FIBC and jumbo bag ERP software

An FIBC order is defined by its design: body construction such as U-panel, four-panel or circular, dimensions, fabric GSM and coating, loop type and length, top and bottom spouts or flaps, liner, baffles, documents pouch and the safe working load (SWL) with its safety factor. Where the customer needs it, the design also records the electrostatic type (A, B, C or D) and any food-contact or UN requirements.

In Formezy each design is a master record. The cutting plan, material requirement, stitching instructions and test parameters all come from it, so the shop floor builds what was sold.

Fabric rolls are numbered as they come off the loom, with width, GSM and weight. Coating is booked roll by roll with its coating weight and compound consumption. Panels are cut against the design, and offcuts are booked so fabric used per bag is known.

• Roll-wise fabric stock by GSM, width, coating and colour
• Panels, loops, spouts and liners prepared against each order
• Bags stitched counted per operator and stitching line per shift
• Thread, webbing and liners consumed per bag

Safe working load, safety factor and top-lift test results are stored against the bag design and the production lot, together with dimension, loop and stitching checks. Lots can be held until results are entered, and the documents are printed or emailed with the dispatch, so a customer asking about a specific lot gets an answer from the record, not from a file cabinet.

Waste is booked where it happens: tape start-up, weaving, coating, cutting and stitching. Regrind returns to stock for later recipes. Because resin, coating, webbing, thread, liners and labour are booked against the order, cost per bag comes from actual consumption.

At the end of the line, bags are cleaned, folded and baled with labels that carry the design, SWL and lot. The packing list, invoice and e-way bill come from the same record.

Formezy handles the full range of FIBC constructions and options as part of each design, so orders, cutting plans and test records always match the bag being made.

• Body construction: U-panel, four-panel, circular (tubular) and baffle bags
• Loops: cross-corner, side-seam and other loop styles with their lengths
• Filling and discharge: spouts, duffle tops and flat bottoms
• Liners, coatings, document pouches and labels
• Safe working load, safety factor and electrostatic type
