Pressures on the Food and Beverage/Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industries have reached an all-time high. Over the course of the past decade, the amount of product variations have soared, alongside the momentum of new product introductions.

Brands are becoming increasingly global and valuable, shining a new spotlight on food safety as well as brand integrity. This wide reach has also resulted in an increase in competitiveness, driving a sharp focus on cost reduction and manufacturing efficiency.

Consumers demand more, with decreased brand loyalty. These factors increase the importance of avoiding out-of-stock scenarios, as well as presenting a consistent customer experience and bringing the best and most current products to market rapidly.

Additionally, there is a need for more self-regulating, stringent corrective and preventative food safety measures, driven by industry regulations.

With vast experience serving the food industry, and offering the broadest and most up-to-date software portfolio, IS³ is the proven, safe and modern choice for food and beverage manufacturing.

Blockbuster medications are a thing of the past. These days, the pharmaceutical industry is moving towards personalised, targeted medicines. AVEVA assists medicine manufacturers and biotechnology companies in ensuring product integrity as well as regulatory compliance, while revolutionising their operations through smart manufacturing.

In order to stay competitive in today’s cut-throat market environment, the life sciences ecosystem has to be highly efficient and fully connected – from production to distribution.
This translates to having smart equipment connected with the enterprise in real-time, in order to push critical process data.

It entails making use of smart processes that support release by exception through rapid and efficient quality and production processes. It means smart suppliers providing consistent batch reports across the manufacturing network, as well as smart supply chains supporting serialised global track-and-trace.

South Africa is internationally renowned for its wealth of mineral resources, as well as its expertise in mineral extraction. But there is more to being a roleplayer in this complex industry than reputation. Mining is one of the most competitive industries on earth. It relies on human labour as much as it does on technological advancements and expertise.

Fixed resource prices on the open market mean the only way to increase turnover is to increase mining volumes. It also means the only way to increase profitability is to
reduce costs in the face of ever-increasing energy and raw material costs.

In these times, the way to create shareholder value is through efficient mining practices, improved product quality and the ability to show employees that their demands are being considered in the face of these global realities. Doing so might mitigate industrial action and grow the spirit of competition required to restore this industry to its previous standard of excellence.

To succeed, you require a strategy spanning your global portfolio – across the entire asset lifecycle. In other words, managing your assets safely and securely, maximising production while increasing profitability.

Digital technology can help you to unite, analyse and manage your engineering data, processes and supply chain in the most efficient, intelligent manner. It can also empower you to operate with the utmost levels of corporate social responsibility.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) provides the link that shifts hydrocarbon industries to new levels of connectivity. Now, you can achieve – and sustain – improvements through AVEVA’s connectivity, operations and information management solutions for oil and gas.
