Food Science and Technology QUESTION #5964
Question 1
In dairy plant automation, SCADA systems are used for:
  • Microbial testing of milk samples
  • Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition — monitoring and controlling pasteurization temperature, flow rates, CIP chemical concentrations, and tank levels in real time✔️
  • Designing the layout of a dairy processing plant
  • Nutritional analysis of dairy products
Correct Answer Explanation
SCADA systems in modern dairy plants provide: real-time monitoring of critical control parameters (pasteurization temp/time, flow rates, pressures); automated control of processing sequences; alarming for out-of-specification conditions; data logging for regulatory compliance; and CIP sequence control.
