Food and beverage product manufacturers are increasingly looking towards new ways to build flexibility into the inventory management and production process. Adoption of data integration, automation, analytics, energy sourcing and simulation could help companies in transforming their existing factories into intelligent manufacturing facilities to better handle these challenges without severely impacting company margins.

Factories that leverage smart manufacturing technology offer a number of benefits to manufacturers including increased productivity, enhanced efficiency and long-term cost savings. Growing awareness of modern manufacturing technologies owing to these advantages will reinforce global smart factory market share. Although high initial investment in smart factories are keeping small to medium sized enterprises at bay, expected rise in affordability of the technologies in the next few years would open up the landscape for these businesses, fueling the adoption of solutions offered by smart factory industry players.

Through this production method, Audi estimates that the factory can produce approximately 400 electric drives with just 100 employees. Audi’s initiative offers a proof of the benefits in establishing a smart factory. Several key industry players are expected to follow suit and make investments in their own visions regarding advanced manufacturing plants, significantly boosting smart factory market outlook.

Last year, the company had already implemented the proposed vision to manufacture electric motors, wherein vehicle assembly takes place at a production station with automobile components being transported between stations by driverless systems that are controlled by smart IT control systems.

The global food & beverage segment will certainly emerge as a major revenue contributor for smart factory industry due to consistent demand for packaged and frozen food products. A large global population base, that is estimated to hit 9 billion by 2050, tightening regulatory demands around food safety & quality and environmental concerns, as the food & beverage sector consumes 5% of the world’s energy, are putting immense pressure on profit margins of producers.

With growing adoption of automation technologies in the food & beverage and automotive sectors, smart factories will undoubtedly become a common trend among large and medium enterprises in the imminent future.
