Packaging and food sector digitalization and automation

Overview

Developments in the packaging and food sectors are increasingly focused on digitalization, automation, and sustainability. In Spain, Ecoembes and Inetum have formed an alliance to create interoperable digital solutions for better packaging management and traceability, specifically to assist with regulatory compliance. Additionally, the ITENE initiative is working to bridge the gap between R&D and the business community to promote circular economy principles and the transfer of sustainable materials.

Industrial automation is also being deployed to improve efficiency. In Mexico, Tetra Pak is utilizing artificial intelligence and its ‘Tetra Pak Factory OS’ platform to integrate industrial data with business decisions, aiming to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Similarly, in Zaragoza, Spain, the food producer bonÀrea has implemented automated production lines for nut packaging that incorporate high-speed dosing, X-ray inspection, and robotic packing to increase production flexibility.
