Delta Instruments

Delta Instruments is a leading manufacturer of instruments for analysing dairy products. Its equipment is used by the dairy industry and independent laboratories for dairy quality control, pathological research, and dairy herd improvement . The CombiScope 600 Dairy Analyzer was developed for rapid, routine batch analysis of large quantities of dairy products and is used worldwide, from South Korea to Brazil.

Be-Value was consulted to redesign the software and system architecture used to configure and control the CombiScope 600 Dairy Analyzer. The scope was limited to the .NET software between the operator and the CAN interface. Together with the software team, we worked toward a functional and technical decomposition of the existing monolithic system and the centralization of components and services in a cloud environment to support subscription models for customers. The work included facilitating functional and architecture sessions, developing proofs of concept, taking the first steps toward the functional and technical decomposition of the monolith, and setting up a CI/CD environment.
