LEVITON Industrial Infrastructure Perspectives
We build what’s next to light, and power, and connect everyday spaces.
Industrial Infrastructure Perspectives
How IT and facility professionals support the priorities of food and beverage Food and Beverage processing facilities are faced with a growing number of opportunities and challenges to increase operational efficiencies while keeping safety and the environment top of mind. Food and beverage facility managers are prioritizing the challenges of AI and IIoT, sustainability, safety and compliance, operational efficiency, and supply chain management.
Adopting the latest controls, lighting, electrical, and network solutions can help alleviate the above-changing demands and enable the goals of food and beverage facilities, IT, and engineering stakeholders.
Industry 4.0, AI and IIoT
Innovations in AI and IIoT provide real-time data and predictive maintenance
allowing facility operators to make more precise, data-driven operational
decisions. Embracing these technologies enables high production efficiency,
minimal downtime, and resource optimization while reducing health and safety
risks in food and beverage processing facilities.
Sustainability
With up to 40 per cent of the world’s food lost or wasted every year,
implementing sustainable practices in the food and beverage industry is a top
priority. This ambition is also driven by consumer preferences for foods that
are produced sustainably. Food and beverage facilities are also challenged
with aligning their operations with evolving sustainability targets and
managing energy consumption to reduce their manufacturing carbon footprint.
Safety and Compliance
Despite significant advancements in manufacturing technology, recent reports
show that the number of food recalls in the U.S. has increased, costing the
food industry more than $10 million. This has led to more regulations and
preventative measures against foodborne outbreaks, particularly with the Food
Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA). However, worker safety as well as OSHA
fines is just as important for facility managers to address. Ensuring safe
lighting, code code-compliant electrical equipment are installed and
maintained in these dynamic environments is paramount.
Operational Efficiency
Efficiency is imperative in today’s food and beverage facilities to remain
profitable and to meet evolving consumer, environmental, and competitive
demands. Updating old technologies, integrating AI and IIOT, and streamlining
production processes can improve operational output while minimizing waste and
downtime.
Supply Chain Management
From natural disasters to the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions are
heightened due to varying global events. Leveraging solutions that promote
electrical safety and offer real-time data with remote access abilities can
help operators better predict potential risks and minimize interruptions for
seamless supply chain processes.
