The Food and Beverage industry faces unprecedented regulation as consumers and governments worldwide demand high levels of safety and quality control for food, including “farm-to-fork” and “boat-to-plate” traceability. Major trends are creating quality control challenges for Food and Beverage manufacturers including:
- An increasingly global Food and Beverage supply chain
- A growing number of recalls—a fourfold increase in just 5 years
- Average recall costs of $10 million
In addition to regulatory compliance, quality managers need better real-time visibility—within plants, across plants, and all along their global supply chain to proactively:
- Reduce risks
- Improve product consistency
- Reduce costs
