Smart CIP prevents unnecessary water and chemical consumption when cleaning process parts. The software application functions as an add-on to your existing CIP (Clean-In-Place). It shows how efficiently it scores compared to the ideal situation. Via a user-friendly dashboard, you immediately gain insights and suggestions for improvement.
How does it work?
Smart CIP is based on the principle of continuous improvement. The software uses algorithms to calculate which actions result in reduced consumption.
Step 1: logging all process data from the control layer, such as production status, flow meters, conductivity meters,
temperature… A set of sensors at key points of the CIP process continuously analyze the information present.
Step 2: Smart CIP’s algorithms:
- Display the data in a structured way
- Define improvement suggestions
Visualize them
When deviations occur in terms of water consumption or use of chemicals, the application provides a clear solution to rectify the situation.
Where is the difference being made?
Smart CIP uses data analytics to prevent unnecessary water, energy and chemical consumption in cleaning.
The CIP (Cleaning in Place) process is a widespread process for cleaning production equipment. CIP cleans objects without the need to disassemble tanks or pipes. The process is therefore popular in the brewery, beverage, dairy, pharma and food sectors.
Studies have shown that 80% of normal CIPs in production environments are not using chemicals and water most efficiently. After we too noticed that this was a problem at many of our customers, we developed Smart CIP.
Problems with normal CIP
- Large consumer of water, chemicals, energy and time
- 80% of CIP processes operate inefficiently in terms of consumption
- Damage to the environment
- Water and other resources are becoming more scarce
Advantages Smart CIP
- Easy read-out volume parameters
- Useful visualization, clear dashboard
- No waste of water and chemicals
- Saves costs
