Asset performance is the key to the future of the food industry

LNS Research, a leading research and consulting company, has found that since 2013, an issue that remains at the forefront for the food and beverage industry is compliance with the Food Modernization and Safety Act. According to their survey, 60% cite this as their top concern, along with supply chain issues, customer preferences, raw material prices, etc..


 The food processing industry is addressing these challenges by focusing on improving asset performance to improve production efficiency and improve regulatory compliance. Given the many factors, this is not an easy task for the industry. And companies with outdated technology, or even, as the LNS puts it, “spreadsheet-based systems,” are at a particular disadvantage.

 Due to old and changed technical structures, the problem of incorporating new applications creates anxiety and insecurity. For example, when a new asset performance appraisal such as an analytics suite emerges, concerns arise about whether it will work well with existing systems.

 The LNS rightly states that the flip side of this is that "no industry will benefit more than the food and beverage sector if it focuses on the right opportunities." Eliminating the “what if” fear of outdated technology allows food companies to focus on growth and compliance.

 We believe the potential downtime that obsolete or fragmented technology inevitably brings is one of the biggest threats to the success of the food and beverage industry. Inefficient assets mean the inability to produce at a competitive level, which negatively impacts profit margins and worries shareholders and investors.

 Downtime disrupts the continuous supply chain in the food industry. Behind the curtain; profits and regulatory compliance are at risk when the production floor is shut down. Safety also becomes an issue as injuries often occur when equipment fails, plant managers have limited visibility, or systems are in maintenance mode.

 In the first place, companies at risk of downtime may seem irrelevant to a customer base that is quick to spot problems on social media. Even food giant Hershey learned that downtime can be an expensive public relations event when they were unable to deliver $ 100 million worth of Halloween candy in 1999 due to technical issues.

 Our previously recorded webinar with the food engineering media addresses the asset performance challenges facing the food and beverage industry and identifying possible solutions. During the webcast, we covered how to reduce the complexity of existing and legacy systems and add built-in redundancy to avoid downtime.

 In addition, viewers will learn how the food and beverage industry can prepare for the expansion that Industry 4.0 brings. This includes advanced computing, a concept that is poised for explosive growth in the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) world.
