    The benefits

    Set recipes on a data basis

    Production recipes are defined from real material quality data, not assumptions.

    Detect deviations instantly

    Recipe execution is monitored 24/7 in real time. Belt feeders receive direct instructions in the forklift when deviations occur.

    Prevent drift

    Gradual deviations are detected and corrected early, before they affect production quality.

    From plan to production

    Plan recipes and send them straight to production in one system.

    Catch deviations before they cost money

    Frequently asked questions

    What does UpCircle™ RecipeControl do?

    It lets you define production recipes from real material quality data, send them to production and monitor their execution 24/7, with alerts on costly deviations.

    How are deviations communicated?

    Belt feeders receive direct instructions in the forklift, and gradual drift is reported early so it can be corrected before it affects production quality.

    Which data does RecipeControl need?

    Material quality data captured by the platform, for example on the intake conveyor with UpCircle™ Station and MaterialFlow. With UpCircle™ Connect, planning data and bills of materials can be exchanged with your planning tool, ERP and process control system.

    Is RecipeControl a standalone product?

    It is an add-on to the UpCircle™ Platform.
