Abstract: An exemplary embodiment is a method and system for electronic recycle inventory tracking corresponding to a product on a production line. The system includes a processor integrated with the production line for identifying the product, determining whether the product is rejected, assigning a first destination to the product if the product is not rejected and generating tracking data based on the first destination, determining whether the product is to be recycled based on determining whether the product is rejected and assigning a second destination to the product based on said determining whether the product is to be recycled and generating tracking data based on the second destination. A network is connected to the processor, and a user system is coupled to the network. A database is coupled to the processor for storing data relating to the product.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment is a method and system for using electronic raw material and formula verification for a product on a production line. The system includes a processor integrated with the production line for obtaining production line data, raw material data and formula data for a product produced by the production line, generating an electronic production schedule for the product, generating an electronic production run sheet including the production line data, the raw material data and the formula data for the product, receiving a product selection from the electronic production schedule, receiving a quantity selection for the product from the electronic production schedule and downloading the raw material data and the formula data to production line equipment. A network is connected to the processor, and a user system is coupled to the network for accessing the electronic production run sheet. A database is coupled to the processor for storing data relating to the production line.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment is a method and system for using electronic downloadable control plans. The electronic downloadable control plans contain production line equipment settings corresponding to a product on a production line. The system includes a processor integrated with the production line for obtaining production line data for a product produced by the production line, generating an electronic production schedule for the product, generating an electronic production run sheet including the production line data for the product, receiving a product selection from the electronic production schedule, obtaining the electronic downloadable control plan corresponding to the product and downloading the production line equipment settings to production line equipment. A network is connected to the processor, and a user system is coupled to the network for accessing the electronic downloadable control plan. A database is coupled to the processor for storing data relating to the production line.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment is a method and system for electronic raw material tracking and quality control. The system includes a processor integrated with the production line for receiving inventory data corresponding to raw material for the product, generating an electronic production schedule for the product, generating an electronic production run sheet including the inventory data, receiving a product selection from the electronic production schedule, receiving a quantity selection for the product from the electronic production schedule, downloading data from the electronic production schedule to the electronic production run sheet and determining whether the raw material is acceptable for the product in the quantity based on the inventory data. A network is connected to the processor, and a user system is coupled to the network for accessing the electronic production schedule and the electronic production run sheet. A database is coupled to the processor for storing data relating to the production line.

Abstract: An exemplary embodiment is a method and system for electronic tracking of packaging corresponding to a product in a package on a production line. The system includes a processor integrated with the production line for identifying the product in the package, determining whether the product in the package has production history data, determining a first disposition of the product in the package based on the production history data, determining whether the product in the package is discrepant based on the first disposition, assigning a destination for the product in the package if the product in the package is not discrepant and generating tracking data based on the destination and assigning a second disposition for the product in the package if the product in the package is discrepant and generating tracking data based on the second disposition. A network is connected to the processor, and a user system is coupled to the network.
