Our Commitment to Dairy Sustainability

Dairy manufacturers can’t become advocates for sustainable manufacturing practices without the necessary tools. SoftTrace support customers in forming sustainable manufacturing strategies for economic growth.

 

Paperless

Our solutions create a paperless factory powered by integrated smart data. Digital transformation reduces negative environmental impacts like natural resource consumption, pollution and waste, also reducing the company’s carbon footprint.

Plant Efficiencies

Plant managers have access to energy, utility, chemical & water usage data in real time with SoftTrace solutions. With this information, preventative maintenance of membrane skids and fitlers can be reduced by scheduling production as needed and controlling this will reduce unnecessary maintenance expenditure and environmental impact.

 

Eliminate Waste

We have supported our customers by reducing product waste on average 16% per project by highlighting process drift in real-time. Monitoring measuring and managing an environmentally responsible manufacturing process is an expectation of future generations in line with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, of which ethical, innovative dairy manufacturers planning to grow sustainably in the future have a duty to uphold.

Our Priorities

As trusted problem solvers and solutions providers, SoftTrace are proud to support our customers in improving their sustainability through the use of innovation, technology and smart manufacturing. Our priority is to help dairy manufacturers to be more sustainable in industry-specific areas, such as:

  • Food safety & quality
  • Water usage
  • Energy usage
  • Minimising the use of paper
  • Lean manufacturing and reducing waste
  • OEE
  • Supply chain
