Process control technology for the milk industry

More safety and efficiency for mixing and dosing processes.

The increasing number of seasonal products and traceability of batches call for customised and scalable solutions. We are a sought-after, industry-experienced partner for end-to-end automation of recipe-controlled processes in the dairy industry. These include batch-oriented or continuous procedures and cleaning. For us, material management, production data acquisition, overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) or energy management, are a self-evident part of our solutions.

Receiving and operations

Supplier, quality and laboratory data, as well as milk quantities must be linked and submitted to company management. A tailor-made process control system ensures compliance with hygiene regulations and guarantees maximum process stability. After all, huge quantities of sensitive raw materials must continuously be passed on to the downstream processing steps.
