Food & craft beverage production

Process equipment mapped to the critical control points it delivers, with the facility registrations, alcohol licences, verification reviews and weights-and-measures certifications that lapse on a date.

Ships today as the food-beverage pack, version 1HACCP · FSMA · weights & measures

Document type: Industry pack
Document: ACT-WEB

What the pack gives you on day one.

Process equipment under HACCP, with the facility registrations, alcohol licences, verification reviews and weights-and-measures certifications that lapse on a calendar date. Everything below is seeded into your organisation when you adopt the pack, and every row of it is yours from that moment: rename it, reorder it, delete it, add to it. Upgrading the pack later never overwrites something you have edited.

Assets you put in the register

Thermal processor: Ovens, retorts, pasteurisers and kettles that deliver a validated kill step.
Filler & packer: Filling, capping, seaming and labelling machines.
Chiller & cold store: Refrigeration holding product inside a critical limit.
Tank & vessel: Fermenters, brite tanks, mixing and holding vessels.
Weighing equipment: Scales and checkweighers used in trade, which need a legal verification, not just a calibration.
Measurement probe: Thermometers, pH and gravity meters whose readings support a CCP record.
CIP system: Clean-in-place plant: the chemistry, the timing and the temperatures that are verified.
Metal detection & X-ray: Foreign-body detection running as a CCP with its own test pieces.

Fields your sector needs

Not hardcoded into the product for everyone — defined by the pack, validated on every write, and filterable and exportable like any built-in field.

CCP numberText: The critical control point in the HACCP plan this equipment delivers, if any.
Product contactYes / no: Touches product directly, so cleaning and material certification apply.
Allergen zoneOne of a list: Which segregated zone this equipment belongs to. Moving it between zones is a change, not a relocation.; Free-from · General · Allergen handling
Used for tradeYes / no: Weighing or measuring that determines what a customer pays, which needs a legal verification.
Capacity (litres)Number

Your words, not ours

No screen in the product hardcodes a noun. The pack renames these, and the rest keep the neutral word.

What expires, and how early you hear about it.

These are the real warning ladders, not an illustration. Each one is set from how long that renewal actually takes — a certificate an authority re-inspects opens months ahead, because a thirty-day reminder would already be too late. The first rung is when the work has to start; a final 1 means it stops work the day it lapses.

HACCP plan verification	The scheduled review of the plan itself, which expires whether or not anything changed.	90307days before
Scale certification	Weights-and-measures verification stamp. Trading on a lapsed stamp is an offence, not a finding.	903071days before

Held against

Tag an obligation with the standard it satisfies, and the coverage report counts them — including the ones mapped to no framework at all, which is the number an auditor asks about.

The question the inspection opens on.

“Show me the verification records for this CCP over the last twelve months.”
— what an auditor in this sector asks first

The auditor export answers it in one action: the asset, every obligation on it, every plan, every service event, every filed document and the full change history — assembled in a single consistent read, so no two sections of the file can disagree. Two exports of an unchanged record are byte-for-byte identical.

Append-only history. Every change lands in an event log in the same transaction as the change. No role holds an update or delete grant on that table.
Certificates listed, with their evidence. Documents filed against the obligations and the service events are in the export too — the calibration certificate lives on the service event, and that is the one you will be asked for.
Readable by everyone on the team. Quality, finance and an external auditor given a seat can all run it. The people who most need the export are exactly the ones a viewer role would have blocked.

The dashboard on any Monday morning: what has already lapsed, what lapses this week, and what needs starting now to land on time.

Failed sends

Sample obligations from a fictional organisation, resolved against an observation date the visitor controls. Every row is one record in the register — an obligation, the asset it sits on, and the person accountable for it.

Bring us your food spreadsheet.

The first session is the import: a column mapper, a dry run that shows exactly what will be created, a per-row error report numbered to match your file, and an undo for the whole batch in one action. Getting five hundred rows in on day one is the point, not a later project.
