The food and beverage consumption market is ushering in a recovery period after the epidemic, and consumer confidence is being rebuilt. In the fierce market competition, consumers have higher and higher requirements for food safety, supply chain is in short supply, and labor costs continue to rise; At the same time, the goal of “carbon neutrality” also puts forward strict requirements for the green and sustainable development of the food and beverage industry.

In this regard, Neil Smith, president of the fast moving Consumer goods sector business of Schneider Electric, said: “At present, digital technology is developing rapidly, but the operation of the food and beverage production line is lagging behind. Food and beverage producers urgently need to leverage digital technologies to streamline operations, deploy smarter machines, connect production lines, and integrate the entire production process from raw materials and supply chains to product delivery. At the same time, digital transformation is not only technical, it is a comprehensive and systematic process that requires an open mind and good management philosophy.”
