The global pandemic has accelerated the need for organizations to embrace Industry 4.0 and start realizing digital technology's potential to positively impact their business operations. In fact, a recent McKinsey study reveals that six months into the pandemic, 94% of respondents said that Industry 4.0 had helped them to keep their operations running, and 56% said these technologies had been critical to their crisis responses.
If you haven't adopted any Industry 4.0 technologies, you're not alone. Many food and beverage companies have been slow to adopt aligning technologies, yet that's no excuse to not get started. To stay competitive and meet the ever-intensifying needs of Industry 4.0, food and beverage companies must rise to the occasion and make a plan to become digitally connected.
As plant equipment and assets are crucial to the delivery of food and beverage products, this is a good place to start. If you can't use your machines, delivering to customers becomes nearly impossible. Leveraging opportunities for improved asset productivity will increase equipment uptime, extend asset lifecycles, support sustainability initiatives, minimize non-compliance issues, and reduce food and worker safety issues.
