How IOT Affects Food Processing

 

In the world of food processing, Industrial IOT is looking to change the face of how we process our favorite foods. In the dairy industry, Agropur, a North American leader in dairy processing, recently added an integrated control and information system from Rockwell. This has allowed them to be more efficient with their time and resources through the production process. Similarly, Maple Leaf Foods, a canadian based meat production company, implemented IOT solutions into their Hamilton, Ontario facility. The plant saw a significant increase in efficiency and cost savings by being able to learn about production problems in real time and act accordingly. Sean Barry, MindSphere food and beverage developer said, “For those involved in the manufacturing world, IIoT has created an environment where every data source corresponds with an opportunity.” As our need for food production will only increase in the future, IOT solutions look to be the way forward.

3 Simple Changes to Improve Your CCS
December 22, 2025

Contamination control failures rarely stem from complex science; more often, they’re the result of everyday practices that haven’t evolved with modern cleanroom demands. Simple shifts—like cleaning in a strict top-to-bottom flow, choosing materials that trap submicron particles instead of redistributing them, and standardizing tools so operators aren’t improvising—can dramatically reduce risk while improving efficiency….

December 22, 2025

In an era where supply chain volatility can stall production overnight, smart inventory strategy has become a competitive advantage. Benchmark’s no-cost inventory reserve model flips the traditional risk equation by letting manufacturers lock in dedicated stock—on their own timeline—without tying up capital or warehouse space. It’s a practical reminder that reliability isn’t just about…

How to Clean Large Corridors Faster
December 22, 2025

In many industrial and CNC environments, cleaning routines quietly drain productivity because teams rely on tools designed for much smaller spaces. Upsizing something as simple as a mop—from a 16-inch head to a 36-inch, purpose-built option—can dramatically reduce fatigue while helping crews cover more ground in less time. It’s a reminder that operational efficiency…
