Changing the Dynamics of Global Bakery and Snack Food Industry Through Technology

The global bakery and snack food industries are dynamic, and software technology can assist in overcoming numerous obstacles and streamlining processes.

Fremont, CA: Technology has aided in the productivity and production of baked goods and facilitating contact between customers, and providing remote services during the pandemic. As trends in the confectionery and bakery industries evolve, machinery must adapt to meet these demands, assisting businesses in discovering more effective ways to manufacture products, streamlining operations, and maximizing customer profitability.

With many enterprises investing in innovation centers, customers now have the flexibility and freedom to experiment with a range of ingredients, formulas, and product ideas until they achieve their objectives. Without the development of technical methods that enable precise testing and experimentation, this breakthrough would be unattainable.

Continuous mixing technology

Exact continuous mixers are available in a range of capacities, from 50 to 10,000 kg/hour. They are constructed using Loss-in-Weight technology, the most precise feeding system currently available. Additionally, the control system monitors and initiates all metering and mixing procedures, allowing the operator to always confirm and change as necessary.

The Exact Mixing MX Continuous Mixer, for instance, is RBS's most flexible mixer. It produces dough at a pace of 50 to 2,000 kg per hour and is the most versatile mixer. It is an excellent choice for a variety of products, including cookies, snacks, pizza, batters, icings, and pastes.

Additionally, new goods and recipes are developed in collaboration with clients in the FRITSCH Bakery World – for bakery items that, according to the firm, will continue to inspire craft bakers and industrial customers to inspire their markets in the future.

Efficiency and simplifying processes

CSB-IT System's solutions have taken digitalization to a new level at the international Swiss food giant Bell Food Group's Spanish facilities. The manufacturing facilities have been upgraded to an entirely new degree of efficiency during the last four months, the company reports. Until recently, redundant work processes and insufficient data were significant cost drivers. One of the most critical objectives was to transition from paper-based data capture to digital information flow in areas such as recipe processing, purchase order processing, and traceability.
