Quality control can be a significant challenge in the food and beverage industry. One small error in the batch production of products can compromise quality, consistency, and brand reputation. To be successful, beverage facilities rely on batch production and pasteurization solutions so processes can be repeatable within close tolerances as well as scalable to reach large production volume needs. The setup of these solutions are often complex which cause beverage manufacturers to seek support to avoid costly downtime, inferior batch quality, or poor data acquisition capabilities for regulatory reporting.  This was the challenge for a global drink manufacturing leader who needed support setting up a new production line that included batching, pasteurizing, and bottling capabilities with a dedicated Clean-In-Place (CIP) system. Automation Group was engaged to support the development of a new juice and tea production system at one of the customer’s large production facilities in North America.

Olive oil production relies on robust storage systems. Storage systems that have inadequate controls against light, heat, and oxygen exposure can compromise the freshness of olive oil products and result in considerable production loss for olive oil manufacturers. To combat this, olive oil companies commonly use temperature controlled and light-protected stainless steel tanks to safely store the olive oil until it’s ready to be bottled. Any mismatch in storage capacity to olive oil production presents a manufacturing bottleneck and loss of profits. For one of the largest olive oil producers in California, the ability to scale their business relied on a robust storage system to expand their olive oil processing capabilities. Industry partner Barnum Mechanical Inc. teamed up with Automation Group to support the company’s storage system needs.

With breakfast considered to be the most important meal of the day, restaurants must offer a well-rounded breakfast menu to stay competitive. For a global fast-food giant, launching budget-friendly breakfast smoothies as a new product line was essential to compete against other café chains that offered similar products but at a higher price point. The fast-food giant enlisted a leading developer of fruit-based products to help deliver the new product offering but the project required the creation of several new manufacturing lines with a focus on process control. The fruit solutions developer engaged Automation Group for their reputable flexibility and process control expertise to complete the complex project within a tight timeline.
