Mobile execution for food and beverage manufacturing

Protect product quality from receiving through shipment

ScanWorkX connects warehouse and production employees directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 through guided mobile workflows, barcode scanning, real-time validation, and label printing.

Employees can record ingredients, packaging, work in process, finished products, lots, expiration dates, variable weights, inventory status, and shipping activity where the physical work occurs.

Food manufacturing barcode scanning and ERP workflow connecting receiving, production, finished products, and Microsoft Dynamics 365
One mobile execution layer connects physical food production activity with the corresponding Dynamics 365 transaction.
01
Improve traceability Capture lot-controlled activity throughout production and warehouse execution.
02
Reduce manual transactions Replace paper records and delayed workstation entry with guided mobile steps.
03
Standardize plant execution Apply consistent transaction controls across production, storage, and shipping areas.

Control every material movement

Record what arrived, what production used, and what was shipped

ScanWorkX supports ingredients, packaging materials, work in process, finished products, containers, pallets, and shipping units throughout the food manufacturing lifecycle.

Food manufacturing workflow with barcode scanning and ERP integration from ingredient receiving through production and shipping
Guided mobile transactions help keep physical material flow aligned with the corresponding Dynamics 365 record.
01

Receive and identify material

Record item, quantity, unit of measure, supplier lot, expiration date, inventory status, and storage location while receiving ingredients and packaging.

02

Stage and kit production orders

Guide employees through moving the correct ingredients, packaging components, lots, quantities, and statuses to the required production area.

03

Issue and return lot-controlled material

Validate production order, item, lot, quantity, location, and status while recording consumption or returning unused material.

04

Report production as finished

Capture completed quantities, lots, batches, catch weights, storage locations, and inventory status where packaging or completion occurs.

05

Move, count, pick, and ship

Maintain transaction visibility as finished products are transferred, counted, selected, packed, labeled, and verified for shipment.

Food-specific transaction controls

Control weight, product status, expiration, and shelf life

Food manufacturing transactions often require more than item and quantity. ScanWorkX can present the additional information employees need to validate variable weight, inventory status, lot attributes, expiration dates, and remaining shelf life.

Food manufacturing quality controls for catch weight, quarantine inventory, expiration validation, and FEFO selection
Transaction validation helps keep the physical product, barcode label, and Dynamics 365 inventory record aligned.
01 Catch-weight capture

Capture both physical quantity and actual measured weight during production, packing, inventory movement, picking, or shipping. Workflows can incorporate barcode and scale input where the operating process requires it.

Production Packing Inventory movement Shipping
02 Quality and inventory status

Validate released, restricted, quarantined, expired, or unapproved material before it is consumed, moved, or shipped. Guided transactions can support holds, disposition, inspection movement, rejection, and returns.

Quality hold Quarantine Restricted status Rejected material
03 FEFO and shelf-life execution

Guide or validate lot selection using expiration dates and required remaining shelf life instead of relying only on receipt sequence. This supports better rotation in ambient, refrigerated, and frozen inventory.

Use earlier-expiring lots Reduce spoilage Protect remaining shelf life
Reduce short-dated shipments Validate expiration and remaining shelf-life requirements.
Protect production quality Prevent restricted or unsuitable material from reaching the line.
Improve weight accuracy Record actual product weight closer to where it is measured.
Reduce write-offs Improve product rotation and visibility into expiring inventory.

Traceability and plant-wide execution

Trace every lot and standardize execution across facilities

ScanWorkX helps connect supplier lots, production activity, finished products, inventory locations, and shipments while supporting mobile workflows designed for real food manufacturing environments.

Point-of-activity transactions help maintain forward and backward lot traceability across production and shipment.

Connect supplier materials to finished-product shipments

Transaction history captured through ScanWorkX can help Dynamics 365 maintain the relationships needed to trace affected material backward to its source and forward to finished products, inventory, and customers.
