using six lines. The product mix will
include 70% dairy milk products and
30% alternative beverages using diverse
equipment including Tetra Pak products.
Williams said future phases of construction
could increase the capacity of the facility to 18
lines.
" We are being mindful of the fact that we want
to expand, so we are creating an environment that
will be easier for us to add additional equipment, "
Williams said.
Suntado's owners wanted to focus on extended
shelf-life products due to their sustainable
nature and ability to reduce waste and mileage.
Efficiencies in the facility's operations will also
be driven by the fact the owners have dairies
within 15 miles of the plant, and they will also
require customers to order high enough minimum
quantities to maximize throughput.
Amidst nagging supply chain and
macro-economic issues, the key to a new
construction is making sure a processor has
secured the right contractor, architect, engineer
and vendors, Williams said.
" It behooves every company to look at how
they can automate as much as possible because of
that threat of limited supply of labor, " he said.
MAKING SENSE OF THE DATA
Outfitting facilities with the latest technology
that optimizes uptime and uses data to inform
operations is also critical. It can be challenging
to create a modern network in facilities with
significant age, and Nancy Finnegan, vice
president of sales for FactoryEye by Magic
Software, said having modern software is only
part of the solution as a foundation of solid
architecture is essential.
When Finnegan works to help a dairy
processor modernize its operations, she begins
by going to the production floor. In many cases,
one of the first things she sees is a whiteboard.
Her response is to question where the information
on the whiteboard came from, how long it took
to compile and how business would be improved
if the data was stored and presented in a more
efficient manner.
" We are very much focused on a crawl, walk,
run, sprint implementation approach, " Finnegan
said.
When making modernization plans, she said
it's important for processors to consider their
goals and how they can leverage what they
already have.
FactoryEye is focused on data integrity, and
in many cases because there is no architecture
holding a processor's data and allowing for
