IT solutions to help food manufacturers and processors navigate the many operational challenges they are currently experiencing will be demonstrated by CSB-System at the forthcoming IFE exhibition in London from March 25th to 27th.
Companies today are dealing with issues such as supply chain disruptions, fluctuating raw material prices, labour shortages, and changing regulatory compliance. Experts on the CSB stand will explain how CSB’s industry-specific ERP systems, which can be tailored to precise customer requirements, enable companies to make decisions faster, operate more efficiently and increase their resilience. This helps them maximise opportunities and grow their business in competitive markets.
CSB’s market-leading integrated ERP, MES and automation solutions ensure the effective flow of data from sales orders, raw material purchases and planning through production and packing to onward delivery. Suitable for businesses of differing sizes and types, they range from centrally controlled turnkey operations for international corporations to best-practice systems ideal for small- and medium- to group-sized enterprises. All support digitised and automated food production lines in achieving higher efficiencies and are a key element in the move to Industry 4.0 and the Smart Food Factory.
The availability of a single central database that links all areas of operation with live and remote monitoring can deliver improved OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and provide the information for in-depth reporting and KPI monitoring. This helps to ensure businesses can meet the standards for national and international legislation and accreditations, as well as individual customer requirements.
CSB’s advanced software also includes modules for enhanced quality monitoring and forecasting, along with comprehensive traceability that allows companies to easily monitor and report back on the progress or whereabouts of a product.
Visitors to the stand at IFE will be able to take a virtual tour of the CSB digitalised factory to learn about best-practice processes that have enabled many leading businesses to effectively control and optimise their processes. The tour gives people the opportunity to go anywhere they want inside the factory to see how the system works and visualise the huge potential of digitalisation.
CSB will also demonstrate its latest initiatives that help companies maximise opportunities for digital growth in areas such as e-commerce platforms and web shops.
