In the food and beverage industry, there are two competing factors that must be balanced in order to achieve success: increasing/maintaining market share and ensuring global sustainability. In a world experiencing significant population growth, there is more awareness than ever of raw material shortages and reducing waste and energy consumption. Yet the goal is not just to offer more affordable products, but also products that customers are happier to buy. Against this background, we are witnessing a new industrial revolution that relies on true integrated automation to pave the way to innovation in this unique industrial sector. This trend shifts the focus to new production criteria: optimizing machine and line flexibility, enhancing connectivity and improving performance. For end users in the food and beverage industry, these are the factors with the most significant impact on primary investment goals such as guaranteed return on investment, shorter time to market, reduced total cost of ownership, improved overall equipment efficiency and total predictive maintenance.
