Webinar: Real-Time Process Control to Optimize your Petfood Operations

Pet industry professionals, pet food manufacturers, and quality control experts will gain valuable insights and practical guidance on how to effectively implement process control strategies to enhance production efficiency and product consistency simultaneously. Process control is essential in the pet food industry to ensure consistent product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. This webinar will explore four key learning points that are critical for successful process control implementation.

In this exclusive webinar, Dr. Nate Stebbins, an analytical food chemist, and application scientist, tec5USA, will provide insights into scientific process control to improve petfood operations using online near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for real-time quantification of protein, moisture, fat, fiber, ash and more.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

1. Near Infrared (NIR) theory for petfood production.

2. Online spectroscopy = Laboratory data without the lab.

3. Understand the importance of process control and identify critical control points (CCPs).

4. Strategies for using data analytics for feedback loops.

This webinar is sponsored by tec5USA and presented by Petfood Industry.
