By: Dynamic Systems SIMBA (http://dynamic- About McLain Farms McLain Farms is one of the largest producers of sweet onions in the country. After installing and using several other systems that claimed to provide complete traceability and product labeling, Rusty McLain came to Dynamic Systems with a wish list. About SIMBA and McLain The system was configured for McLain to use 3 label printers from one touch-screen on the packing floor. From that screen they are able to print the bin label, the case label or the pallet label. A simple touch of the screen determines the contents of the label and how many to print. SIMBAquickly collects production information- The label (http://dynamic- Another feature allows McLain to have the 3 label printers and touch screen on a mobile cart. The equipment is housed on a rolling cart on the packing floor that can be moved to whichever production line is active. Van Loading At the time of shipping, the Van Loading feature of SIMBA tracks each carton or pallet onto a specific van. A Bill of Lading is then produced automatically. This feature not only saves time in the shipping process, it eliminates disputes with the customer regarding what was actually shipped. Results Key results for McLain from implementing SIMBA include increased production speed; the ability to get real-time, accurate production reports; fulfill traceability requirements; "I've used different systems in the past, and managing inventory and traceability has never been as easy as with SIMBA", Stated Rusty McLain. Dynamic Systems was able to provide a turnkey all inclusive system, including all equipment, labels, training, and installation that is scalable and customizable.
