APST, or Air Products’ Smart Technology, uses sensor and wireless communications technology to give food producers greater insight into the cryogenic freezing process.
Launched just earlier this week, the technology utilises live digital dashboards to allow production teams to monitor, assess and optimise freezer performance. This offers levels of connivence, efficiency and effectiveness that are new to the market.
Jon Trembley, Technology Manager for Cryogenic Applications at Air Products, said, “External challenges have meant there is even more pressure for food producers to deliver quality foods in order to meet customer demands. This is why operational efficiency and product quality have never been more important.”
“Not only do food producers need to reduce costs and prevent product loss, but they also need to achieve a competitive advantage in an increasingly challenging economic climate. “This is where smart cryogenic freezing can help. The insight and guidance that APST offers food producers can significantly boost productivity with direct impact on a company’s bottom line.”
“Using smart technology will help to improve and maintain product quality and reduce nitrogen consumption, as well as maximise efficiency and up-time of their cryogenic tunnel freezer.”
The new digital tool can be retrofitted to or installed with Air Products’ Freshline® freezers.
