As CPG industry accelerates in the digital era, rapidly changing and less predictable consumer behavior is redefining how competitive advantage is established and maintained. CPG firms must find new ways to:
- Quickly alter production lines in response to abrupt supply chain disruptions
- Rapidly reduce SKUs to control costs when products are supply constrained
- Gain access to data to better trace and document product/process end-to-end lifecycles
How CPG’s deal with these challenges will depend on two factors:
- Reinvention of “business as usual” approach to production
- Ability to rapidly adapt technology innovation
For decades, CPG firms have relied on proprietary automation systems, limiting their choices to a single supplier when more innovative solutions from different providers were available.
It’s time to move from proprietary to standardized systems with EcoStruxure Automation Expert.
EcoStruxure Automation Expert provides CPG firms with:
- Increased flexibility – Software is no longer tied to the hardware, enabling manufacturers to adapt their automation infrastructure to ever-changing supply and demand-side business conditions
- Open engineering philosophy - Centered around user experience and process improvement, rather than system technology constraints
- Cost-effective implementations – IT/OT convergence that sets the stage for autonomous systems to drive speed and agility
