2 Base Improvements to database maintenance The database maintenance module is now able to automatically rebuild indexes and update statistics for tables. This new functionality can be controlled by two new columns on the database maintenance form (see below). The database indexes form now allows the system administrator to monitor the progress of indexes and statistics as they are being rebuilt and updated. The indexes for each table are automatically populated when maintenance is run on the table, as in the figure below. The module also allows you to clean up old orders, purchase orders and lots by marking them inactive (see example below). 2

3 Checkweighing Additional production reports The Checkweighing module now produces additional reports that show production results per shift and per hour: A sample report of results per shift A sample report of results per hour Grading More support for combined batches and mixed products You can now combine different product types in the same batch when using Marel A600 graders. Innova can help you to configure which product types, counts and grades should be combined in the same batch. This allows you to create a great variety of product batches to better fulfill your customers requirements. An example of a program with combined batches 3

4 Trimming Active time can now be based on employee login In the trimming module, a new option allows you to base active time measurements on whether a station is occupied or not. When this new option is selected, a station is considered active when an employee logs on to it. The total active time will then reflect the amount of time that the station was manned. This feature allows you to record the total amount of time an operator stays on a particular station, factoring in breaks and other settings defined in the day profile.

8 Solutions Improved box-sorting control The box-sorting solution now allows a unit to be routed through multiple junctions and box sorters before it reaches its final destination. Sorting programs are now used to find the destination gate for a unit based on product, product type or customer.
