Questions from operators

Food labelling system questions

How approved product and batch information reaches the finished label without losing its source.

Where does the information on a Forkto label come from?

Product details come from the approved recipe, while the current batch code and dates come from production and shelf-life settings.

Can I see which template revision printed a batch?

Yes. The print history keeps the production batch, selected label template revision, printer and operator together.

Can labels include dates and barcodes?

Yes. Approved templates can carry the product name, batch code, calculated date information, storage details and EAN-13 barcode.
