Matrix starts by eliminating ingredient losses and bad batches. The ability to identify and reduce inventory losses, and an accounting of finished product and availability is just the start. As for Bioterrorism, we provide you with FDA reviewed compliant batch and ingredient lot Traceability or Tracking. We hope our customers understand that we will protect you, and you will protect us. Traceability or Tracking of deliveries with a tie in to accounting is a very good option, and with confidence in orders received on time, and consistent quality with process automation, look forward to new orders and new customers. We also provide PLC control systems for production line to plant-wide automation, and continuous and batch mixing systems used in bulk material handling applications.
Whether your industry is food, baking or beverage, look forward to a substantial reduction in downtime through our preventative maintenance and machine failure diagnostic software. The significance of an-line reporting, business simulations and the ability to drill down into report details, offers a major competitive edge - we can provide it. Matrix can account for operator adjustments, and successfully launch, bar code and track orders. Nutritional analysis and costing, and FDA approved nutritional labels rounds out the package.
Certainly, upon review of our products, pleases fill out our Needs Analysis Form, and Matrix looks forward to working with you.
The design of PlantQuest-LT provides a powerful, real-time combination of quality and management control systems (PRIMS), Automated Production Scheduling, and Business and Production Intelligence.
This ingredient, production and recipe control system is defined as PRIMS (Food Batching System Software). With PRIMS, be prepared for total FDA reviewed lot Traceability or Tracking, the elimination of operator errors, and the ability to receive a perfect batch every time. How does the ability to create formulations and production schedules for mixers, and the ability to send them to the ingredient system PLCs sound? Even the batching is automated, and scaling deviations and ingredient usages are recorded. Computerized scaling systems are integrated with PRIMS, and maintain the operator to perform within allowable tolerances. That means the next step is not performed until the terminal screen reads “proceed” when the weigh-in is complete. The mentality of “Over scaling is better than under scaling” is eliminated. Over scaling has been found to be as much as 5%, leaving the PRIMS system to provide rapid R.O.I.s and impressive increased annual profits. Those calculations do not even include PRIMS production of perfect recipe consistency.
Phase two of the PlantQuest-LT triad, integrates our Automated Production Scheduling, with the PRIMS system. The combination ensures that production is on time, allowing orders and delivery to be on time. Industry historical knowledge that loss of profits resulting from stored product of less than 2%, or over 8% is solved through PlantQuest-LT. Not only will warehousing of completed product be controlled within this range, but PlantQuest will aid you in determining the exact amount of stored product to maximize profits. Our optional routing software will even make this determination more accurate.
Phase three of PlantQuest-LT, Business and Production Intelligence, completes the package, and brings production control full circle.
Business Intelligence introduces the term Dash Board, a technology allowing on-line reporting with the ability to drill down into the details on any given report, and export the information to other applications such as Excel. The package goes beyond historical data analysis (information from today and yesterday), and takes you to tomorrow, allowing business simulations to be created from your company’s history.

Reduction in downtime has never looked so good, and neither has increased productivity and less havoc on the plant floor. Our products have produced the same benefits in other industries, as they do in the Food and Beverage Industry. Our customers have repeatedly told us that our systems provide for smoother operation on the plant floor. This translates to reduction in turnover of personnel, and has always been a pleasant and profitable surprise, in addition to all of the other savings produced by our products. COGZ, Maintenance Management Software, was designed specifically for bakeries, food and beverage plants. It automates PM schedules and work orders, and handles inventory and purchasing. It will reduce your downtime, control your costs and minimize work interruptions. With Business and Production Intelligence, Dash Board drill-down capabilities take management into those COGZ reports. Analysis of yesterday, today and tomorrow will give you the competitive edge.

Diagnostics and Internet Drill Down
Monitor all your plant’s equipment in real time with one diagnostic system—PlantQuest-AI. The power of Pro-MACS, in combination with Business and Production Intelligence, provides predictive failure alarming, and production rate and efficiency reporting automatically. Drill-down abilities take that reporting one step further. Imagine the affected machine and part displayed in recognizable 3-D graphics, reducing location time to a minimum, as well as repair time. Imagine voice annunciation announcing failures and imagine the ability to store learned diagnostic information of the entire plant. Coupled with PlantQuest-PM, the words down time will become unrecognizable. Further combined with PlantQuest-LT, the words quality control and production management control will become very recognizable; “Total Control” will become the more appropriate term.

The Margin Meter was developed for the Food Industry to monitor and provide quality control for casings, and has been extremely profitable for sausage manufacturers. Here it has significantly reduced waste of ingredients and time, thereby increasing efficiency. With the casing size and fill ingredients uniform throughout the production process, recipe flavor remains constant, ensuring the integrity of the product, and repeat and new customers. With the Margin Meter, quality control is instilled upon measurements exceeding a threshold, as relay contacts are energized to control the gross inflation of the casing. Additionally the Margin Meter has found applications in packaging and other industries as well.
