Making FMCG manufacturing more sustainable through intelligent energy management

Patricia Torres, Industry Marketing Manager Food and Commodities Solutions, OMRON Industrial Automation Europe

Some factory managers take the view that ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. This approach is understandable and, in many instances, valid – particularly if it relates to a process that took a long time to get right in the first place, or a line or machine that is running reliably.

However, as fast-moving consumer goods manufacturers embark on net zero journeys, a passive attitude towards factory automation won’t cut it. [Read more…] about Even if it ain’t broke, you still oughta fix it
