Marelec

Software and labeling

Software and labeling

MARELEC offers a wide range of portion cutters, and grading and batching systems, which can be monitored or controlled by MATRIX software. MATRIX connects with either a

standalone machine or takes control of your entire workshop. Labels can be printed with customer specific information to ensure the products are fully traceable.

MATRIX PRO

Food Processing Software

MATRIX monitors a single device or controls a whole processing facility containing both MARELEC and third-party machines by using the MATRIX PS. MATRIX PS is a modular system that is customized to your needs.

Key benefits

  • Real-time monitoring
  • Remote control
  • Reporting
  • Maximize Yield
  • Maximize Capacity
  • Minimize Give-away
  • Advanced Order Management
  • Labelling
  • Traceability
  • Flexible software

With the flexible and modular MATRIX Software, MARELEC offers processing solutions adapted to individual needs of each customer. This ranges from production data for reporting from a stand-alone MARELEC device, to overall process monitoring and control of an entire food processing plant.

Food processing companies rely on data analysis to determine where to improve their processes. This means that real-time monitoring and controlling of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as yield, throughput, giveaway, quality and uptime is crucial for the competitiveness and profitability of their business.

MATRIX P

Food Processing Software

The MATRIX P software collects all production data from the PORTIO and allows it to generate production reports per shift or program and to trace changes at machine level.

Key benefits

  • Data accessible through a standard database
  • Client version 
  • Remote control
  • Event log

MATRIX P will register all data gathered by the PORTIO while cutting (weight of the primal, weight of each cut, thickness of the cut, etc.). 

The software consists of two main parts:

  • MATRIX P Backoffice: This part of the software will make sure all gathered data is stored on the client's server in a commonly used database.
  • MATRIX P client version: This allows access to the database where all weights are recorded from a computer inside the company. The products and portions can be represented visually. The client version enables the creation of tailor=made reports. This part also allows the PORTIO to be controlled remotely. 

The MATRIX P can also backtrack changes that were made in the cutting programs. The reporting module offers the possibility to create customized reports to see if the changes took effect. 

The software is an enormously powerful tool for monitoring numbers and the KPIs of your cutting operation.

MATRIX G

Food Processing Software

The MATRIX G software collects all production data from the GRADER and allows it to generate production reports per shift or program and to trace changes at machine level.

Key benefits

  • Data accessible through a standard database
  • Client version 
  • Optional label printing
  • Remote control
  • Event log

MATRIX G will register all data gathered by the graders when sorting or batching products (weight of the product, delivered station, weight of each batch, etc.)

It is of the utmost importance for customers to monitor these KPIs. Giveaway can be monitored so adjustments can be made on the fly leading to cost improvement. 

The software consists of two main parts:

  • MATRIX G Backoffice: This part of the software will make sure all gathered data is stored on the client's server in a commonly used database.
  • MATRIX G client version: This allows access to the database where all weights are recorded from a computer inside the company. The throughput of the grader can be represented visually. The client version enables the creation of tailor=made reports. This part also allows the grader to be controlled remotely.

With the MATRIX G, it is also possible to design customized labels and control an optional label printer. 

MATRIX Labeling

Food Processing Software

Design your private labels with MATRIX Labeling software and print the labels for your trays or packs with the MARELEC PR1 or PR2 label printers. These stand-alone printers are fully compatible with our weighing and grading systems. The software gives you 100 % flexibility.

Key benefits

  • Private labelling
  • Stand-alone printer for single machines
  • Inline print and apply solutions
  • Traceability
  • Flexible programming

The MATRIX Label Manager is the ultimate tool for private labelling. It ranges from a single printer to complete inline print & apply solutions, ensuring transparent traceability.  

One of the modules of the MATRIX G is the printing label module. With this feature you can design your own private labels and send them to multiple printers connected to the grader. Labels are then manually applied to the batch.

When the label is applied at a later stage, preferably using a label applicator, the information is stored while the batch is tracked & traced by MATRIX PRO. MATRIX PRO will communicate with the printer and tell it exactly when each label needs to be applied.

With the Advanced Order Processing & Planning Module, MATRIX PRO switches automatically between orders, and customizes and prints private labels when the order has been completed. MATRIX will prioritize orders on the fly to accommodate the flexibility expected by your customers and so you can deliver within the agreed delivery time.
