FRISCO, Texas, June 17, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Dairy.com®  announces the acquisition of Orbis MES, a Dublin, Ireland-based leader in manufacturing execution systems (MES) for the food and beverage industry. The move broadens Dairy.com’s portfolio of software solutions that deliver visibility, efficiency, and traceability across the entire value chain.
