Quality for Food & Beverage
In food production, batch/lot traceability, shelf-life and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable; every function must be able to show the chain end to end at the moment of a recall. Continuous monitoring and assurance at every stage of production. Incoming, in-process and final quality checks, quality plans, conditional approval, device and calibration management — fully integrated with the production, warehouse and purchasing modules.
Food & Beverage context
Why Quality works differently in Food & Beverage
In Food & Beverage, food production center on sector-specific concepts such as batch/lot traceability, shelf-life, recipe and blending. In food production, batch/lot traceability, shelf-life and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable; every function must be able to show the chain end to end at the moment of a recall.
Qera ERP's Quality module is set up around the reality of food & beverage: Documents food safety and regulatory compliance with raw-material acceptance, in-process and pre-shipment sampling records.
- Without batch/lot-level traceability, identifying affected products quickly in a recall becomes impossible.
- When shelf life and expiry dates aren't tracked, products nearing expiry turn into waste.
- When recipes and scrap rates aren't calculated clearly, the true product cost is unknown.
Capabilities
How Qera Quality works in Food & Beverage
The core capabilities of the Quality module, framed for the lot, batch and shelf-life needs of the food & beverage sector.
Staged quality control
Inspect quality at every stage from raw-material acceptance to shipment with incoming, in-process and final quality control tasks.
Quality control stock

Create plans specific to a product and process; standardize which tests are applied, tolerance values and procedures.
Quality card and conditional approval
Create quality cards for detected issues including problem definition, cause, corrective action and owner; manage borderline cases with a conditional approval mechanism.
Device and calibration management
Define measuring devices and their categories; track calibration schedules and receive automatic alerts for devices nearing their due date.
Quality reports and dynamic analysis
Analyze incoming-in-process-final control results; combine quality data with production data to identify the station or shift source of an issue.
