The paper discusses the introduction of computers into a dairy plant and describes the improvements during the last ten years in control and plant operation. The advantages of automation with a saving in cost and better quality control are shown and the development of cheaper memories and processing unit based on the use of large‐scale integrated circuits stressed.
