Batch Optimization

Peanut butter being filled into jars on a production line, optimized by Laminar’s spectral sensors and AI agents to ensure consistency and reduce waste.

The Costs of Unoptimized Lines

Product consistency is key to quality, but frequent “inspecting in” with manual sampling extends your processing times. Removing guesswork is critical to optimizing batch turnover rates and time.

Producing golden batch quality repeatedly is a challenge. Viscosity, homogeneity, ingredient quality, and process consistency are all critical parameters that must be right to ensure both productivity and quality are optimal.

Rising pressure to focus on input costs and productivity leaves less time to chase losses and search for clarity on output variability by shift, line, or SKU. Still, losing good product hinders output goals.

Closed-Loop, Autonomous Optimization of Batches

Know When it is Ready

Laminar’s sensors and AI Agent for batch optimization monitor your batch, reducing the number of samples required to check progression or completion. It's the “quality assist” that speeds up every batch in real-time.

Produce a “golden batch” every time

Laminar’s sensors and AI Agent for batch monitoring builds a unique digital signature that incorporates all key parameters (viscosity, color, composition etc.) of a “golden batch” and compares it in real-time to what is in your tank. Our AI Agent then takes precise action when the batch is ready or alerts when the batch is deviating from the standard.

Produce more from every batch

CIP and Changeovers are necessary processes to maintain quality and meet demand, but they are a root cause for product loss. Let Laminar’s sensors and AI Agent alert you to re-capture good product trapped in your equipment and improve your batch output instantly.

Run Perfect Batches Every Time

Laminar’s spectral sensors, coupled with our purpose-built ML Models, build a distinct signature in real-time of your batch composition that our AI Agent monitors.

You now have a view inside your equipment that transforms the way you run your batches. No more guesswork and excessive sampling. More autonomous precision = more perfect batches every time.
