Today, every industry uses data to inform action in real time. When you deploy software in your factory, you provision your operation with a rich source of data for generating insights and analysis. You can take advantage of data intelligence, live and historical, to clarify decision-making and gain a competitive edge. This kind of visibility into processes—from reception to dispatch—drives ongoing optimizations that promote high-quality finished goods.
Introducing automated food processing
The end-to-end implementation of software for your operation is known as a manufacturing execution system (MES). The adoption of data-centric digital automation is also called digitalization. The Marel software family of food processing applications is modular and scalable—so you can customize your automated factory. These advanced digitalization solutions promote best practices in planning, food safety, performance, and production.
Connected machines across the factory
Realize the benefits
By linking together processing environments with a continuous flow of data, you become more agile and responsive to the realities of your operation.
Ensure product consistency
Achieve consistent control over food quality with production benchmarks and an uninterrupted traceability chain.
Increase line efficiency
Optimize throughput, yield, uptime, and productivity by connecting equipment and processes to function as a single entity.
Reduce labor dependency
Automate routine tasks, empower workers for success, create fulfilling roles, and reduce vulnerability to labor shortages.
Enhance order fulfillment
Take centralized control of your factory’s value chain to ensure accurate and timely shipments and retain customers.
How to automate data-driven decision-making in your food operation
Planning is vital to a digitalization deployment. Marel partners with you to define your goals, select a solution provider, and manage change. You want to make sure your team understands the value that real-time data can bring to food processing. You need to integrate systems and data “islands” in your organization. The implementation—which takes your operation to the next level of processing—can be done in phases.
