Arla
Calibration contract keeps dairy running and compliant.
5 days to calibrate a batch of 69 devices, which in the past might have taken three weeks.
Engineers at Arla’s Westbury Dairies are required to have a reliable calibration system in place to meet demanding audit obligations. “Our customers and the food industry always look seriously at calibration compliance,” states Process Automation Engineer Matthew Tribick. “It isn’t a small task and, as with most manufacturers, gone are the days of lengthy plant shutdowns to carry out the work.”
Arla decided to purchase a second instrument for each calibration point so they can send their devices to Endress+Hauser’s lab for calibration and hold replacements on site to keep the process running. The devices are always returned within Arla’s KPI of 14 days.
Reliable calibration helps Arla to comply with regulations by ensuring its processes run smoothly and its products are safe, and the partnership with Endress+Hauser saves valuable time for Arla’s engineers. “We’re over the moon with the service,” says Matthew Tribick.

What our customer said
“We have to be able to show that we have a robust system in place to minimise the turnaround. Due to the contract we have with Endress+Hauser, it’s become much easier to prove that to the auditors, which our quality department are really happy with. We can say exactly when something is going to be sent away and exactly when it’s going to return.”
