The reason why
Traceability of knives – why is it important, anyway?
The traceability of knives and tools in production is crucial for safety in food production and product quality. More and more certification bodies are incorporating these requirements into their standards. With the Equipment Check, you can track and monitor knives and tools in your business quickly, easily and without the need for additional hardware. Please feel free to contact our sales team if you have any queries or would like a trial offer.
Food safety
Naturally, tools or parts of them must not end up in the products during the manufacturing process, as this would pose a risk to consumers. Thanks to the app, it is possible to ensure that all knives introduced into the process are removed again.
Compliance with hygiene regulations
In addition to tracking, the status of the knives and tools used can also be maintained and checked. This allows conclusions to be drawn regarding cleaning frequencies, service life and any errors in use. In this way, you can improve operational safety and ensure appropriate hygiene standards in production.
Prevention of production errors
Knowing which tools are used in which production processes, and which staff member uses which knives or tools, can lead to a significant reduction in production errors. High rates of damage or loss highlight the need for staff training.
Compliance with standards
Food certifications, such as the IFS Food Standard, require compliance with specific criteria. Alongside many other food safety criteria, this includes the tracking of knives and tools during production. In other words, no tracking means no certification.

The dashboard
The dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of blades and sets – which blades and blade baskets are currently in use? Furthermore, this view provides the ideal starting point for managing your staff’s tool status and tool handover processes: thanks to a flexible roles and permissions system, you can determine who has access and is authorised to make changes.

How it works
Check knives and knife baskets in or out
Scan the Data Matrix code on a knife or knife basket to assign it to an employee, a group or a department. When checking out the equipment, the condition of the blades can be updated straight away – whether they are ready for use, need sharpening, cleaning or replacing. This allows you to keep track of your equipment at all times.
