BSF-1 — AI “Light-Off Operation” with zero sterility loss in UHT process.

A self-running, self-correcting and self-optimising RTD operation: AI continuously coordinates UHT, detects deviations early, autonomously adjusts approved parameters and stabilises production without routine human intervention – people supervise remotely and handle exceptions only. Today: - Equipment is automated at machine or step level, but deviations, coordination between systems, recovery and optimisation still depend heavily on people; there is no autonomous end-to-end operating system yet.

- More autonomous operating hours and auto-recovered deviations. - Fewer manual interventions. - Less process variability and quality loss, towards zero sterility loss.

- Manufacturing - Engineering - Quality - SHE

- PLC tags, process parameters, UHT conditions, alarms - Batch records, quality results, vision-camera data - Equipment condition, maintenance history, past deviation/recovery events Note: Synthetic data could be potentially provided during the process, upon approval of the Nestlé team and in compliance with data law.

To be determined Note: Nestlé's current environment includes Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Copilot. Solutions that can work with this environment are welcome, and final integration and deployment requirements will be confirmed with the Nestlé team.
