Highly Automated Manufacturing

The development and implementation of innovative technology to achieve cost, time and waste savings across our manufacturing business is a key priority for Fonterra.

Our Highly Automated Manufacturing project (HAM) will see selected areas of our manufacturing processes automated using leading edge dairy manufacturing technology and process innovation. We have already implemented proprietary HAM technologies at a number of our manufacturing facilities.

A specific example of HAM is Fonterra’s fully automated milk concentration processing facility at Tuamarina at the northern tip of the New Zealand’s South Island. This facility is managed by a control room over 450km away at Fonterra's Clandeboye site.
