Whether it’s materials management or tracking and tracing – with our  SIMATIC IT solutions, all elements of production management are optimally linked by dairy-specific components.

All business processes are seamlessly integrated, including arrival of the milk and processing with fruit mixtures, for example, or lab processes to control thickening and quality management. Since milk products are top-quality consumer items, the online connection to the LIMS system also plays a key role in library scenarios. After all, consistency is always the basis for consistent brand management.

With the help of key performance indicators (KPI), all production-relevant parameters, from vat and unit times to efficiency values for individual components, are visualized in such a way that productivity and quality are lastingly increased and the “golden batch” is brought one step closer. Integrated features such as the storage of product and quality data, electronic batch recording and the reporting functions (internal and external) ensure seamless documentation of production.
