High Expectations, Demanding Operations
You’re expected to maximize output, minimize downtime, and run lean — while optimizing yield and product quality consistency.
The Dairy Industry is challenging. Complying with strict food safety regulations and dealing with varying milk fat and protein content.
Whether you produce cheese, milk powder, infant nutrition, whey products, yoghurt, desserts, or any type of fresh or long-life milk, process settings must be continuously adapted to seasonal milk composition to ensure standardized quality. And any deviation must be corrected immediately.
HAI provides analyses to define optimal process conditions based on seasonal milk composition. It monitors protein/fat balance and ltr/kg conversions throughout all production process steps. It supports operators in real-time to monitor quality and processing conditions, identifying anomalies in real-time.

“HAI developed a dashboard that maps the entire production process, predicts yield and quality, and advises operators in real-time on process anomalies. This helps our cheese makers optimize yield and quality at every step.”
Quote from a process technologist
Data-Driven Process Control
- Full visibility
from raw milk composition to end-product performance. - Real-time monitoring
track yield, energy, protein–fat balance, and batch cost. - Consistent quality
ensure output meets specs every time. - Total traceability
link every batch to its source and process history. - Smarter sustainability
reduce waste, monitor energy/water consumption, and waste water treatment.
HAI: From Data to Decisions
HAI brings clarity to complexity. The software collects and analyzes all critical process and quality data, delivering:
- Real-time dashboards, trends, and early warnings for operators (moisture content, weights, microbiology)
- AI-powered insights, reports, and deep analytics for production and quality teams (predictions on moisture content, weights, etc.).
- Faster, more consistent batch release
- Continuous improvement through troubleshooting and optimization (of quality and yield)
With HAI, you gain full control of your process—turning data into action and performance into profit.
“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.”
Quote from Randel Veerits, Plant Director E-Piim
Your benefits

instant access to all quality and process data; no more searching through SCADA, ERP, Excel, or lab systems. - Real-time dashboards
instantly detect deviations and ensure compliance. - Fewer rejected batches
improve yield and reduce waste. - Consistent product quality
every batch, every time.
- Optimized process settings
enable faster, more stable production. - Maximum performance
increase uptime, speed, and OEE.
- Smarter operations
reduce energy and water use while optimizing CIP and maintenance. - Deep process insight
track every step: milk reception and standardization,pasteurizer, homogenizer, cheese production, premix, blending, tanks, drying, cream-line, filling/packing, etc.
What you’ll have
- Centralize all production and quality data in one real-time operational datastore
- HAI integrates seamlessly with PLC/SCADA, Historians, ERP systems (e.g. SAP, Infor, Microsoft, Oracle), LIMS, in-line inspection equipment such as weighing scales, vision systems, metal detectors, and analytical instruments like Milkoscan, Foodscan, Charm test, etc.
- Operator quality control checks
- Start-up and cleaning checklists
- QA inspections & Product Quality tests (e.g., organoleptic tests, visual inspections)
Replace Excel-based lab and production logs with intuitive data-entry screens directly in the HAI Platform.
- Interactive real-time logsheets combining production-, lab-, equipment-, and operator-data
- Compliance dashboards for process parameters, energy/water consumption, and quality standards
- Real-time trending, SPC, and correlation tools for early warnings, root-cause analysis and batch evaluation
- Real-time KPIs (e.g., OEE, First Time Right), yield, mass balance, runtimes, downtime, cost per batch
- Predictive analytics on end-product quality
- Comprehensive tracking & tracing, exception reporting, and cost validation tools
Simply available in the Cloud …. No capital investment …. Subscription-based.
