Watsonville Produce Achieves PTI Compliance With PTI Lite
July 17, 2013 | 2 min to read
Santa Clara, CA – Watsonville Produce has implemented RedLine Solutions’ PTI Lite product for the 2013 spinach season. The simple labeling and traceability solution has helped them to achieve PTI compliance while streamlining their processes.
The easy-to-use system prompts a user to choose information including the brand owner, brand, product, source lot, and lot/batch number. It then previews exactly what the case label will look like before it prints. Once a user has imported product and GTIN information, daily case label printing is as easy as a few clicks of a button.
The system also helps eliminate errors and process inefficiencies. The brand owner distinction is particularly useful for companies like Watsonville Produce that pack under multiple brands, eliminating any possible product confusion.
“RedLine Solutions was really great to work with,” explains Jeff Hougham, Plant Manager at Watsonville Produce. “They walked us through every step of installation and made sure that we were compliant and set up in the most efficient way possible.”
Another major benefit to the software is flexibility. Watsonville Produce has set up its printing workstation right outside of production for convenience, but could also choose to print in the field if that became a better fit. Since PTI Lite does not require an internet connection, PTI Lite users can choose to print from either a PC or a notebook, in the office or in the field.
