Pleora’s Visual Inspection System Helps Ensure Brand Quality for Dairy Distillery
Dairy Distillery, a spirits producer that combines artisanal distilling techniques with a scientific process to transform milk into vodka, is now using Pleora Technologies Visual Inspection System to help maintain brand quality standards and reduce errors that increase operating costs and slow production.
Dairy Distillery has pioneered a unique process that uses milk permeate, a byproduct left over after cream, fat, and proteins have been removed from whole milk for use in products such as butter, ice cream, and yogurt, to create a clean and pure spirit. Previously, milk permeate was considered a waste product that had to be disposed of at a cost to the farmer. Founded in 2018, the Almonte, Ontario-based business now ships over 100,000 bottles of its flagship Vodkow Vodka and cream liquors to global customers. In 2020, the distillery became a major supplier of hand sanitizer to Ottawa hospitals and vaccination clinics as part of the fight against coronavirus.
