eHandbook: Automation and the Food Plant of the Future

Dec. 7, 2023
Along with more automation in general, food and beverage plants are adding sensors, flexibility, a touch of artificial intelligence -- and the ability to feed more people with fewer resources and less impact on the planet.

Automation stands tall for its ability to reduce the number of workers needed while increasing production capacity and flexibility and minimizing waste. Enabling that level of automation are sensors, the industrial internet and, slowly, artificial intelligence. This ebook will delve into all those subjects, plus a look at how electric automation offers opportunities to upgrade case packer functions such as box-forming and palletizing.
