Revolutionising Dairy Production with

Since 2001, Advanced Machine Company (AMC) has been at the forefront of delivering cutting-edge automation solutions for the dairy industry. In collaboration with Mitsubishi Electric, AMC has integrated advanced servo drives and frequency converters into modern dairy processing, ensuring unmatched precision, efficiency, and hygiene. This partnership has been instrumental in optimising production at Tine, Norway’s leading dairy company, where the implementation of Mitsubishi Electric’s automation solutions has enhanced performance across multiple facilities.

The dairy industry demands high levels of accuracy, hygiene, and space efficiency to meet stringent quality standards. However, traditional dairy processing equipment often struggles with:

• Limited precision, leading to inconsistent product quality.
• Space constraints, making it difficult to integrate advanced automation.
• Hygiene requirements, necessitating equipment that can withstand rigorous cleaning protocols.
• Lack of flexibility, making integration with modern control systems challenging.

State-of-the-art automation technology proved to be the answer to these challenges at Tine's production facilities, where a comprehensive modernization approach was implemented.

To address these challenges, AMC partnered with Mitsubishi Electric to deploy state-of-the-art automation solutions at Tine’s factories. The implementation features:

• MELSEC PLCs – Providing high-speed control and flexibility.
• MELSERVO Servo Drives & Motors – Delivering exceptional accuracy for dairy production.
• Compact Design – Enabling easy installation in space-restricted environments.
• Components Compliant with Hygiene Standards – Meeting industry sanitation standards.
• Flexible Integration – Supporting multiple communication protocols for compatibility with diverse control systems.

By incorporating these advanced systems, Tine has optimised its dairy processing lines, ensuring greater efficiency and reliability across its production facilities.

„The advantage of Mitsubishi Electric’s servos is that they are incredibly precise. Everything that happens, happens correctly. In addition, they are very stable.”

The implementation of Mitsubishi Electric’s automation solutions at Tine’s factories has delivered significant benefits:

• Enhanced Precision – Improved product consistency and quality.
• Optimised Space Usage – Compact solutions fit seamlessly into existing facilities.
  
• Superior Hygiene Compliance – Equipment designed to withstand rigorous cleaning.
• Seamless System Integration – Flexible connectivity with existing automation setups.
• Global Impact – Successfully deployed across Tine’s production network, improving operations in Norway and beyond.

A New Standard in Dairy Production

This collaboration showcases how precision engineering and automation can drive efficiency in dairy manufacturing. By addressing key industry challenges, AMC and Mitsubishi Electric have helped Tine set new benchmarks for quality, hygiene, and operational flexibility.
Their ongoing commitment to innovation ensures that dairy producers worldwide benefit from advanced, reliable, and future-ready automation solutions.

„Almost all Mitsubishi Electric equipment is designed to be flexible, allowing you to integrate the equipment into other control systems, as there are many communication options in the equipment. This means, for example, that we can integrate servos and frequency converters into an application, even if the control system is supplied by another vendor.”
