How Optimized Food and Beverage Automation Elevates Food Safety and Drives Growth and Productivity
The food and beverage industry is one of rapid change and growth. Shifts in consumer behavior, the demand for new and exciting products in the marketplace, and the increased emphasis on cleanliness and food safety and sanitation provide significant challenges for food and beverage producers in the creation of a flexible automation framework that can balance the uncertainties of today’s global landscape.
As a world-leading provider of enclosure, climate control, and power distribution systems, Rittal offers a full-value-chain solution encompassing hygienic design, low-carbon climate control, engineering digitization, and production automation to drive the automation and digital transformation of the Food & Beverage (F&B) industry.
The F&B industry enforces exceptionally stringent hygiene and safety standards for production environments, where up to 40% of production line downtime is often caused by cleaning/hygiene issues or equipment corrosion
Food and beverage producers need powerful, precise, and targeted climate control units to help ensure health and safety protocols of the products on the facility floor. While Industry 4.0 and IIoT have revolutionized the processes in modern manufacturing, the struggle for food and beverage producers today is choosing the right solution for the right job.
With decades of field-proven expertise in the food and beverage industrial automation space, Rittal’s industrial enclosures, climate control units, busbar power distribution systems, and modification solutions have set the bar for excellence in design and engineering to help food and beverage manufacturers like you discover a simplified solution to get the job done.
For today’s food and beverage producers, the consideration for the right industrial enclosures boils down to the ability of the enclosure to withstand regular, intense washdowns with powerful cleaning agents and the capacity of the enclosure to be easily integrated into production facilities with limitations on size and space.
In addition, the flexibility of panel configuration, wiring and cable management, power distribution systems, and ease of installation are top-tier priorities given the strict food safety and sanitation requirements of the three hygienic zones in production facilities.
What’s more, producers must be able to quickly pivot based on consumer demand, supply chain instability, or labor shortages. This means food and beverage producers need industrial enclosures, junction boxes, and accessories designed and engineered specifically for use in the food and beverage space.
Rittal’s hygienic design enclosures and accessories features slope-top enclosure designs to prevent pooling and IP 66 enclosure ratings for superior protection along with a variety of construction materials to withstand high-intensity washdowns in harsh production spaces. The Hygienic Design line also includes small and compact enclosures for deploying in facilities where space is limited and unique mounting positions are required.
As food and beverage manufacturers modernize their industrial automation and enclosure frameworks, the need for a smarter, more efficient method of power distribution system to the industrial panels and enclosures that help drive production processes is more pressing than ever. Legacy power distribution systems come with a variety of liabilities and challenges food and beverage manufacturers must overcome, including complex and time-consuming installations; time and resource-intensive maintenance; less physical space within the enclosure due to cumbersome, outdated designs; and increased downtime due to frequency of maintenance.
With Rittal busbar electrical panels, food and beverage producers will experience :
1. Reductions in the use of space relative to the panel and enclosure
2. Easy troubleshooting in the event of control interruption or failure
3. Time savings during installation, maintenance, or upgrades
4. Increased operational efficiency
Manufactured with global compliance and use in mind, Rittal’s electrical busbar systems also provide superior protection against shock and accidental arcing. Our busbar electrical panels also allow for electronically safe installation and maintenance up to 60 IP inside the industrial enclosure to reduce the likelihood of electrical fault and danger to both personnel and production floor equipment.
