OPERATIONS
If you do it
right, QA can help
save money in
operations. "
Ryan Mertes, Ever.Ag
" Generally, operators who
do this repeatedly are going
to err on the side of caution.
They would rather have an
overdried product they can
send out the door safely rather
than try to manually float along
that upper limit of moisture
content and occasionally going
above that and having the
product rejected. "
When the company's
SKALA Solo software is used
to establish moisture levels,
companies can maintain better
control of moisture content, in
turn increasing yield and profits
without sacrificing quality.
" I am able to show
processors real-time data that
shows a reduction in standard
deviation and an increase in
yield, " Nyquist said. " That's not
something they had generally
thought about. "
SAVING MONEY
As the industry is moving
beyond the pandemic and
returning to a focus on justas
much moisture as possible in products allows a company
to produce more products for less cost. But skirting around
the upper end of safe moisture content in milk powders and
cheeses can become a safety and quality management issue.
To solve this challenge, Aqualab by Addium, Pullman,
Wash., formerly known as METER Group, offers automated
water activity meters and moisture analysis instruments
that help processors use as much water as safely possible in
cheese and powders, meaning more money for the company.
" Taking a lot of the human element out of decisionmaking
on the dryer goes a long way in making a more
consistent product, " said Brian Nyquist, process engineer.

in-time inventory, more pressure is being put on testing
processes at dairy plants to ensure plants are getting clean
releases, said Ryan Mertes, chief solutions officer at Ever.Ag,
Frisco, Texas.
Mertes said having documented processes and being able
to test traceability plans is essential, and Rogers also agrees
with this idea.
" It's said in our industry, 'If it's not documented, it didn't
happen,' " Rogers said. " Having the ability to document it,
store it, and maintain it in an electronic resource is much
easier to do, and you are able to analyze that data much more
easily and make it usable than it is in a paper-based system. "
