Schaerer presents “MilkCheck”: New milk scale optimises ingredient management and service tasks
Coffee machine manufacturer Schaerer presents the innovative “MilkCheck” milk scale in the area of ingredient management for coffee concepts. The compact scale offers continuous monitoring of milk container fill levels and the cooling chamber temperature. This goes much further than the familiar “low” or “empty” status indicators: The continuous fill level indicator delivers precise, weight-based real-time data on milk supplies allowing operators optimal planning and scheduling of refill processes. This proactive planning with customisable notifications results in more efficient personnel deployment, saving time and costs. Empty milk containers and lost sales due to coffee machine downtimes are also avoided. In addition, “MilkCheck” continuously monitors the temperature of the cooling chamber, contributing to maintaining hygiene standards and ensuring customer safety. The milk scale can be used with any pack type, such as containers, bag-in-boxes or Tetrapaks. It can also be used for cooling units from different manufacturers. Integrated into the various usage scenarios of Schaerer coffee machines, “MilkCheck” will be presented to the public for the first time at the international trade fair FHA – HoReCa 2024 in Singapore (22 – 25 October, Stand 2G2-08) and at Gulfhost in Dubai (7 – 11 November, Stand Z5-B51).
