Dairy
Integrated automation, energy and control solutions designed for New Zealand’s dairy processing sector.
Optimising Dairy Processing Across New Zealand
New Zealand’s dairy industry operates at global scale, where efficiency, product quality and compliance are critical to maintaining international competitiveness. CSE W Arthur Fisher supports dairy processors with integrated automation, energy and control solutions that improve plant performance, reduce operational costs and ensure consistent, high-quality output.
From milk reception and pasteurisation through to drying, refrigeration and packaging, our solutions are designed to support continuous operation in energy-intensive environments—while meeting strict hygiene, food safety and environmental compliance requirements.
With deep experience across New Zealand’s industrial and utility sectors, we understand the operational challenges faced by dairy processors and deliver practical, reliable solutions tailored to each site.
Supporting Reliable Dairy Production
Dairy processing relies on tight control of temperature, flow and cleaning processes, alongside high energy demand and continuous operation. Any disruption can impact product quality, compliance and output.
CSE Uniserve delivers integrated control, power and monitoring technologies that help maintain stable processing conditions, reduce energy-related issues and ensure consistent, reliable plant performance.
Technology Solutions
Industrial Automation and Control
CSE Uniserve delivers integrated automation solutions that provide reliable, scalable control across dairy processing facilities. Built around Schneider Electric Modicon PLC platforms, these systems enable centralised control of pasteurisers, separators, dryers and CIP systems, along with real-time monitoring of temperature, pressure and flow. Integration with SCADA and reporting systems supports consistent process control, helping maintain product quality and compliance.
Power Quality
CSE Uniserve provides power quality solutions that support stable, efficient operation in energy-intensive dairy environments. Through power quality monitoring, harmonic mitigation and power factor correction, our systems help reduce energy costs, protect sensitive equipment and improve overall electrical performance—ensuring reliable plant operation.
Asset Monitoring and Diagnostics
CSE Uniserve delivers asset monitoring solutions that help dairy processors maintain uptime and improve equipment reliability. By combining vibration monitoring and condition analysis, our systems enable early fault detection in critical assets such as pumps, compressors and fans—supporting predictive maintenance and reducing the risk of unplanned outages.
Motor Starting and Control
CSE Uniserve supports efficient motor control across dairy processing operations, where equipment such as pumps, agitators and conveyors require consistent performance. Variable speed drives enable precise control and energy savings, while soft starters reduce mechanical stress during start-up. For high-inertia applications, liquid resistance starters provide reliable performance in demanding environments.
Industrial Communications and Connectivity
CSE Uniserve delivers industrial networking solutions that enable reliable communication across dairy processing facilities. Using Siemens RUGGEDCOM and HMS Networks’ N-Tron and Red Lion technologies, our networks support secure, high-speed data exchange between PLC, SCADA and enterprise systems—ensuring real-time visibility and seamless system integration.
Flow Control
CSE Uniserve delivers integrated flow control solutions that enable precise and hygienic management of product and utility flows. Using AUMA actuators and Schneider Electric Foxboro positioners, these systems provide accurate valve control for food-grade processes and CIP operations—supporting consistent performance, process stability and compliance with hygiene standards.
