"When the Saudi dairy giant sought a solution for high-end milk powder filling, they encountered three major industry challenges:
✅ Strict Hygiene Standards: The government requires strict aseptic processing and nitrogen preservation standards
✅ Adaptation to Extreme Climate: Equipment stability and nitrogen precision control at 50℃ high temperatures
✅ Dependency on Human Labor: The local labor cost has soared, and there is an urgent need for full-process automation as a substitute"
 
At the end of 2023, a well-known Saudi dairy company contacted us, urgently needing a fully automated production line to expand their export business. Their core requirements were: full automation, zero human intervention, and compliance with Islamic halal certification. We responded promptly and customized a solution that not only addressed the pain points but also seized the market opportunity.
 

Based on customer pain points, our production line covers eight core processes and integrates intelligent technology at every step. The process design is concise and efficient, divided into 5 major modules:
 
(1). Pre-treatment of empty cans (unstacking, bottle unscrambler, demagnetization, cleaning and sterilization)
· Intelligent unstacking and bottle unscrambler: The robotic arm automatically unstacks the empty cans, and the high-speed bottle unscrambler system precisely locates them, reducing the risk of jamming (error rate < 0.1%).
· Deep cleaning and sterilization: Using UV-C ultraviolet rays + food-grade aerosol disinfectant, 99.99% of bacteria are eliminated, ensuring the cans are sterile; the demagnetization function prevents metal impurities from contaminating.
 
(2). Milk Powder Filling and Nitrogen Preservation (Core Process)
· High-precision Filling: Servo motor controls the filling volume, with an error of ±0.5 grams, suitable for various can types (such as 200g - 1kg); Sealed environment prevents dust cross-contamination.
· Nitrogen Injection System: Automatically injects food-grade nitrogen to displace oxygen, with residual oxygen content < 1% and dynamic control to extend the shelf life of milk powder and meet the requirements for long-distance export.
 
(3). Sealing and Labeling (Sealing, Coding)
· Laser Sealing Technology: Prevents air leakage and moisture; The inkjet printing module supports multiple languages (Arabic/English), enabling batch traceability.
 
(4). Intelligent Packaging (Automated Integration)
· Mechanical Hand Packaging System: Automatically stack and seal the boxes. It can handle 2,000 cans per hour, reducing labor costs by 50%.
 
(5). Full-process Control (Intelligent Hub)
· PLC + IoT Monitoring: Real-time data feedback, remote fault diagnosis; energy consumption reduced by 20%, capable of operating in Saudi Arabia's high-temperature environment.
 

▸ Efficiency Upgrade: Single-line production capacity reaches 100 bottles per minute, with daily processing volume exceeding 120,000 bottles
▸ Cost Reduction: Labor reduction by 75%, energy consumption decreased by 32%, ROI (Return on Investment) achieved within 6 months
▸ Quality Control Breakthrough: Filling accuracy reaches 99.8%, product defect rate drops to 0.01%, customer complaints decrease by 95%, successfully obtaining a new order from Europe
