Formix
Formix 2 is a powerful recipe management system that integrates with FOPS6/8 to control the further processing function. With the combination of FOPS6/8 and FORMIX you can trace the product flow through the formulation and packing process.

FORMIX 2 Standard features :
- Standalone operation - everything is contained within the TS6000
- Network operation - UTP connections to Netware or NT servers Client to Client operation - so that terminals can “share” recipe orders.
- Open system database - Data is held in a format that is accessible by many ODBC compliant applications
- Multiple load units - Connect up to 4 load units (scales) into a single terminal Multiple, Single and User defined batching
- Modes - mix sub-assemblies or make-up batches of single ingredients. Unique “shadow” filling display to increase throughput and accuracy.
- Top up filling - start with sub-assembly weighing and add to make up the recipe. Real-time recipe updating - no data downloading.
- Recipe sharing - multiple terminals can work on the same recipe at the same time.
- Transactional - records EVERY weighing, not sub-totals
- Traceable - records Lot and batch numbers that are assigned to ingredients, records user identification codes.
- Scheduling - Program Recipe “orders” and plan how they are to be used “Flexipick” - system to allow operators to move around within recipes and orders, suspending and resuming complex product formulations.
- Reports - Standard reports for all data files, recipe performance, ingredient usage, throughput, costs. All reports can be produced by using a macro editor contained within the product to define report parameters.
- Connect - to existing load units and scales.
User access - programmable user access codes restrict functions available to a given operator.
