In the dairy industry, ensuring product quality through regular sensory properties control is critical for safety, consistency, and consumer satisfaction. Sensory evaluations—including taste, smell, texture, and appearance—must be performed at various production stages, often by multiple employees across shifts. Wristask integrates task management and checklists directly into employees’ smartwatches, streamlining sensory evaluations and enhancing accuracy and compliance.

How Wristask optimizes sensory properties control in dairy production:

  1. Real-time task assignment & monitoring
    • Managers assign sensory checks to employees’ smartwatches at various production stages (e.g., pasteurization, fermentation, and packaging), updating tasks in real time.
    • Supervisors can monitor task progress and make adjustments as needed, ensuring evaluations are completed on time and consistently.
  2. Customized checklists for accurate sensory evaluation:
    • Tailored checklists are created for each sensory property evaluated (consistency, flavor, color, taste). Employees use their smartwatches to complete these checklists during each batch inspection.
    • For each sensory property, checklist confirms whether a product meets standards.
  3. Accountability & transparency:
    • Each completed sensory check is automatically logged, generating a timestamped record for compliance, traceability, and quality assurance.
    • Stakeholders receive detailed reports, enhancing transparency and accountability across shifts and supporting quality tracking.
  4. Resource optimization & bottleneck avoidance:
    • Wristask identifies any delays in the sensory evaluation process by monitoring task completion in real time. Resources can be reallocated if needed to ensure timely quality checks, preventing production slowdowns.

System functionality and workflow:

The core of the Wristask system lies in its task management capabilities, designed specifically for employees’ smartwatches. Using a centralized tool, the shift manager oversees production processes, including sensory property checks, assigning tasks with real-time control and tracking. Each employee receives a task list on their smartwatch, and when it’s time for a sensory property check, the device vibrates to prompt action.

The employee acknowledges the task with a quick tap on the watch, launching a checklist that allows them to log critical sensory evaluations—such as color, odor, taste, and consistency—of the dairy product at each production stage. This data is then seamlessly uploaded to Microsoft Dataverse, where the shift manager can access it through Power Apps for inspection and verification. Furthermore, the data is available for analysis at any time, revealing potential production deficiencies or serving as the foundation for initiatives to boost productivity.
