Food and Beverage Solutions:

The most important thing in the food and beverage industry is quality control. In this industry traceability is often a requirement in any quality control system. Several customers use DAQFactory solely as a data logging tool for traceability. DAQFactory's reliability allow for continuous 24x7 logging. Many systems have been running uninterupted for years. Most of the time, data is logged and hopefully never used, but when it is needed, our customers know they can rely on DAQFactory and that their data will be there.

Other companies combine this with DAQFactory's HMI features to give the operators immediate feedback of the system status such as oven temperature, quantities of product used, and atmospheric conditions. Others go further and use DAQFactory's alarming features on their longer running processes to alert them via email or page that the system is approaching unacceptable levels. This allows them to quickly correct the problem without having to constantly monitor the data.

For the complete system, others add batch and system control to fully automate the system. Batch control allows the customer to run a particular product mix for a certain amount of time and then move to another. System control allows DAQFactory to correct unacceptable conditions on its own. For example, turning off a heater when the temperature in the oven gets too high.

No matter how extensively DAQFactory is used in a system, it's reliability inspires our customer's confidence.

Here are a few of the companies in the food and beverage industry that use DAQFactory:

• Domino's Pizza
• Carousel Foods
• Vigon International
• Zachary Confection
