vEMI-Cheese Yield is used by leading plants to sustainably improve their yield. It is specially designed for cheese processing plants and provides the foundation for a continuous improvement cycle (collect, visualize, analyze, improve, measure).
vEMI QUALITIES
Configurable
Configurable. The vEMI Suite comes with a smart architecture that will rapidly configure to the plant floor. This enables order magnitude reduction in the installation cost, eliminates the technical risk associated with lengthy integration efforts. It allows customers to receive more immediate return on their investment.
Modular
Modular. The vEMI Suite is offered as comprehensive bundle, or as one or more separately installed functional modules that address a particular need. This allows customers to quickly address key focus areas, such as regulatory compliance, or to phase training over a longer period. It also offers customers to work within a current year budget, and use savings achieved from a vEMI Suite module to finance expansion.
Repeatable
Repeatable. Because vEMI installs as a configurable product, the data collection steps are highly repeatable across an enterprise. This enables systematic and consistent collection and analysis, as required in response to contamination from a raw materials supplier. It reduces validation efforts required upon installation. This has significant implications on lifetime cost of the digital records system.
Robust
Robust. The vEMI Suite combines industry KPIs with powerful analytics tools and a graphical user interface, to provide a complete solution out-of-the-box. Users can quickly isolate problems and drill down to the information they want to see. The product has a forward looking roadmap, and the configuration can easily update and evolve when the customer wants to change equipment, products and processes.
Compatible
Compatible. The vEMI Suite is compatible with all existing plant equipment and software. It allows scalable business practices to be deployed within an enterprise that has acquired plants or evolved into a heterogeneous automation control environment. It puts the evolution of business intelligence on a forward looking path.
Vision
Vision. When a customer selects vEMI Suite, they are buying into solutions that provide immediate payback, with an eye toward constantly improving plant performance and enabling process, equipment and other plant adjustments to be implemented with maximum efficiency.
vEMI-Cheese Yield guides the plant through critical real time decisions while each vat is made. A daily graph of theoretical yield is maintained against the actual weight of the cheese blocks produced. A simple click shows the vat details and its contribution to the day's totals. Contributions of milk and milk components, starter, and rennet are maintained. The amount of fat, solids, and protein are visible to the manufacturer in real time. Each formula can be visibly adjusted to suit the customer's method for cheese yield analysis and costing.
