Project description

In cheesemaking operations, there are stringent hygiene requirements and high complexity in plant technology. Producing 'food-safe' products imposes rigorous demands on both humans and machines. The operation must support the operator in efficiently completing tasks while constantly providing the necessary information about product quality – simple and clear.

Simple extensions in the A-VIS development environment save time in daily operations. Due to the wide variety of machine types and options, significant emphasis was placed on a so-called generic adaptation of visualizations. A-VIS offers numerous possibilities to automate the creation of software projects.

Challenges

User-Friendliness:

  • Visual clarity and reduction of unnecessary information to simplify workflows.

Complexity of Plant Technology:

  • Modular representation to integrate various machines and processes while remaining adaptable and flexible.

Real-Time Product Quality Information:

  • Integrated warning and notification systems.

Operational Efficiency:

  • Optimization of workflows through clear instructions, checklists, and automated suggestions for process improvements.

Data Security and Traceability:

  • Complete traceability of all production steps.

Adaptation to Different User Profiles:

  • Customizable user interfaces for different user groups.
  • Multilingual support and clear symbols for international usability.

Integration into Existing Systems:

  • Compatibility with existing control systems, standards, and databases in cheesemaking production.
  • Support for IoT and cloud solutions for data storage and analysis.
"We were looking for a partner, not a supplier. Alphagate lives partnerships."
