SIMBA Enterprise Software Provides Full Production Traceability for Seafood Processors

Dynamic Systems, Inc., a Redmond, Washington software developer specializing in barcode data collection, has announced the release of SIMBA Enterprise. This new release of the popular SIMBA Seafood System adds more traceability functionality, and uses various methods to process, label and track their products from "dock to customer".

 The (Specialized Inventory Management with Barcode Accuracy) system solves the problem of how to produce and track complete product labeling for seafood on the fly in a flexible, fast and easy-to-use system.

designed for seafood processors who handle many products through various steps in their production and packaging, and need fast, accurate information for production and sales. SIMBA tracks, labels and ships an unlimited number of products with specific species and characteristics. The system automatically generates bills of lading and verifies shipments. SIMBA Enterprise allows the processor to track and organize products by pallet, lot and case including repeated commingling and re-boxing. Inventory can be tracked by location, recording moves from warehouse to warehouse, re-pack and commingle products at any point in the process without losing lot traceability.

The system uses barcode data collection, and allows the worker to produce product labels with all pertinent information capturing product information (weight, size, color, grade) for that carton or bag on the fly from the production floor.  The information is then stored in the SIMBA  database which provides details for inventory management, traceability and shipping.  The cartons may be accumulated onto a pallet and tracked with a single pallet identifier. 

Van Loading     At the time of shipping, the Van Loading feature of SIMBA Enterprise tracks each carton or pallet onto a specific van.  A Bill of Lading is then produced automatically.  This feature not only saves time in the shipping process, it eliminates disputes with the customer regarding what was actually shipped.

Results     Key results from implementing the SIMBA software include increased production speed; the ability to get real-time, accurate production reports; ability to fulfill traceability requirements; accurate professional looking carton and pallet labels; and expedited van loading.
