The food and beverage industry is undergoing a digital transformation. From large corporations to smaller, more flexible brands, companies are using digital technologies to collect more data regarding their workflow processes and to ensure safety and quality in food processing, packaging, and distribution. They use this information to transform their production systems and redefine how employees, processes, and assets work in the new environment.
Data is the foundation of this digital revolution. Manufacturers are using smart sensors to understand how their equipment works, and they are collecting data in real time to monitor energy consumption and evaluate product and service performance. These data points help manufacturers optimize production while ensuring and improving food safety controls.
