Cleaning Automation – A Smart Answer to the Challenges of Food Production?
In every production facility, the same question arises:
Have we truly done everything to ensure hygiene and safety – while also managing costs and reducing waste?
Not long ago, the answer was straightforward: well-defined procedures and experienced staff.
But times are changing.
Rising quality standards, staffing shortages in maintenance teams, and increasing costs of water, energy, and chemicals are creating new pressures.
Today, every unnecessary cleaning cycle, every extra minute spent on sanitation, results in real financial loss.
That’s why automated cleaning systems are becoming more relevant than ever.
They don’t replace operators – instead, they support them by taking over the most repetitive and critical parts of the process.
They deliver consistent cleaning quality, reduce cleaning time, and lower utility consumption.
What used to require a two-person team and three hours of work can now be managed with a single automated cycle – allowing staff to focus on other priorities.
But automation isn’t just about machines – it’s also about data.
You know everything about your cleaning process – thanks to Smart Data Access.
Smart Data Access, our monitoring platform, allows you to check exactly what is happening with the cleaning process at any given moment: how much water the line is using, how long the last cycle took, and whether the pressure in the cooling tunnel maintained the required parameters. And if something deviates from the set standards, you can respond immediately – before the issue escalates into a breakdown or a failed audit.
Imagine this: an automated system launches the cleaning cycle, selects the appropriate chemicals, adjusts the flow, and documents the entire process via Smart Data Access. The operator simply approves the result and moves on. No downtime. No risk of missing a step.
This solution is ideal for:
• cooling tunnels,
• conveyor and transport lines,
• smoking/cooking chambers,
• high-risk microbiological zones,
• hard-to-reach areas or zones requiring repetitive cleaning cycles.
