Dairy Processing Monitoring & Compliance

Pasteurization records are required by law

FDA Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) and FSMA Preventive Controls require continuous time + temperature records for every HTST and vat pasteurization batch. Paper logs and spot-checks do not satisfy modern inspections.

Cold-chain breaks ruin batches and trigger recalls

A failing raw-milk silo, ice-cream hardening freezer, or finished-goods cold room is hours of damage before someone walks past. Continuous-monitoring on every cooler beats hourly clipboard rounds.

No remote visibility across production + storage

Dairy processors run distinct rooms — receiving, pasteurization, fermentation/incubation, packaging, cold storage. No single picture of what is happening across the line.

Audit prep is paper archaeology

State dairy department inspections, FSMA audits, and recall investigations all need timestamped temperature records pulled fast. Filing-cabinet retrieval is hours of work; a tampered paper log is a regulatory finding.

Edge monitoring on every cooler + vat

On-Pi probes read raw-milk silos, balance tanks, HTST hold tubes, vat pasteurizers, yogurt incubators, ice-cream hardening freezers, and finished-goods cold rooms at sub-minute intervals — locally first, cloud second.

Production-line dashboard

See every room and every vat on one screen with sparkline trends. Group by production stage (raw → pasteurization → fermentation → cold storage) for line-of-sight from receiving to ship-out.

Threshold alerts on legal limits

Configure narrow alert windows on pasteurization hold temperature, fermentation setpoint, and cold-storage maximum. Anomaly detection catches compressor decay, heat-exchanger fouling, and probe drift before they show up in product.

PMO-grade pasteurization records + cold-chain logs

Every reading logged with a tamper-resistant timestamp. Per-batch HTST run reports, daily vat pasteurization logs, and cold-chain audit trails exportable as PDF for inspectors and recall investigators.
