[ Benefits ]

Standardize, secure, and scale your food & beverage operations

Bring flexibility to production while maintaining full traceability and compliance across lines, plants, and product variants. Software-defined automation streamlines recipe and packaging updates in food & beverage plants through validated change workflows and full audit trails, ensuring compliance and reducing recall risks.

  • Faster implementation of new recipes

    Faster implementation of new recipes, formats and label changes across lines and plants.

  • Browser-based engineering enables secure, maintenance-free IDE access

    Browser-based engineering enables secure, maintenance-free IDE access

    Browser-based engineering enables secure, maintenance-free IDE access from anywhere – letting machine vendors like Krones in with grace through policy-driven remote access, breaking monopolies while maintaining full governance.

  • Improved compliance

    Improved compliance

    Improved compliance with complete version history, approval workflows and tamper‑proof change logs.

  • Reduced contamination and recall risk

    Reduced contamination and recall risk

    Reduced contamination and recall risk through immutable log meeting consistent, validated automation standards.

  • Lower cost-to-serve

    Lower cost-to-serve

    Lower cost-to-serve with remote troubleshooting and centralized management of OEM and integrator access.

  • Managing diverse PLC´s

    Managing diverse PLC´s

    Managing diverse programmable logic controller (PLC) systems from multiple vendors with insufficient tools for code management.

  • Reduce your IT footprint

    Reduce your IT footprint

    Eliminate the burden of managing IDEs and local machines. With production sites moving closer to your customers and becoming smaller, local PLC setups are costly. A cloud‑based IDE keeps everything up‑to‑date without local overhead.

Software Defined Automation: The Game Changer for Food & Beverage Plants

Discover why software is becoming the key resource in food and beverage production.

As product life cycles shorten, regulatory demands increase, and cost pressure rises, traditional hardware-centric automation is reaching its limits. Software Defined Automation (SDA) introduces a new approach by shifting intelligence into a flexible, centrally managed software layer—enabling more agile, scalable, and future-ready production.

In this whitepaper, learn how SDA allows you to adapt production lines faster, make real-time data-driven decisions, and simplify compliance and quality assurance. Explore how to integrate existing equipment, optimize processes, and accelerate time-to-market while improving OEE, energy efficiency, and product quality.

Download the whitepaper now to see how you can transition to a software-centric production environment and unlock new levels of flexibility and performance.
