Dairy

Consistent Milk, Confident Standards.

Tie instrument results to intakes, silos, and batches so every consignment meets spec — and every lab technician, plant operator, and quality manager works from the same source of truth, from farm gate to finished product.

The Reality on the Floor

Familiar painpoints in dairy operations.

Fat, protein, and solids-not-fat variability at intake, payment disputes with producers, and component drift across silos drive rework and margin loss — especially across multiple collection points, silos, and plants.

Fat, protein & SNF variability

Tanker-to-tanker composition swings and instrument-to-instrument drift lead to off-spec standardization — hurting yield, wasting cream and skim, and missing recipe targets across the plant.

Producer payment & paper-chasing

Component-based payment, quality-bonus disputes, and intake results live in spreadsheets and email. HOLD/RELEASE decisions stall while collection tankers queue at the bay.

Multi-site blind spots & calibrations

Collection points and plants run different analysers and factors — fat, protein, lactose, SNF. Calibration status and SPC rules don’t roll up, making site-to-site performance hard to compare.

One platform for every dairy instrument and every producer.

FOSS IQX brings milk analysers, lab instruments, and supplier quality into one easy-to-use platform — so your collection points, plants, and procurement teams stay compliant, reduce risk, and move faster from farm gate to finished product.

How It Works

From instruments to insight, in three steps.

No rip-and-replace. IQX connects the analysers you already run, brings their results into one place, and turns them into decisions your teams can act on.

  1. Connect your instruments

    Link MilkoScan, BactoScan, and lab instruments across every collection point, silo, and plant — no FTP, no new hardware, no downtime.

  2. Centralize the data

    Fat, protein, SNF, and safety results roll up into one source of truth — tied to lots, suppliers, and recipes, with calibration and SPC status visible across sites.

  3. Act with confidence

    Faster HOLD/RELEASE, cleaner producer payment, audit-ready records — every team working from the same numbers, from farm gate to finished product.

Built for Dairy

Everything you need, working together.

Instrument health, 24/7.

Instrument Health Reports deliver real-time diagnostics and predictive insights — spotting early signs of wear, calibration drift, and failures before they cost you downtime at the intake bay.

Store sample sets with confidence.

Instrument Sample Sets streamlines calibration and validation with structured, high-quality references — so consistency, accuracy, and compliance travel with you from one site to the next.

Build dairy products yourself.

The Products module standardizes testing parameters across instruments for consistent results — simpler setup, easier management, and far less variability across the network.

Questions, Answered

The things dairy teams ask us first.

Does it work with the FOSS instruments we already run?

Yes. IQX is built to connect the FOSS analysers already on your floor — MilkoScan, BactoScan, and lab instruments — across every collection point, silo, and plant. There’s no rip-and-replace and no new hardware to install.

How does data migration work?

Instrument results flow into IQX automatically once connected, so day-to-day data needs no manual export. For historical records, our team works with you on a structured import during onboarding — nothing lives in spreadsheets or email once you’re live.

Is it cloud-based, and where is our data stored?

IQX is a cloud platform with data hosted in the EU, so your quality and payment data stays within European data-residency requirements. Access is role-based, so lab, plant, and procurement teams each see what’s relevant to them.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. FOSS handles producer and supplier data in line with GDPR, with EU hosting, role-based access, and audit trails built in. Documentation for your compliance team is available on request during evaluation.

How is IQX priced?

Pricing scales with your operation — the number of sites, instruments, and which suites you run (Device Management, Supplier Quality, or both). The best next step is a short call so we can scope it to your setup and give you an accurate figure.

How long does it take to get up and running?

Because IQX connects to instruments you already have, most teams see their fleet and data centralized quickly, without operational disruption. Timelines depend on the number of sites and instruments — we’ll map a rollout plan with you during onboarding.
