Mettler Toledo, a leading company in precision instruments and product inspection, has announced a new series of free online seminars in English : “Optimising Dairy Yield: Intelligent Product Inspection to Reduce Waste and Increase Profits”. The initiative, which will take place between October and November 2026, will examine how companies in the dairy industry can turn product inspection into a factor of profit, compliance and confidence in production.
The series – designed to help quality, production, compliance and process teams address these challenges through a more integrated approach to product inspection – will follow a three-part journey, from the production line to the data backbone, starting with how modern weight control systems can help dairy companies control fill level, reduce waste and increase saleable yield.
It will then go on to illustrate how manufacturers can implement and leverage automated data collection methods to obtain secure, audit-ready information for continuous improvement across operations, before concluding with the impact of the new EURAMET Calibration Guideline No. 26 (CG-26) on the industry’s weighing process.
Registration for each online seminar will be available individually, giving manufacturers the flexibility to attend the sessions most relevant to their role, production challenges, or compliance priorities. Two sessions are scheduled throughout the series to accommodate participation from different geographic regions.
In the large-scale, high-volume dairy industry, even minimal levels of overfilling can result in significant margin losses. Cups, trays, bottles, and bags must all meet the stated weight requirements, but overfilling, process drift, unstable fillers, and inconsistent controls can quickly reduce profitability. At the same time, manufacturers must maintain accurate records, demonstrate control, and maintain reliable machine performance in challenging hygienic environments.
Webinar 1: Protecting Your Profit: How Leading Dairy Producers Reduce Waste with Intelligent Checkweighing Systems
The first webinar, scheduled for October 22, 2026, will focus on how intelligent checkweighers can help dairy manufacturers protect margins, maintain filling accuracy, and improve production line performance for cups, trays, bottles, and bags.
Checkweighers can provide real-time information on underfill and overfill trends, filler behavior, maintenance needs, and production data, helping teams act quickly and maintain target weights. In the dairy industry, where hygienic design, intensive washdown procedures, and high production speeds are critical, this level of control can help manufacturers reduce waste and meet compliance requirements while maintaining product consistency.
This first session will examine five practical strategies for the dairy industry, including the use of 100% inline checkweighers and automatic ejection to support stable package weights. Additionally, the benefits of connecting weighing data to filling machine control will be illustrated, so deviations can be corrected before waste occurs. Finally, the speaker will examine how to improve packaging and portion accuracy, where declared weight and product value directly impact profitability.
The webinar will also analyze the role of maintenance, verification, and calibration in ensuring reliable performance of checkweighers. Speakers will also explore how interconnected data, dashboards, and trend analysis can help manufacturers identify deviations, monitor rejections, reduce rework, and improve yield over time.
Webinar 2: Next-Level Performance: How to Turn Checkweigher Fill Level Data into Profit
Completing the first webinar, the second session, to be held on October 29, 2026, will focus on automatic data collection and how it can help manufacturers transform checkweigher results into clear, actionable insights.
Automatic data collection is the key to superior yield optimization. By automatically collecting and structuring weight, trend, and event data from connected product inspection devices, manufacturers can identify unstable fillers, overly generous targets, and recurring sources of waste. This allows teams to focus resources where they can maximize margin improvement.
The session will explore how centralized oversight of connected checkweighers can reduce manual setup, maintain consistent configurations, and provide teams with a clearer view of line performance. It will also demonstrate how product loss data can help manufacturers compare products, lines, shifts, and sites, while tracking savings over time.
The webinar will conclude with practical insights for quality and compliance teams, highlighting how to achieve secure, audit-ready digital records that document both regulatory compliance and the financial results of optimization initiatives. Participants will see how real-time dashboards and alerts also help quality, production, and management teams stay aligned in identifying yield losses and profit-enhancing opportunities. With the right solutions, superior yield becomes measurable: manufacturers can see where every gram goes, demonstrate savings, and ensure improvements are consolidated throughout the process.
Online Seminar 3: In-depth look at the new EURAMET CG-26 guidelines for dairy production
The final online seminar, scheduled for November 12, 2026, will address the new EURAMET CG-26 guideline for automatic weighing instruments and its impact on weighing practices in the dairy industry.
Accurate checkweigher calibration is essential to maintain product consistency, reduce the risk of costly errors, and support compliance documentation. As dairy companies face increasing demands for an accurate and reliable weighing process, understanding the latest calibration guidelines is an important step in maintaining control.
This session will provide an overview of the EURAMET CG-26 guidelines and explain what they mean for dairy production environments. The course will cover detailed calibration procedures, including static and dynamic repeatability and dynamic eccentricity tests, as well as how to understand and interpret the EURAMET calibration certificate for compliance documentation purposes.
The webinar will also examine the role of preventative maintenance as a foundation for calibration and performance verification. Practical information will be tailored for manufacturers looking to strengthen their approach to service, maintenance, and weighing accuracy.
Who the event is aimed at
The series is designed for manufacturers in the dairy industry and, more generally, for companies in the food sector that want to reduce waste, improve yield, strengthen regulatory compliance and gain greater visibility into inspection results. It will be particularly useful for quality assurance professionals, production managers, operational managers and the teams in charge of product inspection, weighing, line performance and preparation for audit processes.
Although the series focuses on production in the dairy industry, the principles covered will also be relevant to manufacturers operating in other high-volume food categories, including pet food, snacks and meat processing, where accurate weight control, product quality and compliance documentation are critical.
