Food manufacturers, wholesalers, and service operators are shifting their focus from merely automating processes to integrating automation with software and data for enhanced operational resilience and scalability. This strategic approach addresses the need for efficiency alongside speed, availability, freshness, and service in a competitive environment.
The case of Austrian dairy producer NÖM AG illustrates this trend, as the company processes over 1.5 million kilograms of milk daily and is expanding its logistics with a fully automated high-bay warehouse. NÖM is not only automating but also implementing an integrated SAP® environment to enhance its logistics processes, demonstrating the importance of connectivity in operations.
As organizations invest in automation, the emphasis is shifting from equipment needs to operational capabilities. NÖM's phased implementation of SAP® EWM allows for gradual expertise development, ensuring that businesses can adapt to future changes without high-risk disruptions.
