Goodman Fielder, a large Australian baking company, bucks the digitalization project trend by integrating system software platforms for three factories.
The food manufacturing sector is rapidly embracing automation and data-driven tools, with companies like Tyson Foods and Goodman Fielder leading the charge. From reducing labor costs to streamlining operations with advanced SCADA and MES platforms, the industry is leveraging cutting-edge technology to address workforce challenges, boost efficiency, and drive sustainable growth.
Artificial intelligence, coupled with machine learning, promises to improve plant operations from sensor level to the enterprise, but adoption has been slow with some overzealous starts.
By embracing TSN, food and beverage companies not only improve their OEE but also set the stage for a future where production lines are not just automated but intelligently interconnected and extremely flexible.
New remote service tools and robust asset management platforms enable food and beverage companies to envision AI-based strategies and facilitate product innovation across the enterprise.
