Food and Beverage Automation

Today’s consumers expect more than good-tasting food. They also demand transparent nutritional value, minimal environmental impact and more. This leaves suppliers with a nuanced responsibility to fulfill the desires of their customer base while keeping costs low in the process.

Automation infrastructure facilitates just that: improved quality control, ensured food safety, increased production process/operational efficiency and enhanced ingredient visibility, among other benefits — all at a fraction of the cost.

The benefits of automation aren’t a new topic of discussion, hence why waves of organizations are making — or at least considering — adjustments to their supply chain to automate where favorable. The reasons are manifold:

• Automation increases operational efficiency: With 24/7 functionality, automation minimizes the downtime typically associated with manual labor, translating to a significant boost in output. Additionally, efficiency is increased through the analytics provided by automation systems, enabling companies to make supply chain adjustments accordingly.


• Automation facilitates scalability: Naturally, automation enables you to scale your operations up or down based on need. Further still, automation facilitates prompt scalability, allowing businesses to quickly adapt to market fluctuations.


• Automation improves quality control: Supply chains and their associated processes involve a plethora of touchpoints, making it difficult for a business to systematically and reliably assess the quality of their food and/or beverages. Notably, automation reduces human error and ensures consistency while simultaneously maximizing ingredient use and adhering to predetermined health standards.


• Automation reduces costs: Perhaps most notably, automated processes reduce costs in more ways than one — they remove the need for a large workforce, minimize food waste and are able to work around the clock, among other cost saving benefits.
