Water savings in industry: the Antartic case study
Agromousquetaires’ Antartic site reduces water consumption and optimizes CIP(Cleaning in Place) operations, thanks to the combined expertise of Dametis and Elodys International.
A few words about the Agromousquetaires group
Founded in 1969, Agromousquetaires is today the industrial and agri-food division of the Les Mousquetaires group. As France’s leading manufacturer of private labels, Agromousquetaires supplies Netto and Intermarché stores. To ensure this supply, this industrial division has 59 production sites divided into 6 performance hubs with a wide range of products: meat & charcuterie, dairy products, beverages…
In order to better manage consumption at its various sites, and in particular to achieve water savings in industry, the group calls on Dametis to monitor various plants.
Focus on Dametis and Elodys International’s support for the Antartic site
Once the data has been uploaded to the platform, you can process it as you wish. The long-term challenge could be to adapt the CIP recipe to the product: quantity, quality, equipment (storage time in the case of a tank, production parameters for a pasteurizer, for example). Like a dishwasher program.

Saving water and energy in industry:
a major challenge
Their needs :
Improve control of their energy consumption
Save water and optimize CIP operation
Our solutions:
Deployment of our EMS software, MyDametis for :
Energy :
- Maintain and monitor ISO 50001 certification
- Schedule the production line according to consumption stubs, drifts, etc.
- Effectively monitor deviations and implement corrective actions
Deployment of our EMS software, MyDametis for :
The water
- Optimizing CIP operations
- Tracking water consumption and savings in industry
- Simplify the DREAL assessment process with the possibility of obtaining detailed reports
How can EMS software bring such benefits to manufacturers?
MyDametis is the only software to combine hybrid AI (statistical and physical modeling) with human expertise.
Statistical modeling, which operates on the basis of Machine Learning, analyzes large quantities of data to identify deviations, but it has its limits. This is where physical modeling comes in.
Enriched by human expertise and plant data, it enables :
- Interpret and explain performance and behavior.
- Simulate scenarios
- Identify improvements to help you achieve the minimum energy requirements
In the case of Antartic, the EMS examines all CIP constraints: bacteriology, TACT (Temperature, Action, Conductivity, Time), washing costs, etc.
The CIP-dedicated “BARcip” module, combined with an industry-specific algorithm, can then inform the manufacturer as soon as the TACT conditions are met. The result: fewer detergents, water and energy savings, and more time available for production!
