From consulting to landing, Schneider Electric empowers the digital transformation of dairy enterprises

As a global expert in digital transformation in the field of energy management and automation, Schneider Electric has rich industry experience and practical cases in the dairy industry, and can provide customers with integrated green intelligent manufacturing solutions from consulting to implementation, helping enterprises to move towards a sustainable future dairy industry:

Generate a blueprint for the digital construction of dairy customers’ plants, provide enterprise-level digital transformation planning consulting services tailored to each company’s characteristics, and cover the supply chain, through production, to energy management and other operational consulting services;
According to the top-level plan, Schneider Electric can provide digital system architecture design, provide guidance on integrated delivery and operation services, and help customers complete the construction and development of digital manufacturing systems and operations management systems.
In order to achieve continuous optimization, Schneider Electric can provide data analysis services based on big data and AI to optimize engineering design, production operation and business management and other processes to ensure sustainable smart production;
Finally, the components of automated production lines or equipment provided by Schneider Electric, as well as Schneider Electric’s intelligent power distribution system and building control system, can help dairy enterprises achieve smart production + green production.

At the implementation level, through Schneider Electric’s solutions at the equipment level, production line level, factory level and group level, dairy enterprises can achieve data connectivity between various levels within the enterprise, between the enterprise and the upstream and downstream, and achieve integrated management.

In the production line level production control layer, most dairy enterprises have basically realized the automatic production and the basic application of digitalization, in the in-depth application of digitalization, most enterprises are still in the exploratory period. Compared with other industries, the process granularity of dairy products is finer. For example, in formula management, there are relevant standards for the content of various nutrients, which requires dairy companies to conduct more detailed control in the process. Based on this feature, Schneider Electric can provide AVEVA Intouch (formerly Wonderware) software. Help customers with operational visualization, operations and process control, compliance and quality control, line and equipment performance management, and maintenance and uptime improvement. Out of 45 of the world’s top food and beverage manufacturing facilities, 22 use AVEVA Intouch to help improve their production operations. In addition, at this level, with Schneider Electric’s Advanced Process Control (AVEVA APC), real-time Online optimization (AVEVA RTO), SCADA and other systems, dairy companies can further improve the operational smoothness and efficiency of production equipment.

In the plant construction stage, dairy companies have begun to try to apply the factory digital platform. With Schneider Electric AVEVA AIM’s complete and proven digital modeling and delivery solutions, dairy plants can be digitally designed during the construction phase, creating a digital “twin” of a physical plant. After deploying the platform, a well-known dairy company realized the effective integration of static and dynamic information, which can quickly, simply and intuitively view and query the information of the whole plant, providing data base support for the decision support of capital projects and operating assets, thereby improving the operation and maintenance efficiency of the entire plant and the consistency of management system data, and greatly improving the production efficiency.
