CONSTANT MONITORING TO ENSURE Compliance AND PROFITABILITY
To ensure your product is always in specification, The Standard streams data about your process into the cloud to make sure each run of your product is within preset goals. It also provides management with a constant view of the plant’s performance. Below are samples of business intelligence analysis provided by The Standard.
INTEGRATION WITH LAB INSTRUMENTS
The Standard uses your lab tests
We understand you trust your lab’s results first and foremost. The Standard allows for full integration of your data through network connections, or labs and operators can enter results manually. The Standard will consider all data—including the wide range of analytics from FOSS—and use it to continue to deliver precision results.
The Standard uses your raw material labs
Would you like to know what yield to expect from your production day? Integrate your raw material testing with The Standard, or enter the tests before using the tank or silo. The Standard will calculate the predicted yield and report on accuracy after production in order to keep improving.
Real time run prediction
The Standard assists operators by predicting the current content of the tank or silo based on constantly running algorithms. It also predicts final results to allow an operator to adjust or lab test as needed.
complete integration, constant learning
The Standard provides full integration with any and all surrounding equipment that may influence accurate blending. This includes pasteurizers, product selections, raw material labs, final product bench labs, separation, flows, pressures, and destination routing. All these factors influence the inline blending results and are considered in The Standard’s algorithms. Integration can either be hardwired or networked.
The Standard saves its results and continually learns to accurately set blending equipment to create the best product possible. Factors like seasonal changes to raw materials or milk components and the effects of the surrounding process are recorded, and the system gets better each day at starting or holding the blending valves. No more wobbling after every separator desludge or making bad product until the system’s control gets settled in.
RELIABLE, PROVEN COMPONENTS
Metron 3A-approved Smart Valves deliver precision blending. The Standard will soon have Metron Smart Valves fully compatible with ControlLogix Ethernet for ease of replacement. The Standard is built using Rockwell automation’s Control/Logix. This provides ease of integration in the majority of process manufacturing applications. For dairy applications, The Standard uses Quadbeam sensors with very specific light wavelengths. This means your product will be within +/- 0.03% accuracy or better.
