Speaking at the ProFood Tech Innovation Zone yesterday, Sasha Ilyukhin from Tetra Pak said that the food and beverage industry needs to embrace a customer-centric environment by driving digital through an organizational transformation. “Digital transformation equals human transformation,” said Ilyukhin.

Productivity solutions are more effective with digital technologies, said Ilyukhin, and by combining current productivity solutions with Industry 4.0 digital technology solutions there can be up to a 40% cost reduction to the manufacturer.

Current technologies that are disrupting businesses:

Big Data, Industrial IoT and Cyber security

Some examples include using IoT to predict failures before they happen, and using the advanced analytics of Big Data. Ilyukhin said that currently for IoT, the cost of entry is low.

With cyber security, there is a need to protect infrastructure, and if your company doesn’t already have a CDO (Chief Defense Operation), it definitely should.
