BITE SIZE STEPS TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE FOOD & BEVERAGE INDUSTRY
WEBINAR
Wednesday, 4 March 2021
1pm-2pm (AEDT)
Food and Beverage manufacturers are faced with the constant challenges of introducing new products to the market, providing greater transparency into ingredients and their source, all while driving for productivity of their workforce and associated assets. Creating a digital thread for your business can be a key enabler to assist in addressing these challenges. This webinar will discuss how the digital thread can connect recipe and product design with production execution and process performance to drive efficiencies and provide insights. We will also touch on questions we often hear such as where is the value, where do I start, how can I leverage my existing systems and how can we make bite sized investments that provide the capability and value you need now and into the future.
