Feed Management Systems launches updated feed formulation programme
Feed Management Systems, Inc (FMS), a software developer for the animal feed and nutrition industry, has launched an updated version of feed formulation software, Brill？ Formulation, which includes 30 new capabilities to help improve production efficiency, ingredient purchases, and formulation accuracy, thus reducing costs and increasing profitability.
According to the company, the recent features are developed based on feedback received by feed manufacturers. Augmented with additional data management capabilities and safeguard features which prevent input errors, the current Brill？ Formulation 2.5 allows users to key in inputs and longer nutrient names for better search; handle a higher capacity for stored formula comments which is increased by 50 lines; edit plant codes more easily, delete a nutrient from all ingredients; and draw comparison between new and stored formulas. Users are also able to set precise adjustments to production minimal values to as low as 0.1% of batch weight, a feature which can save time and cost.
In addition to the upgrades, data is now exportable in table formats and pellet creation record can be copied with the formula specification.
Brill Formulation was first designed to serve as a high-end solution for feed formulation management, with two products, Single Blend and Multi-Blend, derived from its concept. Supported by a team of experienced feed industry professionals, the system is delivered in three different packages for varied degrees of demand, namely the ActivAtors for basic needs, the BizBuilders for expanding businesses, and CommandCenters for larger businesses.
