The latest food and beverage industry news and trend analysis

Dairy software specialist DairyCraftPro has announced the launch of its advanced Yoghurt Processing Software, a digital platform designed to automate and centralise critical stages of yoghurt manufacturing.

The launch responds to the global dairy sector's accelerating shift towards digital transformation, addressing the urgent need for tools that reduce manual errors, optimise yield, and ensure rigorous regulatory compliance across both small-scale and commercial operations.

Operational Automation and Efficiency

The newly enhanced platform is engineered to streamline the complex, interconnected processes involved in yoghurt production, including milk reception, fermentation timing, and temperature control.

By replacing manual spreadsheets with intelligent automation, the software handles essential calculations such as fat-to-protein ratios and production efficiency indicators. These tools are designed to maximise output while minimising raw material wastage.

Key Features:

• Process Tracking: Real-time monitoring of milk reception and batch progress.

• Visual Dashboards: Production timers and visual aids to support decision-making.

• Yield Optimisation: Automated calculators to ensure consistency in batch performance.

Integrated HACCP Compliance

A core component of the software is its focus on food safety. DairyCraftPro has integrated HACCP compliance tools directly into the workflow, digitising food safety documentation and process monitoring. This functionality is designed to maintain structured records, ensuring facilities remain audit-ready while reducing the administrative burden of regulatory reporting.

Scalable Subscription Model and AI

Recognising the diverse needs of the industry, DairyCraftPro has introduced a tiered subscription model:

• Free Plan: Designed for trial use and small-scale operations with basic compliance needs.

• Premium Plan: Targets expanding dairies, offering unlimited production entries, supplier management, and advanced reporting capabilities.

• Corporate Plan: The flagship tier incorporating DairyCraftPro AI. This level unlocks artificial intelligence-based analytics for deep-dive insights, including:

  • Milk fat standardisation.

  • Profit and cost analysis.

  • Brine adjustment features and lactase usage calculators.

The release reflects a broader industry trend where digital tools are becoming essential infrastructure rather than optional add-ons. By combining production management with advanced AI analytics, DairyCraftPro aims to position itself as a comprehensive solution for manufacturers seeking long-term operational improvement and cost control.
