IoT for Better Business
The Internet of Things, with its software technology,sensors, networks and applications, allows to achieve newlevels of productivity and efficiency in all industrial sectors.
Even the food industry is changing thanks to the IoT,involving all sectors and processes.
Scenario
The global demand for food processing machinery is expected to rise 7.6 percent per annum to $73 billion in 2019 (Freedonia Group Industry research, USA)
Investing in innovation of production processes is the strategic choice of 93% of top Italian food industries (Federalimentari, Univ. Sacro Cuore, Italy)
Offering a product with an IoT service generates margins from 5 to 10 times higher than traditional sale (St. Gallen University report)
The use of automation in food industry is expected to have an annual growth rate of 9% by 2018 (CM report)

The goal of IoT is to exploit machine intelligence to give information automatic and strategic powerful for Better Business.

Production
IoT strongly supports the production: it allows production managers to have an optimized management and a real time control of all operational steps to promptly intervene in case of need. In addition, IoT enhances flexibility in production, allowing manufacturers to manage rotations, demand variation, seasonal peaks, etc.

Logistics
IoT allows to pinpoint the current location of a “carried” product: a great benefit for the customer and an useful information for the manufacturer. The transportation becomes traceable to guarantee products’ quality.

Having access to performances and statistics helps sales team to define ad hoc proposals. The Marketing area can set targeted promotional campaigns and analyze their progresses.

Having access to machinery data allows to have a continuous and direct contact with the product and the customer. It is possible to optimize the maintenance activities, spare parts management and on-site field interventions. The result is a cost reduction for the manufacturer and a production continuity for a satisfied customer.

IoT, therefore, allows manufacturers to consider new business models, unleash new revenue sources and gain competitive advantage.Here some examples.
Coffee machines can be monitored for performance analysis and tracking of customer references. Smart fridges enable automated management of foods and drinks considering and optimizing expiry dates.
Starbucks
The American company monitors silos and conveyor belts to identify anomalies and being immediately notified (e.g. overheating of conveyor belt alarms).
TempuTech
Thanks to the smart machines “Freestyle”, the company automates stock levels, monitors wears and tears, analyzes in real-time purchases and customers preferences.
Coca-Cola
The company offers to the retail trade channel a remote control system of food machineries (slicers, meat grinder, etc.) for the purpose of predictive maintenance.
Minerva Omega Group
To guarantee food safety, the Chinese government has established an IoT platform able to track goods, manufacturers and processes.

The future food production is going to be smartand connected. In this sense, IoT must be seen as anopportunity for higher revenues and reduced costs.
Average increase achievable by adding to a product an additional service of data monitoring, originated from machines for strategic purposes.
+ 15%
Improved revenues
Reduced downtimes
- 20% Savings achievable thanks to: early identification of wears and tears and of its causes, targeted interventions and optimized spare parts replacement.
Reduced maintenance costs
- 30% Savings achievable by smart planning of: ordinary maintenance, management of wear and tear, spare parts and field interventions.
Behaviour analysis
+ 100% Monitoring the data of the machine allows analysis of the entire production process and to take specific actions where necessary, such as design as well as manufacturing to after-sales services.
Maintenance is an important issue for the correct functions of food machinery. IoT takes maintenance processes to the next level. Let’s touch this aspect.
Machines wear and tear costs time and money and can damage due orders and deliveries.
For example, the failure of a conveyor belt, stops the grinding process until the problem is identified and solved.
Failures: what a problem!
The IoT generates great opportunities: now, a malfunction of equipment can be “alerted”, predicted and fixed before it occurs.
Prevent failure with IoT
Intervention after the detection of a damage.
How maintenance is evolving
Downtime.
Replacing components regardless conditions.
Intervention when machine identifies anomalies.
Reduced downtime, maintenance costs saving.
Expensive intervention.
Predictive maintenance
Preventive maintenance
Regular maintenance
Thanks to IoT, a manufacturer has the ability to understand the current “health state” of its machinery and can anticipate future discrepancies.
Predictive maintenance
Indeed, IoT can send streams of data about a single component, a whole piece of equipment or about the overall machinery performance.
IoT means, also, big data because the data come from sensors, embedded or externally integrated.
However, tons of data alone can’t tell anything: they need to be contextualized or related to of businessissues and decisions.
This is made possible by software and applications, the true value of IoT.
