Three major food/beverage companies described their “digital transformations” at the Rockwell Automation Fair Food & Beverage Forum. While each described differing approaches to the digitalization process, all three—and those in the audience—are striving for the same goals, said moderator Dave Sharpe, Rockwell global industry director for consumer packaged goods.
Sharpe summed up some of these goals: “How do you improve asset utilization and yield, manage your workforce, then optimize resources to make sure you’re running efficiently, managing security risks … getting connected in a secure fashion and maintaining food safety?”
