Haposoft and AFCHEM Complete Quality Control Data Automation in Compliance with FSSC 22000 Version 6.0
Haposoft and Asia Food Chemical Joint Stock Company (AFCHEM) have officially completed their collaboration on automating and visualizing quality control data for the blending systems used in Jelly powder and Jelly soft candy production. This project marks a significant step forward in AFCHEM's journey toward digitizing its quality management operations. It also plays a key role in helping the company meet the requirements of the FSSC 22000 version 6.0 standard. The newly implemented system is designed to automatically record and visualize quality data, replacing certain manual documentation processes. Information is updated directly onto the platform, which supports monitoring and evaluation under FSSC 22000 version 6.0 — a GFSI-recognized food safety certification program. The system is being assessed by SGS, an international independent certification and inspection body. Successfully Completing the Quality Control Data Automation Phase In the initial phase of the project, Haposoft successfully deployed an automated and visual data management system for AFCHEM's blending lines producing Jelly powder and Jelly soft candy. The solution was built to digitize the data recording process, allowing quality parameters to be uploaded directly to the system instead of relying on manual note-taking. This foundation is critical for helping the company improve data management efficiency while also strengthening its ability to comply with FSSC 22000 version 6.0 requirements. The system enables centralized data storage, visual display, and easy access for monitoring, evaluation, and traceability purposes. Automating the recording process not only minimizes errors associated with manual data entry but also reduces the time needed to compile information across departments. As a result, the quality team can quickly access data and establish more consistent control procedures throughout production. What Improvements Does the System Bring to AFCHEM? Completing this automation and visualization initiative does more than just digitize AFCHEM's quality control processes — it introduces noticeable changes to daily operations. Data is now collected, updated, and managed on a single platform, which reduces manual tasks, improves accuracy, and strengthens oversight across the production cycle. This also serves as an important stepping stone for AFCHEM as it builds a modern quality management framework capable of meeting the food industry's growing demands. Reducing Reliance on Manual Data Recording Previously, quality data was recorded primarily through manual input, which made information compilation and verification both time-consuming and labor-intensive. This approach also carried inherent risks of errors, especially when data passed through multiple steps or came from various sources in high-precision production environments. These challenges not only increased the workload for operating teams but also slowed down response times when quality issues arose. With the system deployed by Haposoft, data from the blending process is now fed directly into the management platform. This significantly reduces dependence on manual recording methods. Automating the data capture process helps minimize entry errors while speeding up the compilation, storage, and processing of information. Consequently, AFCHEM can standardize data management across departments and ensure greater consistency in quality control activities. Enhanced Monitoring and Quality Control Capabilities Beyond automating data capture, the system also visualizes key quality metrics on a unified dashboard, making it easier for management teams to monitor operational status in real time. Important data is displayed centrally rather than scattered across multiple forms or documents, simplifying oversight and assessment. This transparency makes quality control more effective at every stage of production. Quick access to data also allows AFCHEM to detect abnormal parameters early and take corrective action before they impact final product quality. Management teams gain a stronger basis for making decisions grounded in actual data rather than relying on post-production summary reports. This is one of the most significant advantages of applying technology to quality management in a manufacturing setting. Strengthening Traceability and FSSC 22000 Version 6.0 Compliance One of the core requirements of modern quality management systems is the ability to store and retrieve data completely, transparently, and consistently. With the new system, all quality control data is stored centrally and can be accessed whenever needed. This makes it easier for AFCHEM to conduct inspections, evaluations, and information verification — ultimately enhancing transparency throughout the quality management process. In addition to supporting data traceability, the system provides a solid foundation for meeting FSSC 22000 version 6.0 requirements. Data is now recorded fully, accurately, and continuously, which strengthens the company's management capabilities, improves compliance, and ensures readiness for periodic audits. This is also a key factor in helping AFCHEM enhance its competitive position and respond more effectively to partner expectations and export market demands. Expanding Collaboration with IoT Solutions for Wastewater Treatment Following the completion of the quality control data automation phase, Haposoft and AFCHEM will move forward with the next stage: implementing an IoT solution for the wastewater treatment system. This expansion applies technology to environmental monitoring and gradually completes the digital management ecosystem within production operations. The project also reflects the long-term collaboration strategy between the two companies in building technology-driven solutions for business operations. Automating Environmental Data Monitoring and Recording In this next phase, Haposoft will deploy an Internet of Things (IoT) solution to connect the wastewater treatment system with sensors and monitoring devices. Operational parameters will be collected and automatically updated to the platform, replacing manual recording methods and ensuring continuous data capture throughout the process. Digitizing this workflow not only improves data accuracy but also saves time for monitoring and management teams. Once collected, the data will be displayed visually on the system, making it easy for operators to track critical metrics and quickly identify unusual fluctuations. Instead of spending time gathering information from multiple sources, the company can proactively monitor the status of the wastewater treatment system through real-time updates. This provides a strong foundation for enhancing oversight and optimizing environmental management processes. Strengthening Control and Compliance Capabilities Beyond improving monitoring efficiency, the IoT solution also helps AFCHEM strengthen control over environment-related activities. With data being fully recorded and stored centrally, the company can conduct inspections, cross-references, and assessments more easily when needed. Management also gains a stronger basis for operational decisions based on real data rather than manually compiled reports. This represents an important step in AFCHEM's overall digital transformation roadmap, moving toward a transparent, modern management system that meets compliance standards. Expanding technology applications from quality management to environmental monitoring demonstrates the company's commitment to sustainable development. It also creates a strong foundation for continued operational improvements in the future. Haposoft's Commitment to Supporting Businesses on Their Digital Transformation Journey The successful completion of the quality control data automation project, along with the upcoming IoT deployment for wastewater treatment, marks significant progress in AFCHEM's digital transformation. Beyond improving quality and environmental management, this initiative highlights technology's role in building transparent, accurate, and data-driven operational systems. It also strengthens the company's ability to meet international standards and stay competitive in the food industry.
