With a proven track record, Au2mate has delivered control systems for several major OEMs in the dairy industry, as well as numerous upgrades and retrofits for end users directly.

As a certified partner of all major automation brands, Au2mate brings extensive experience in retrofitting systems. Our partnership with FOSS Analytics ensures a high level of support, along with direct access to valuable insights and assistance from analytical specialist in the field.


standardization challenges

Fresh cheese production presents significant challenges

  • Manual sampling: Delays in adjustments, leading to errors (0.05% to 0.10%).

  • Sample temperature: Can result in low repeatability due to evaporation of moisture in sample

  • Lack of real-time data: Inability to react instantly to process changes.

  • Increased sampling requirements: Recipe and raw material variations demand frequent intervention.

  • Undetected process malfunctions: Issues cannot be addressed immediately.

Consequences

  • Increased process variation.

  • Higher security margins, reducing yield and profit.

  • Inefficient resource utilization and lost opportunities for optimization.


Innovative solution

Au2mate’s solution, developed with FOSS, integrates the ProFoss 2 in-line sensor into your system, whether it’s centrifuge- or filtration-based, to enable precise, real-time monitoring and control.

How It Works:

  • Real-time reaction: Monitor and adjust Total Solids (TS) or Protein content instantaneously.

  • Enhanced detection: Detect variations as small as 0.03% for TS or Protein.

  • Closed-loop control: Reduce process variation by up to 50% for superior consistency.

For filtration plants, the application parallels WPC/MPC optimization:

  • Utilize ProFoss 2 in the retentate outlet for precise flux control.

  • Achieve outstanding process stability, ensuring high-quality output with minimized waste.

Key Benefits for Dairy producers:

  • Boost profitability: Move production targets closer to specifications, maximizing yield and profit.

  • Reduce variability: Achieve <0.10% process variation for unparalleled consistency and quality.

  • Sustainability at scale: Minimize waste and energy consumption, ensuring environmentally responsible production.

  • Flexibility across systems: Seamlessly adapt to separator or filtration setups, empowering diverse production needs.

Analytical advantages

ProFoss™ 2 is an in-line analysis solution for fresh cheese and strained yogurt production, offering continuous, real-time measurements. It helps optimize raw material use, improve consistency, and reduce waste. The system provides accurate data on key parameters like moisture and fat content, ensuring high-quality production. Its non-destructive NIR technology enables rapid adjustments, increasing efficiency and yield. Designed for easy integration, ProFoss™ 2 enhances process control and minimizes production variability.


FAQ

Is it possible to retrofit the solution on our current UF plant or Centrifuge?

Absolutely! Au2mate can handle the necessary control system updates, and the FOSS instrument can replace the existing refractometer seamlessly, if one is present.

My current supplier says they won’t support the UF plant or Centrifuge if someone else modifies the program. I’m concerned about losing support.

No need to worry. Au2mate provides an attractive 24/7 support solution and has extensive experience in process automation. We ensure you’re fully supported throughout the process and beyond.

I don’t like the idea of coordinating both FOSS and Au2mate during the project.

We’ll streamline everything for you. Au2mate will act as your single point of contact, ensuring you don’t need to take on any extra project management responsibilities.

I’ve heard promises of huge savings before, only for the results to be marginal. Why should I trust this?

We understand your concerns. That’s why we’re open to KPI-based agreements. We’re confident the solution works and consistently delivers measurable results. Let’s discuss your specific needs in a sales meeting and explore the potential savings for your operation.

Our centrifuge’s control system is near the end of its life cycle. I’m not sure this upgrade is worthwhile.

If your centrifuge is nearing the end of its life cycle, Au2mate offers an attractive upgrade solution specifically for the control system. Please explore our Upgrade Package to see how it can extend the life and enhance the performance of your equipment.
