Known for its patented ultra-filtration process, the company concentrates the natural protein in milk while removing lactose and some naturally occurring sugars, producing ultra-filtered milk.
This unique manufacturing process requires continuous, peak performance from a network of motors, pumps, and fans — many located in remote or hard-to-reach areas across multiple plants.
To ensure reliability, the company needed a solution that was quick to deploy and offered round-the-clock, autonomous monitoring.
