Process Optimizer helps dairy test milk quality

ESE released the beta Process Optimizer 4.0 at the IFT Annual Meeting and Food Expo 09 in Anaheim, California.

Process Optimizer 4.0 drives ESE's Q5 Near Infrared Analyzers, which test and measure constituents in food and beverage products for better quality and reduced waste.

Associated Milk Producers (AMPI) will be among the first beta customers to use the software.

AMPI, a dairy marketing co-operative, operates manufacturing sites in six Midwestern states and will test the software at its Portage, Wisconsin location.

Donald Weideman, plant manager from AMPI, said: 'At AMPI, our mission is to maximise the return on milk marketed and equity invested.

'Process Optimizer 4.0 helps us do that by providing test results and data that enable us to manage our operations more tightly.

'By participating in this beta, we will gain better reporting tools to help drive our business forward.

'It's something our co-operative members require to make sound business decisions.

New Process Optimizer features include an upgrade to MS SQL 2005 to make daily database management more configurable, effective and efficient.

The software also includes SQL reporting services, which enable ESE customers to quickly and effectively extract business data and create reports that help manage their daily operations.
