How to automate temperature and humidity measurement in a dairy plant? Our solution

Responding to the customer's needs, we implemented a solution based on the JUMO automation system, which enables unattended collection of measurement data and its analysis in real time. A key element was the integration of the JUMO variTRON 500 controller, which acts as a central unit and collects data from equipment distributed in different parts of the plant. With its open communication capabilities, the variTRON was connected to the existing infrastructure and enabled data transfer via Ethernet - eliminating the need for USB altogether.

The second pillar of the implementation was smartWARE Evaluation software as a data logger. It allows convenient monitoring of temperature and humidity, as well as generating statements and reports. The entire system was designed so that further expansion is possible - for example, by adding more measurement points or additional functions such as alarms, dashboards or remote access. The solution used fits the needs of a modern manufacturing plant, which relies on automation, transparency and data continuity.

What has the dairy gained from automating temperature and humidity measurement? Customer benefits

The introduction of an automatic temperature and humidity measurement system has brought noticeable changes to dairy production. First and foremost, the need for manual data retrieval, which previously occupied operators' time and required organizing cyclical activities, has been eliminated. With the new solution, data is collected automatically and is available in one place - with no delays, no copying of files and no risk of loss.

Automatic data collection = real time savings

Operators no longer have to perform repetitive tasks related to handling data carriers. Activities that previously involved employees have been replaced by a reliable network communication system. The process runs in the background - sensor data goes directly to the analytical system, without the need for human intervention.

Constant access to data has improved process oversight

Thanks to central access to information, the production and maintenance department has a full view of current temperature and humidity values. Monitoring takes place in real time, which makes it possible to immediately notice potential deviations from the norm and take corrective action more quickly. Such a change has translated into greater process stability and reduced risk of production losses.

Better organization of work, greater sense of control

The implementation of the system has not only improved access to data, but also relieved employees of additional duties. Data is always available, organized and ready for use - both in daily operations and during inspections or audits. This allows the production team to focus on optimizing the process instead of handling unnecessary bureaucracy.
