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.

HAI plays important role in the Engineering Business Intelligence project, part of the Industry 4.0 Innovation Program, lead by Universities and the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology (ISPT).

EBI uses the hai-app software platform for cloud data collection and real-time interactive dashboards for Production, Quality and Energy

Colin Nugteren (data science expert) and Rob Kooijmans food industry expert) partner with HAI in its quest to provide industries with smart software solutions to deliver easy operator tools that have direct impact. Impact on tackling industry challenges like utility consumptions, product quality, production efficiency, wastewater treatment and emissions.

HAI expands its operations in the German-speaking countries.

The HAI software is used to shape the digital transformation in factories across the globe.

HAI has a strong position in semi-process industries, like food/feed, chemicals, biotechnology, pulp- and paper, and textiles.

The American multinational is among the largest food producers in the world. One of their largest production sites is in the Netherlands. There, they recently started using the HAI software to gain more insight into the details of their production processes.
