Some factories already run on Zero-Loss
... The rest have a 2030 problem. A plant in 2029 Three years from now, walk a European dairy or beverage plant at 03:00. The CIP cycle is finishing on a cream line, on a juice line, on a soft-drink filler. It is finishing because the line …
Collo wins the World Dairy Innovation Award 2026
What a night. There's something about Barcelona in June — the light, the warmth, the buzz in the room — and now there's a trophy to carry home! We're at the Global Dairy Congress, and last night the World Dairy Innovation Awards 2026 named …
Closing the AI loop in liquid production
Where this gets real: changeovers, cleaning, and the cost of running blind Parts 1 and 2 explained that Industrial AI has lagged for structural reasons, and getting past them takes four things rather than a bigger model: a real-time signal …
What good industrial AI actually looks like
Four things industrial AI has to get right before it earns a setpoint Part 1 argued that industrial AI lagged for structural reasons, not technical ones. Getting past them takes four unglamorous things, none of which is a bigger model.
Why the factory floor is the hardest place to put AI
Industrial AI isn't behind because it's late. It's behind because it's harder. Generative AI went from curiosity to boardroom mandate in about two years. Industrial AI has been "almost ready" for a decade. If you run a production operation, …
Why hygienic design is the next frontier in inline measurement
Not all sensor connections are created equal – and in food and beverage production, the difference can be measured in microbial risk, cleaning efficiency, and regulatory exposure. The conversation about inline process measurement has mature …
Less waste, more visibility: Collo and IMD partner in Benelux
Collo and IMD have established a partnership to help dairy and beverage producers in the Benelux region significantly reduce product losses while gaining real-time process intelligence across their operations. The collaboration combines IMD …
Inline measurement technologies compared: A Practical Guide
Most dairy and beverage plants still rely on sensors that measure one or two parameters in clear liquids. They drift, foul in contact with product, and cannot see through opaque liquids like milk, cream, or juice with pulp — forcing plants …
Real-time process intelligence comes to brewing
Our article on liquid process intelligence for breweries was recently published in Brauwelt, the leading German brewing industry publication. Here are the key takeaways.
Why zero drift matters - how RF tech is transforming beverage & dairy
Every production facility using traditional liquid analysis sensors—conductivity probes, pH meters, turbidity sensors—pays a hidden tax: sensor drift. Over time, these sensors lose accuracy. Electrodes foul, optical windows cloud, reference …
