Food production

Food production, aligned with the IFS Food Standard.

Industrial food production at the top of the specification range — with hygiene, precision and documentation aligned with the IFS Food Standard.

Scope of work

Food production, aligned with the IFS Food Standard.

From power supply and raw milk intake, process room controls, cheese production, dessert and fresh milk lines through to cheese ripening, we take high-specification production plants into regulated operation — including CIP plant, control systems, milk powder production and neutralisation plant.

To do that we deliver services from our four fields — production IT & automation, commissioning, qualification and special hardware — plus lifecycle support in routine operation.

Plants × business fields

Every plant. Across all four fields.

From raw milk intake to cheese ripening: we cover what food production demands across production IT, commissioning, qualification and special hardware.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you understand how a dairy works?

Yes. We know the processes from raw milk intake to cheese ripening, write the functional specification together with the plant builder, and automate to your requirements.

Are you tied to particular automation platforms?

No. We also automate on existing control systems and align with your process needs and your standards — not with any one vendor.

Do you also supply the automation hardware and handle the electrical installation?

Yes. We supply and install the automation hardware and the components that go with it as part of the project.

What do you do to reduce energy costs?

With efficient metering we create the basis for analysing and assessing the plant's energy demand. From that, optimisation and cost-saving measures are developed together with the operator.
