Meet Ninky Miles 🌟 We are shining a spotlight on Ninky Miles, an exceptional person who owns a remarkable machine, that proves that quality craftsmanship lasts. 🥛🧈 Each week at her home in Australia, Ninky makes butter from fresh milk using an ancient Alfa separator that is still going strong. 🇦🇺 🌏 Here she shares her story with us. "I am 76 years of age and live with my husband, Graeme, in a small village called Muttama, situated between Cootamundra and Gundagai in New South Wales, Australia,” she says. Ninky’s parents owned a farm, and the family always had a couple of cows which the kids had to milk. She left school at 15, and went straight to work on properties with cattle, sheep, and show-jumping horses. 👰🤵 Fast forward a few years and she had married Graeme and moved with their two sons to Delegate, a small town in New South Wales. She was able to take her two Jersey cows with her and would milk them and make butter using a hand separator. A neighbour who was getting a bit too old to milk his cow, had heard about Ninky milking and making butter and asked if she could milk his cow for a few months until his new calf was big enough to drink all the milk. Ninky agreed and in came the cow, plus the little Alfa separator. “How great,” she thought when she saw the separator, “electric and easy.” 🎁 A couple of months later, the cow and the calf went home. When the neighbour came to collect them, Ninky sadly handed him back the Alfa Separator. “No,” the neighbour told her, “You can keep him, he’s yours.” Ninky used the separator in Delegate for around 20 years before she and her family bought some land in Queensland with cows, where they used it for another 15 years. 🐑🏇 🐄 Since then, the family has moved to Muttama where they have retired on 30 acres with sheep and horses. Ninky says: “We didn’t have a milk cow for a few years but we both agree that bought milk and butter is not that nice and so, two cows later, the Alfa came out of retirement.” Ninky uses the separator five days out of 10 making butter which she swaps for eggs and vegetables. “I've had the Alfa for 44 years, and it has been a great little machine. I hope it goes for another 20 years, though I probably won't be milking by then,” Ninky says. #AlfaLaval #PioneeringPositiveImpact #Innovation #Sustainability

🤖 Generative AI - Hype or Hope? AI is not a new field of science. In the 1950s scientists discussed machine learning and the term Artificial Intelligence was mentioned as early as 1955. At Alfa Laval we use AI to optimize processes and automate production and in our AI Centre of Excellence, we explore new ways to create business value by using AI and Generative AI. 💡 Generative AI and Large Language Models, LLM are relatively new and it's a fast-changing landscape. This will change the way we think about content, the way we search for it, and the way we curate it. It will also change the way we make decisions around all the data we have. “Generative AI is a valuable enabler for how we can achieve scalability for Alfa Laval towards our 2030 ambition of becoming a 100 billion SEK company. This is a fantastic opportunity for how we can leverage technology to generate bottom-line value for Alfa Laval”, says Susanne Thorskov Hansen, Chief Information Officer. 🌐✨ Many companies are thinking about Generative AI, talking about it and believing in its opportunities. But that will not make any difference. If companies want to realize opportunities, they must get started and explore the potential. Some areas where GenAI can be integrated to support organizations: 📈 Productivity - making summaries of documents, preparing and creating actions from meetings. 🔄 Process automation - making suggestions for improvement of processes. Regardless of whether it's a manual or machine process, it can be improved by using AI. 💡 Product innovation - from research and discoveries to adding AI solutions on top of existing products or new business models driven by AI overlay. #AlfaLaval #PioneeringPositiveImpact #Innovation #AI
