Food Production on Autopilot Reduces Waste
HILLEROD,
Process Analytics(TM) for the dairy, a powerful analytical and process
control solution in a simple-to-integrate form.
XDS Process Analytics(TM) for the dairy helps producers to optimize the
use of valuable raw materials such as fat and protein in the production of a
variety of dairy products, including quark, butter, powder, mozzarella and
whey protein concentrate.
The solution works by using sensors to monitor key stages of the process.
The sensors are connected to a near infrared (NIR) analysis unit that
produces a continuous flow of measurement results. A software system handles
the results and either regulates the process automatically or helps the
production operator to make required adjustments.
Product manager, Ib Haunstrup said: “Automatic control is the future of
dairy production and many producers are already benefiting through savings in
raw materials. Producers can also follow what they have in the process line
at any time – product type, mix of products, CIP reagents, air and so on, so
they always know exactly how the process is performing.”
Simple installation and maintenance
The concept of monitoring and control of dairy processes using NIR
technology is not new, but to date, issues related to calibration and
integration into existing process setups have proven barriers to simple
implementation. With the support of a global FOSS process installation team,
the XDS Process Analytics system is ideal for dairy producers seeking a
simple to implement system without the need for in-house experts and lengthy
installation procedures.
The FOSS process installation team combines expertise in NIR analysis
with in-depth knowledge of dairy engineering.
Expert management over the internet
Users of the system can take the option of allowing FOSS experts to
monitor and maintain the system online using FOSS remote internet analysis
(RINA) software.
FOSS and the dairy industry
For decades FOSS has helped dairies and milk testing laboratories to keep
pace with their analysis demands. Solutions provide analysis and control
throughout the production process, from raw material to finished product and
from routine analysis to at-line and in-line process control.
