Food Manufacturing Conductor™
Food Manufacturing Conductor™ (FMC) is Tamlin’s proprietary process control system designed for small to mid-size food manufacturers. FMC was designed on the production floor by people who know manufacturing. Its simplified and easy to use interface keeps your people productive while getting you the information you need to realize your production goals.
FMC exceeds the U.S. Government’s traceability requirements. What’s more, labor-intensive tracking reports that used to take hours—or even days—are completed in minutes.
