Understanding and Creating Products

A Product is any material used in a Work Order to create a mix. This includes liquids, dry materials, fertilizers, and carriers (like water). Every product requires a defined density to ensure the system measures it accurately.


Creating a New Product

To add a new product to your inventory, navigate to the Products overview page and press the blue "+" button in the lower right corner.

Basic Product Info

  • Product Name*: The name that appears when selecting products for a Work Order.

  • Physical Form: Choose between Liquid or Dry.

    Note: If you select Dry, the density is automatically set to 1.0 Specific Gravity.

  • Density and Density Rate*: The numerical value and units (e.g., lbs/gal) that define the product's weight-to-volume ratio.

  • Regulatory Number: A field for tracking EPA numbers or other official identifiers.


Mixing and Rinse Settings

FieldDescription
Prefill (Dry Only)Defines the amount of water used to prefill the inductor before adding dry product.
Rinse Amount*The default volume of carrier used to flush the lines after this product is added. Note: For products used as Carriers, the rinse amount is typically set to 0.
Default RateThe standard usage rate (e.g., Fluid Ounces/Acre). Setting this here saves time when adding the product to a new Work Order.
Display UnitThe specific unit of measurement you want the operator to see on the screen during the mixing process.

Pro Tip for Dry Products: When using a Mixmate inductor, a prefill range of 1 to 5 gallons is recommended. A smaller number creates a more aggressive flow, which helps ingest difficult-to-dissolve dry products.


Inventory Tracking

Mixmate includes a simple inventory countdown feature to help you track your stock levels.

  • Container Size and Unit: Define how you receive the product (e.g., 2.5 Gallon jugs or 250 Gallon totes).

  • Current Inventory: Enter your total stock in container units. Mixmate will subtract the amount used after each mix and update this value automatically.

    • Example: If you have ten 2.5-gallon jugs and want to track the total volume, your inventory is "25" (total gallons).
