raw materials tank farm located near the batching area. Dry ingredients and non bulk liquid adds are added from totes. Ingredient usage is tracked and reports are generated when the completed batch is pumped to finished goods tanks.
