5.17 Traceability (optional)
5.17.1 Introduction and properties of the traceability archive
Traceability is an identification, recording and labelling system for
products that allows checks to be made throughout the entire production
process (traceability).
Identification and traceability are the main tools used for dealing with
emergency situations (e.g. goods withdrawn from the retail outlet)
without having to destroy all the product regardless.
The current traceability systems conform to the European and national
standard based on international standard UCC/EAN 128.
Thanks to this system, the entire product cycle can be checked right
through to the retail outlet, while the consumer can be given a whole
series of information.
The "traceability" option is sold separately for Mercury Plus
weighing-pricing machines and is only activated in the machines after a
special procedure has been carried out.
Besides the activation procedure, which enables the "traceability"
function in the software, the machine must be programmed with the
information that defines the fields in the archive that the operator can
use, as well as the precompiled tables with the countries, breeds, size,
source, origin, etc. (
note for the installers : consult the "Installer's
Manual" for instructions about how to program the fields).
When a traceability data item is entered in a label, specify that the field
is NOT variable since it is NOT transmitted to the printer each weighing
operation.
There is an option that allows the request to be displayed in the
traceability window on access to the process. This display is bound to
the following
conditions :
✔
The traceability option must be activated.
✔
The aforementioned option must be activated by means of the
TRACE. INPUT ON START" item in the Software Test menu (can
only be accessed by installers).
In the presence of these conditions and if YES has been selected in the
"TRACE. CODE TOT. ENAB." field for the PLU/Process, whenever the
process is accessed, the window requesting traceability will be displayed
