In a digital age where all data can be stored electronically, the most valuable proposition of software — especially those in manufacturing applications — is to reduce friction between humans and software and between software packages.
Knowing how to get started and where to integrate new systems is key to success, as is having a balanced approach that values human expertise alongside technological development.
When asked to prioritize technologies, more than 80% of respondents listed every option as essential, underscoring the confusion that prevents decisive action.

As much as food and beverage companies stand to gain from digital transformation, they also stand to lose big if their tech investments fail to deliver on promised value.
ON DEMAND: The world is rapidly changing and large food and beverage producers are adopting automation and digitalization technologies that give them a competitive edge, allowing them to produce more efficiently and provide insightful information for decision making. Producers who lag behind will themselves be unable to compete. Technologies that used to be optional are now required for plants that want to remain competitive in a rapidly changing, cost-competitive landscape.
ON DEMAND: Over the past years, the manufacturing industry has experienced massive changes worldwide and the situation continues to evolve further. Highly informed and demanding consumers are shaping the market, supply chains keep remodelling into complex ecosystems and digital transformation keeps being a key player in revolutionizing the way manufacturer sites work.
ON DEMAND: This year has created a number of challenges for food and beverage manufacturers, and the short- and long-term effects have been dramatic. Digital solutions for manufacturing operations can help processors understand and tackle those challenges while maintaining flexibility and efficiency.
