In the plant operation phase, Schneider Electric can help dairy companies achieve digital control of the entire process from raw milk reception to finished product distribution:

Schneider Electric’s leading MES system helps dairy enterprises achieve flexible production, fine processing, and precise control, while monitoring costs and energy consumption, avoiding waste of energy and production materials, improving operation management level, improving efficiency, and realizing lean digital management; In a large food factory, through the implementation of MES system, the whole process management from material preparation, feeding and weighing, formula management to quality tracking and performance analysis was realized, and the end-to-end continuous transparent tracking management was realized, and the production efficiency was increased by 9%.
Schneider Electric Predictive Maintenance Consultant PMA can solve the maintenance pain points of various equipment and components, including harsh environment, high failure rate, expensive monomer value, process critical, failure can not be traced, etc., can comprehensively predict and diagnose all fault types of all basic components, reduce the number of unexpected downtime, increase equipment utilization. This solution has resulted in a 35% reduction in overall maintenance costs, an 80% reduction in unplanned downtime, a 17% increase in equipment utilization, and a 15% increase in production efficiency.
After connecting with the factory’s public and auxiliary control system, the energy centralized control system can also monitor and dispatch the use of various energy media, including electricity, industrial water, steam, gas, compressed air, etc., so that enterprises can timely and accurately understand the actual energy consumption of each production link to ensure the stability and order of energy supply;
