The digital future of food and beverage

The food and beverage industry encounters a diverse array of challenges attributed to its intricate nature, expansive supply chain, and the constantly evolving preferences of consumers regarding quality, safety, and ecological impact. Rising inflation, the global climate crisis and the increasing demand for product transparency and traceability means that companies are turning to technology to increase supply chain agility, inform their supplier choices and improve sales and improve service effectiveness.

Shaping factories of the future: embracing Industry 4.0

Currently, we do not see the revolutionary effects we would expect from Industry 4.0. Many businesses have embraced advanced robotics, AI, IoT, digital twins and other enabling technologies, but are somewhat underwhelmed by the results. So, why is the impact of Industry 4.0 technologies on productivity and value so slow to materialise? 

Join us for an insightful webinar on Industry 4.0, where we will explore the revolutionary effects that enabling technologies can bring to your organisation. 

A new era for supply chain organisations

To stay competitive, food and beverage manufacturers must be able to adapt quickly and effectively to changing market trends and identify bottlenecks and product inefficiencies before they have an impact. At the same time they must maintain high quality standards whilst reducing costs and minimising their environmental impact. 

The key to success lies in optimising supply chain processes to increase agility, efficiency and productivity - which in turn will guarantee consistent product quality and a reduced carbon footprint.
