Written by Cybertrol Engineering | Mar 29, 2023

Cybertrol Engineering, a nationwide provider of plantwide control systems and information integration solutions with expertise in cheese and dairy process control, will participate in the upcoming CheeseCon 2023 conference to share their solutions and knowledge of sanitary process control for the cheese and dairy industry, including PalletWorks, a fully-integrated tracking, labeling, and ERP integration software solution.

Minneapolis, MN - March 29, 2023 - Cybertrol Engineering, a nationwide provider of plantwide control systems and information integration solutions, today announced their participation at CheeseCon 2023 taking place April 4-6 in Madison, Wisconsin. Co-hosted by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association (WCMA) and the Center for Dairy Research (CDR) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Cybertrol engineers will be on hand at exhibitor booth 525 to share expertise in cheese and dairy process control and PalletWorks, an end-of-line labeling SaaS platform that bridges the gap between the factory floor and ERP system.

Working as a trusted partner to leading U.S. cheese producers for more than 27 years, Cybertrol Engineering is a system integrator with extensive expertise in sanitary manufacturing process control and meeting Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) requirements for the cheese and dairy industry. Cybertrol’s team of engineers has created solutions designed to meet the highly specialized needs of the cheese and dairy industry, ensuring that raw milk is processed efficiently and with the highest quality standards. The company’s process knowledge ranges from dairy receiving bay management, standardization, and pasteurization to recipe management for cheesemaking and dairy mixtures, to flexible and efficient sanitary CIP processes, ensuring the final product is in-spec and USDA compliant.  

“We look forward to attending the cheese show in Wisconsin every year to network with industry leaders, share our in-depth expertise, and have meaningful conversations with our existing clients,” said Ben Durbin, president of Cybertrol Engineering. “We know in cheese production, it is more important than ever to partner with a system integrator that understands your challenges, knows your process inside and out, and has the technical capabilities to connect all levels of the plant, compliance, and business systems and that is what our team is committed to bringing to the table for our clients. Our passion for helping clients achieve business goals actually led to the development of our PalletWorks product. We look forward to sharing how PalletWorks is helping eliminate costly end-of-line errors with CheeseCon attendees.

Cybertrol Engineering developed the unique PalletWorks solution specifically to help a large cheese manufacturer solve costly end-of-line errors occurring during the transfer of data from the plant floor to the ERP system. The PalletWorks web portal empowers factory floor associates to see the data and correct labeling mistakes before they are transferred to the ERP system, often avoiding loss of product and costly rework. PalletWorks is a unique and creative integrated database solution, a bridge between the ERP and programmable logic controller (PLC) on the plant floor. The client who it was created for refers to it as a ‘packaging MES.’

More than 3,000 individuals who are involved in the dairy industry will gather at CheeseCon to exchange knowledge about developments in cheese technology, as well as product safety, workforce, dairy exports, and whey opportunities. The conference offers informative seminars, various networking opportunities, and a large exhibition hall featuring the most reliable suppliers in the industry.
