Automated Dosing in Food Production
Recipe-driven automated dosing and process control delivering product consistency and traceability.
- Batch traceability
- %100
- Dosing accuracy
- ±%1
- Less raw material waste
- %20
The problem
Mixing ratios depended on the operator, so taste and consistency varied from shift to shift. The batch-level traceability records required by audits were kept by hand and were not reliable.
The solution
We automated the weighing and dosing process with hygienic field equipment. Recipes are defined in the PLC; the operator selects the product from the HMI and the system doses the correct amount in the correct order. Every batch is logged automatically and can be exported as a report.
