Royal A-ware looks back on a successful start-up of their new mozzarella/cream plant. This was due to very thorough preparations, also in the domain of digitalization.
“We have set the bar high, and are still reaping the benefits of this every day,” said Ype de Jong, site manager of the brand new factory.
HAI and Simmental Switzerland co-operate to create a digital factory for the Swiss cheese factory in Simmental.
Here, tradition and technology go hand in hand.
This will help the factory team to make data-driven improvements, supported by analytics, trending and reports on production and quality.
The combination of OSI PI System with HAI software has proven to be a great success in practice. In the mozzarella and cream factory of Royal A-ware (Heerenveen), the factory data in the PI System is connected to the smart dashboard software from HAI. Actemium played an important role in the implementation of these systems.
The new cloud software platform collects big data from the dairy supply chain: from farmer to industrial dairy manufacturing. Powered by artificial intelligence techniques, the platform is an innovative breakthrough to provide new insights to dairy cooperations, manufacturers, branche associations and food safety institutes.
Operations Manager Arie van Aalst had everything running smoothly in his brand new dairy factory. Or so he thought. Until that one day in spring, when everything was turned upside down by an outbreak of Salmonella. Months later, when the factory was allowed to restart, he had learned a valuable lesson. The canary in the coal mine had definitely sent a signal… So why did this remain undetected?

Scanning in the factory proves to be a fantastic solution for reliable factory information
The photo is not about a box being held at gunpoint. You see an operator scanning barcodes on the box. In the past, operators had to record all codes manually on lists. That was time consuming with a high risk of errors. At this plant, they are glad they made the move to scanning. “Nobody wants to go back to the forms of the past,” says the team leader. “It’s important that I can now quickly find out exactly what happened in production. And that I can rely on it,” adds the Quality Manager.
Digital batch reports provide significant benefits: it’s faster, simpler, more complete and more reliable. But how do you make this happen?
Batch reports become more and more important in the food industry. After all, it includes an overview of all quality control records, production checks, and production data of a batch.
Many food manufacturers still work with paper-based records or pdf files to record their quality tests and production checks. This means that batch release and complaint investigations require a lot of manual work.
