In the practice-oriented webinars you will learn how our customers were able to optimize their systems successfully and how you can implement these findings for your company.
How can you turn productivity and sustainability into new competitive advantages?
The impact of food production on the environment is playing an increasingly important role. How much CO2 do production processes generate and how much water do they pollute? How much waste is created by the packaging? Along with the desire for a more personalized portfolio, product sustainability is playing an increasingly more significant role in purchase decisions.Sustainability as a competitive advantage
The solution is to consider the entire facilities, processes, buildings, and infrastructure regarding their environmental impact. This means: optimize your energy consumption – by making use of greater transparency to improve your energy efficiency. Based on this holistic approach, first decarbonization measures are triggered. Furthermore, this implies the transition to renewables and the efficient use of resources. You’ll make significant savings, in addition to helping the environment. And as a result, you’ll achieve your decarbonization targets.
Securing productivity in the long term
Reliable production isn’t an option if your plant doesn’t have a dependable energy supply. But even that isn’t enough, if you want to ensure uninterrupted operations: The safety and security of people, products, and processes must be ensured at all times, in production facilities as well as in office and administrative buildings. A digital production and smart building management system help you to reduce time to market, minimize energy consumption and increase productivity.
Maximize flexibility
Trends and rapidly changing customer requirements characterize the food and beverage industry. New products must be developed quickly in order to manufacture them reliably and in top quality using production facilities adapted with equal speed. Innovative solutions help you to design, engineer, configure and validate personalized products as well as the production. This enables you to leverage complexity and gives you a competitive advantage.
New level of transparency
Where is the largest amount of energy consumption on your shop floor and in your buildings, and how can you optimize consumption without affecting productivity? Data and consequent data management are the key to a new level of transparency that will help you make right and quick decisions. Intelligent power management and monitoring tools empower you to optimize energy consumption and efficiency across the facility in order to use resources as efficiently and productively as possible.
Successfully implementing your digital transformation
Where to start, how to do it, what are the next steps? Getting advice at the start of your digital journey helps you set off in the right direction. The steps toward accessing the data you need are to establish IT and OT connectivity within the company: we link the real world with the digital world so you can intelligently use the data generated within your company. What does that mean? Connecting intelligent devices as well as gathering and analyzing big data from buildings, energy supply and production lines together with digital twins and artificial intelligence will support your digital transformation.
Flexible production with the digital twin
By linking and making smart use of all product and production-relevant data, companies in the food and beverage industry can respond more quickly to unexpected events and market requirements. That’s exactly what you get with our Digital Enterprise portfolio, which links the real and digital worlds. It’s all made possible by a comprehensive digital twin, which integrates the entire product lifecycle with the factory and/or plant lifecycle and performance data. The result is a continuous cycle of optimization for products and production. Watch the video to learn more!
Smart buildings and secure energy optimize your production
Production facilities and processes should operate with optimal efficiency. But in the food industry, a company’s production environment can also have a significant impact on product quality, sustainability, and operating costs. A smart building infrastructure, the efficient use of energy, and a sustainable power supply are thus crucial to business enterprises.
