Bettinehoeve and Emmi Nutritional Solutions (ENS) have expeditiously tackled the digitalization of their laboratory in their factories in Etten-Leur. The factories process raw goat’s milk into cheese, powder, protein concentrate and fresh milk. They chose the HAI Platform in the Microsoft Azure Cloud.
HAI experts have crafted a robust Manufacturing Insights tool designed for advanced statistical process monitoring and predictive modeling. The AI model that optimizes quality, yield and energy consumption is an award-winning project.
The AI tool has been seamlessly integrated into the daily operator routine.
In the Dutch Lamb Weston French Fries Plant of Oosterbierum data-driven production is no longer a theoretical concept.
The HAI Cloud Platform provides intelligent factory dashboards and can even deliver AI-based applications: “This helps us to quickly see if we are operating WELL and also to understand WHY”.
The brand-new dairy factory of E-Piim in Estonia has produced its very first Cheddar cheese, and HAI was part of the action.
Randel Veerits, Plant Director: “We discovered that HAI’s software is used by most major dairy producers as an information system for their factories. Their hands-on experience has proven very valuable, also during the startup.”
Gartner, one of the world’s leading IT advisory firms, is clear about it: Embrace the Cloud, they say, even for business-critical applications. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks. This aligns with the trend of a growing number of factories using the cloud to process operational factory data in real-time, just like the new hai-app platform from HAI on the MS Azure Cloud.
Alexander Daehne, Manufacturing Industry Lead EMEA at SAS, presented the winning SAS Hackaton project by Team HAI-Notilyze during the 2023 SAS Innovate on Tour event in June in Amsterdam.
The project shows how data science can help food manufacturers improve yield and quality, while reducing costs and food waste.
HAI, together with data science specialist Notilyze, won the SAS Hackathon competition of 2023 in the Manufacturing category.
The winning case is a smart model that focuses on further optimizing the industrial production of cheese.
For the data analysis, a whopping two years’ worth of historical data from hai-app, HAI’s cloud platform, was utilized.
Industry can save 20-30% on energy consumption. This represents savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
How? Simply by working smarter!
The collaboration between energy-IO and HAI gives manufacturers detailed insight into their energy consumption in relation to all relevant information from the production process.
The process industry cannot make their existing process installations sustainable overnight.
The transformation to more sustainable production takes years and requires substantial investments.
“Process monitoring and data analysis, however, can be started right away”, says Peter.
With amazing results …
Team Notilyze/HAI has won the SAS Hackaton with a Manufacturing Insights tool for statistical analysis and predictive modelling.
The tool provides insight in managing energy consumption and helps to optimize production processes.
The tool is applied to data from a distillation process in a Dutch factory.
