See for yourself how digitalization with SAP S/4HANA can change your industry:

Digitalization in the food industry
Drinks
Diverse requirements and specially developed production processes are the special challenge of the beverage industry. Breweries deal with empties, home brewing, beer tax or the management of rental and hire equipment. A distillery with distillation processes. Optimum utilization of production capacity is important to everyone. Tailor-made solutions for the beverage industry are our specialty.

Digitalization in the food industry
Meat and sausage products
In addition to high energy costs and high material usage, the challenges faced by the meat products industry include compliance with a large number of legal requirements. Traceability of goods, palletizing and barcode labels are just a few examples, along with compliance with weight limits. Medium-sized companies in the sector in particular that want to be successful in the long term should make all costs and processes transparent. Digital value creation takes place where processes run in real time and data is interlinked, whether in warehouse or catch weight management.


Digitalization in the food industry
Dairy industry
High quality and safety standards apply to the dairy industry. Combined with growing price pressure, economic efficiency plays a decisive role. Digital networking concepts in the form of system visualization and automatic monitoring concepts help dairies to monitor processes, detect deviations and record them digitally. In terms of “predictive maintenance”, errors in production, raw material losses or complaint rates can be reduced.
Digitalization in the food industry
Confectionery and baked goods
The confectionery sector is the export king of the food industry. It is important for the internationalization strategy to identify the trends and drivers in the target markets. Confectionery manufacturers have understood how to see consumer needs as an opportunity and fulfill them with new products along the customer journey. Recipes and the correct labeling of nutritional values play an essential role here. There are also variants with reduced sugar, fat or salt content as well as a wide range of portion and packaging sizes. The confectionery industry is working intensively on the efficient use of resources. Increased raw material prices demand high-quality recipe management and scalable production planning. Recyclable packaging and batch traceability require a balancing act between hygiene requirements and environmental and resource protection.


Digitalization in the food industry
Frozen, fish & ready meals
The extensive range of frozen foods extends across all sectors. Depending on the product group, different requirements are placed on the individual value chains. Sustainability issues such as product quality, water consumption, animal welfare and resource efficiency are becoming increasingly important. In particular, the use of energy for cooling and the associated use of refrigerants is an important factor for the frozen food industry and its energy balance. Maintaining cold chains of at least -18°C throughout and using appropriate packaging materials ensures the hygienic quality of the products and should ideally be controlled from goods procurement to transport logistics with the help of real-time monitoring.
