Dairy processors face a unique blend of operational complexity and quality control demands. From pasteurization to fermentation, CIP to packaging, every step must balance hygiene, efficiency, and precision.
MontBlancAI empowers plant teams to detect anomalies early, reduce unplanned downtime, and continuously improve yield — without overwhelming operators with alerts or manual analysis.
The Challenges
Manual root cause analysis can take up to 5 days per incident, delaying resolution and increasing production risk.
Energy consumption accounts for up to 30% of operating costs in Food and Beverage production, with opportunities for optimization through digitalization.
Over 50% of CIP (Clean-in-Place) cycles are either overrun or under-clean, leading to wasted resources or hygiene risks.
The benefits
How Our Platform Optimizes Your Production
Track & Trace
Ensure product quality and compliance with end-to-end batch tracing. Quickly and easily trace defective products back to their sources with historical data from batch tracing.
CIP Validation
Validate your CIP (Clean-in-place) or production cycles in mins (not hours) with just a few clicks.
Threshold Alerts
Let our AI-powered anomaly detection algorithms identify faults in your production process. Get instant notifications when issues arise so you can take immediate action and minimize waste.
How Leading Companies Transform their Operations
Continuous CIP Validation
Hundreds of Saved Staffing Hours
Monitoring and validating Clean-in-Place (CIP) processes can be a complex, time-consuming, and costly process, particularly for relatively modest operations. However, production intelligence software powered by AI can make it significantly easier. That’s why a German dairy, processing more than two million liters of milk, turned to MontBlancAI for help. Producing high-quality milk, cream, yogurt, cheese, and butter, the dairy relies on CIP to clean and sanitize equipment and pipelines, ensuring product hygiene, quality, and safety.Was there a way to streamline and enhance the existing CIP processes? Let’s take a look.
Identifying Defects Early
The Power of Predictive Maintenance
A huge range of issues has the potential to delay, disrupt, and derail manufacturing operations. If you can identify these issues at the earliest opportunity, you can maintain an efficient production process. Traditional monitoring methods struggle to pick up issues such as performance deviations, short-term disruptions, and the failure of critical components such as filtration membranes. Our approach to predictive solutions provides a proven answer to this problem.
Enhanced OEE
10% Uplift for a Filling Machine
A manufacturing facility was struggling with filling line inefficiencies, despite seemingly stable monthly performance reports. Frequent, untracked short stops and unclear performance fluctuations were silently eroding productivity. By leveraging MontBlancAI’s advanced production monitoring tools, the facility uncovered and addressed these issues, delivering a remarkable 12.4% increase in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) within just six weeks. This case study details the challenge, the innovative approach, and the eventual results.
