While there have been many success stories, blockchain technologies are still developing, so producers and processors will need to examine their needs carefully
Blockchain providers are working hard to gain the acceptance of food and beverage processors—no matter their size, and standard datasets like GS1 are helping to define the rules for consistent information handling.
Many large food and beverage manufacturers have their own engineering staffs, which provide system integration and automation services to their various facilities. However, most medium- and small-sized processors often don’t have these capabilities—and may have just a single plant engineer.
Sustainability has become a necessary part of plant design and construction projects. The next step is leveraging your automation capabilities to help meet—and exceed—sustainability goals

If you visit AriZona Beverages’ website and click on “Who’s Thirsty?” it seems that once you start scrolling through available beverages, you’ll never get to the end.
