Common dairy manufacturer pain points
Dairy production brings complex challenges — from inconsistent quality and fragmented data to high energy costs and inefficient temperature control. Each pain point faced can lead to high costs, batch delays, and inconsistencies. However, with PLAATO’s production management software, you can see and prevent issues in real time. Here’s where we can help.
Dairy Software Integration
For dairy facilities running multiple PLCs across processing, fermentation, and packaging, the PLAATO Edge gateway connects seamlessly to each system, delivering all your process data into one unified Insights platform.
PLAATO integrates with existing dairy production systems — from sensors and PLCs to lab and manual data — creating a unified, real-time view of performance without replacing your current stack.

"I knew what to expect from PLAATO but I'm still more than impressed by the ease of use. We still have a somewhat analogue cooling method but I managed to get the second batch exactly where I wanted it- admittedly I should have put more sugars into that ferment as it finished a day earlier”

"I've really appreciated having PLAATO for the last year as it's enabled me to have remote visibility, and ensure my ferms are on track. I've been able to experiment with different yeasts and see exactly what's happening in the tank as a result. It's been important to see that the graphs are the same/similar each time as I then know my process is faultless."
The Walrus Distillery, David Robertson
