Skotidakis Goat Farm

Skotidakis dairy, known for artisanal cheese and yogurt, needed to expand operations to meet growing demand. The plant used conventional manual flow panels for milk routing that required operator intervention for every transfer step, limiting throughput and creating opportunities for error.

Qualtech implemented a fully automated system featuring Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 5370 controllers, PowerFlex 525 and 753 AC drives, and PanelView Plus graphic terminals. The system automated milk routing and all process transfer steps.

Productivity increased by 20% and operator errors were reduced by 95%. The automated system eliminated manual process routing, allowing the dairy to expand its artisanal cheese and yogurt production while maintaining quality.

• Automating dairy flow panels can reduce operator errors by 95% while simultaneously improving throughput by 20%
• Artisan food producers can scale production significantly without sacrificing quality through well-designed process automation
• Modular automation implementations in cheese processing enable dairies to rapidly expand to meet retailer contractual obligations
