How to Utilize Big Data to Enhance Manufacturing Processes.

Big data analytics (BDA), the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), artificial intelligence, machine learning, digitization and the cloud cause manufacturers to consider the disruptive potential these new technologies can have on their market and processes.

A new white paper, produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies notes that the automotive, electronics and aerospace industries have been quick in adopting technologies while the food and beverage processing sector has been more cautious.

Yet there are myriad opportunities for implementing BDA in food and beverage processingto improve food safety, support product customization and improve product sorting.

Manufacturers are facing many challenges that are motivating them to introduce or expand BDA solutions. These challenges include the need for increased efficiency, reduced downtime, quality management, flexibility and cost savings. To address these challenges, manufacturers are leveraging smart technologies that include networking/connectivity, the cloud/edge data storage, as well as remote monitoring.
