Challenges for the food & beverage industry
The food industry is facing significant challenges including the global supply of raw materials, food processing and food retailing, and constantly increasing consumer demands in relation to product variety, quality and packaging.
To deal with the associated competitive pressures, manufacturers are relying on flexible processes, quick response times, and the greatest possible degree of automation. These measures allow for shortened development cycles, cost reduction and ultimately, end products are optimized to best meet market requirements. This is achieved, by using robots, drones and sensors, and increasing intelligent software programs that facilitate needs-based production.
