Valley Queen Cheese to Implement Orbis MES from Dairy.com, Extending Commitment to Excellence
Move Will Provide Complete Visibility Throughout the Plant with a Central Source of Data
FRISCO, Texas, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Valley Queen Cheese, a modern, high quality cheese, whey and other dairy product manufacturer in South Dakota, has selected Orbis from Dairy.com as its MES solution. Once implemented, the Orbis application suite will centralize the plant’s data and provide complete visibility across the entire facility.
“Creating that ‘Single Source of Truth’ will allow us to send a consistent message out to our teams,” said Nathan Bass, Senior Manager of Manufacturing at Valley Queen Cheese. “When we’re putting critical KPI’s and performance metrics out in front of them, we’ll know everyone is looking at the same data. Even better – we didn’t have to go back and build this from the ground up, Orbis already had a lot of functionality pre-built that we can just customize to our facility. That was the biggest thing, [Orbis and Dairy.com’s] familiarity with dairy in general.”
