Production downtimes, material waste, supply chain tracking issues… do these challenges sound familiar?
If so, you’re not alone. Many food manufacturers struggle with issues related to poor material flow and material segregation every day.
Key challenges include:
Product Degradation: Undesirable changes such as moisture absorption, caking, microbial growth, and breakage.
Microbial Growth: Prominent in less shelf-stable in-process materials.
Product Breakage: Occurs due to impact or pressure during handling.
Material handling challenges and their costly consequences are common in the food industry, but you don’t have to accept them. With the right approach, you can fix ongoing issues and avoid problems in future.
