Geeky News Announces New Article on Industrial Automation in the F-B Industry

Nov 9, 2023



Surrey, United Kingdom Nov 9, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Geeky News, a leading technology and lifestyle journal, is pleased to announce the publication of a thought-provoking article. Titled "Industrial Automation Helps F&B Industry Deal With Labour Challenges," the article delves into the critical issue of labour shortage faced by the food and beverage (F&B) industry. It also explores how industrial automation is emerging as a transformative solution.

According to Geeky News, the F&B industry has grappled with persistent labour challenges, which have been further exacerbated by the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Research and Markets, the food automation market is projected to reach a remarkable US$17.46 billion by 2026. That's a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.63%.

The article outlines the various factors contributing to the labour shortage crisis in the F&B sector, including the pandemic's lingering effects, high turnover rates, and a deficit of skilled workers. It emphasises how these challenges have prompted a rapid shift towards industrial automation. The global operational stock of industrial robots grew by 8.6% in 2020, as reported by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).

The article discusses how health concerns and pandemic-related restrictions have led to a reluctance among workers to return to their jobs, resulting in a significant decrease in the workforce.

It addresses the low-paying nature of jobs in the F&B industry, coupled with limited career opportunities, contributing to a high turnover rate. The pandemic has intensified these issues, leading to burnout among workers.

The article explores the worsening skilled labour deficit in the F&B industry, with one in two companies identifying sourcing skilled labour as a pressing need.

The article highlights the increasing adoption of next-gen technologies such as robotics, data processing, digital twins, and the Internet of Things (IoT) as a long-term solution to the labour challenges faced by the F&B industry.

It details how automation, including collaborative robots (cobots) and automated control systems, can handle arduous and repetitive tasks with high accuracy, leading to a reduction in the need for extensive manual labour. The scalability of automated systems based on demand is also emphasised.

The article cites a study showing that automation in the food industry can lead to a labour cost reduction of up to 70%, making it an economically viable solution for F&B businesses.

Acknowledging the ongoing labour shortage challenges, the article suggests that investing in and implementing automation is a strategic way for F&B businesses to future-proof their operations. It also points out that companies like Process Automation Solutions could help businesses with the transition.

Geeky News encourages readers to explore the full article to gain insights into the transformative impact of industrial automation on the F&B industry and its potential to enhance productivity and efficiency.
