Agribusiness
Productivity and sustainability in agribusiness industries. To meet individual customer requests quickly and in the highest quality, agribusiness industry relies on maximum flexibility and productivity. At the same time, sustainability is an important factor in the industry’s success. With digital solutions we help you to master the digital transformation in production, buildings and infrastructure and to achieve a sustainable energy transition
Are you familiar with our digital approaches to greater productivity and sustainability?
Tap new optimization potential in buildings and production facilities as well as in power supply in the food industry. From research and development to automation, logistics, power supply, and building management, we help you produce high-quality food while also boosting your productivity and sustainability.
How can you turn productivity and sustainability into new competitive advantages?
The impact of food production on the environment is playing an increasingly important role. How much CO2 do production processes generate and how much water do they pollute? How much waste is created by the packaging? Along with the desire for a more personalized portfolio, product sustainability is playing an increasingly more significant role in purchase decisions.
How can you reduce your CO2 footprint?
Sustainability as a competitive advantage
The solution is to consider the entire facilities, processes, buildings, and infrastructure regarding their environmental impact. This means: optimize your energy consumption – by making use of greater transparency to improve your energy efficiency. Based on this holistic approach, first decarbonization measures are triggered. Furthermore, this implies the transition to renewables and the efficient use of resources. You’ll make significant savings, in addition to helping the environment. And as a result, you’ll achieve your decarbonization targets.
How to ensure resilient power supply and safe operation?
Securing productivity in the long term
Reliable production isn’t an option if your plant doesn’t have a dependable energy supply. But even that isn’t enough, if you want to ensure uninterrupted operations: The safety and security of people, products, and processes must be ensured at all times, in production facilities as well as in office and administrative buildings. A digital production and smart building management system help you to reduce time to market, minimize energy consumption and increase productivity.
How can you quickly adapt to changing consumer preferences?
Maximize flexibility
Trends and rapidly changing customer requirements characterize the agribusiness industry. New products must be developed quickly in order to manufacture them reliably and in top quality using production facilities adapted with equal speed. Innovative solutions help you to design, engineer, configure and validate personalized products as well as the production. This enables you to leverage complexity and gives you a competitive advantage.
How can you enable a transparent production?
New level of transparency
Where is the largest amount of energy consumption on your shop floor and in your buildings, and how can you optimize consumption without affecting productivity? Data and consequent data management are the key to a new level of transparency that will help you make right and quick decisions. Intelligent power management and monitoring tools empower you to optimize energy consumption and efficiency across the facility in order to use resources as efficiently and productively as possible.

How can you master your company's digital transformation successfully?
Successfully implementing your digital transformation
Where to start, how to do it, what are the next steps? Getting advice at the start of your digital journey helps you set off in the right direction. The steps toward accessing the data you need are to establish IT and OT connectivity within the company: we link the real world with the digital world so you can intelligently use the data generated within your company. What does that mean? Connecting intelligent devices as well as gathering and analyzing big data from buildings, energy supply and production lines together with artificial intelligence will support your digital transformation.
Growing product diversity on the one hand, increasing cost pressure on the other hand: to be successful in the bakery and confectionery industry it takes a production that’s equally flexible and economic. Digitalization can help to create consistent automation, from raw material intake to shipping, from field to ERP level. Benefit from efficient workflows that enable highest quality at reduced costs.
The oceans cover more than 70 percent of the earth. Only 2 to 3 percent of the global food production comes from the oceans. Still, the oceans are dramatically overfished. More than 100 million tons of fish are consumed worldwide – more than the fish population can produce. In order to produce sufficient animal protein from seafood in a sustainable way, aquaculture is becoming increasingly important.
The megatrend of customization also extends to the consumer goods industry. Demand for increasingly personalized and individualized products with extremely short delivery times and affordable prices is creating new challenges for manufacturers. Thanks to digitalization new approaches can be adopted in product recipe formulation as well as packaging design.
In 2020, there are around 7.8 billion people living on Earth. For the year 2100, the United Nations forecast 10.87 billion people and, as a result, a continued growth in demand for animal protein. Meeting this demand while, at the same time, conserving the planet's resources is an enormous challenge for companies.
Consumers alert to trends rather than traditional beer drinkers: breweries have to adapt to a changing market that is also being served by an increasing number of new providers. To survive and succeed, breweries need to expand their portfolios both cost-efficiently and in line with the highest quality standards. Digitalization plays a key role in this process. It gives them the tools to be able to respond quickly, flexibly and cost-efficiently to current market demands, with no loss of quality. Digitalization makes the flood of data in breweries transparent and easy to follow: from stock receipt to shipping, from the brewing vat to management, and from product development to the glass.
The food industry is facing growing challenges because of the constant increase in the world’s population. There will probably be ten billion people on the Earth by 2050 – and what will they eat? It isn’t only cultivable land that is in short supply; water is also becoming scarcer. With traditional watering, most of the water doesn’t reach the plant at all. New ways of smart farming are needed to react to the increasing pressure on the food industry.
