Your Challenges in the Food Industry
In the food industry, production safety, hygiene requirements, and logistical efficiency must work together seamlessly. At the same time, the high number of external visitors and delivery vehicles makes clear and traceable management difficult.
- Significant coordination effort required when dealing with third-party companies and external service providers
- Lack of transparency regarding who was on the premises and when
- High truck traffic with congestion and wait times in plant traffic
- Strict hygiene and safety regulations in the production environment
- Requirements from standards such as IFS Food and the implementation of a food defense plan
Here’s how VISIT supports you in terms of quality, safety, and efficiency
How Zott, the gourmet dairy, benefits from VISIT
The Zott dairy welcomes around 600 visitors and approximately 2,000 trucks per month at its Mertingen location alone.
Since the facility is certified to the IFS Food Standard, there are strict requirements regarding product protection, visitor management, and access control.
The Challenge
Visitors and suppliers were tracked through a local security system provided by an external service provider.
The construction of the new reception building and the reorganization of the plant grounds necessitated new processes.
THE SOLUTION
Implementation of VISIT, including
- central server installation
- cross-location use
- visitor counts available at the touch of a button
- self-service registration
- safety briefing
- visitor badges featuring Zott’s corporate design
The Result
- The reception desk’s workload has been reduced, as unscheduled visits are now handled through the system.
- Centralized data availability provides a real-time overview of the number and location of non-employees at all times—even in emergency situations.
- Zott can now manage its visitor traffic efficiently, with full documentation, and in a manner that is audit-ready.
