Standards Monitoring in Pasteurization

Adherence to Standards — Key for Quality & Compliance

Meeting production standards ensures optimal performance — and is essential during audits. In this pasteurization unit, two critical rules apply:

• Flowrate must stay below a set maximum to protect equipment and product quality
• If heat treatment fails, the flash valve must divert product to rejection tanks

‍

The Approach

• Condition-Based Alerts: implemented value-based searches to monitor key issues:
  • Excessive flowrate during production, above manufacturer recommendations.
  • Valve malfunction during heat treatment, failing to reject product when temperature is below the minimum requirement.
• Automatic Contextualization: monitors were set up to automatically contextualize all these events.
• Trends & Setpoints: visualized valve status and rejection periods alongside setpoint values, and likewise tracked production flowrate vs. setpoints.
• Dashboard Integration: combined monitors, trends, and monthly event counters into a single auditready view.

Insight:

This setup provides realtime detection of deviations and clear historical context, streamlining rootcause analysis and ensuring compliance.
