It’s the start of awards season at ProFood World and time to start working on your submissions. If you’re among the best, you could not only be featured in the magazine, but have an opportunity to present your project to your peers at PACK EXPO International in Chicago next fall.
The Manufacturing Innovation Award (MIA) winner featured this month as our cover story represents a $150 million investment, for a 295,000-sq-ft plant that processes upwards of 40,000 turkeys a day. It’s a brand spankin’ new facility that features the latest and greatest in automation, ergonomics, and end-to-end traceability.
Sounds like a dream entry, right? OK, yeah, it truly is an impressive sight to see, and Michael Costa has written a really interesting story to take you inside and show you around all the bells and whistles. The article is definitely worth a read to learn all about Prestage’s air-chill system, food safety measures, and automation efficiencies that let them worry a whole lot less about today’s labor challenges (and create pretty satisfied workers as well).
