Customer Success Stories
Consistent CIP. Consistent Results.
Background
Around-the-Clock Monitoring
Ecolab® CIP IQ™ enabled Umpqua for the first time ever to “see” the volume of chemicals and water used across every single wash. 24/7 around-the-clock monitoring was set up to provide insights on cleaning and sanitizing concentration variations, allowing the plant to identify and prioritize opportunities for improvement.
Comprehensive Visibility
Cleaning and sanitizing in a facility with a diverse product mix can gradually increase pressure on existing CIP systems. The traditional monitoring methods were unable to provide comprehensive visibility into each one of Umpqua's cleaning procedures. Umqpua partnered with Ecolab in 2018 to find proactive ways to deliver consistent cleans using sophisticated wash data analysis with Ecolab® CIP IQ™. This gave Umpqua Dairy full visibility into their CIP operations allowing them to increase productivity, reduce costs and identify areas of water over-usage.
