About the food manufacturing process

Food and beverage manufacturers must remain ahead in their field, and the operational efficiency of their plants and factories is a critical factor. Food and beverage technology can assist with optimising efficiencies to support the success of the business.

Today’s operations managers are facing a plethora of pressures. Aside from increasing costs, other areas of focus are the continual demand for increased operational efficiency and throughput without compromising hygiene, food safety and product quality.

APC Technology can collaborate with your organisation to design, manufacture or supply complete end-of-the-line food processing and packaging solutions to automate industry operations and improve your bottom line. From prototyping, testing, and manufacture to maintenance, we provide a wide range of services to assist in the design and commissioning of food technology equipment.

Benefits of food manufacturing technology in supply chain management

Integrating food and beverage technology into your automation systems can significantly contribute towards a journey from farm, plant to fork. The food and beverage industry is the crucial link in that process. Gaining a competitive edge in the industry can be achieved through the integration of new manufacturing technologies. Benefits could include :

  • Increased output through food tech: Our ruggedised solutions can support a business to increase output through technological improvements with the objective to scale to larger batch production. Food tech also ensures improved food safety and shelf-life, and strict quality control.
  • Stay ahead of the competition: The food and beverage industry faces the challenges of stricter product requirements as well as larger volumes at lower prices. Therefore, higher efficiency and labour productivity are a must to remain competitive. Simultaneously, society and consumers are demanding more in terms of sustainability and health. Therefore, digitilisation and integration of cutting-edge automation systems can enable businesses to respond to this demand.
  • Increased predictability while mitigating pain points: Digitalisation of your processes can contribute towards streamlined production lines. Moreover, food tech encourages stricter maintenance inspection opportunities.
