Trends expected to drive increased cybersecurity requirements include more use of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and devices, the growing availability of 5G, and IT / OT network convergence. More devices and operating systems will connect and transmit data across networks, significantly expanding attack surfaces.

Industrial automation suppliers have a unique perspective and knowledge of the technologies that power CPG facilities. Collaborating with them (and their network of partners) can accelerate time-to-value resulting in lower costs and improved cybersecurity posture.

Enterprise connectivity represents a massive opportunity for both machine builders and their customers.

But the risks associated with having a complex, interconnected system – from cybercriminals and competitors – are growing. Almost one in two companies has experienced illicit copying of entire machines. Cyberattacks can cause damage to physical assets, workers or products.

Fundamental to today’s production environment is the ability to provide secure, remote access for end customers, improve productivity and safety, protect critical production data from internal and external threats, while keeping intellectual property equally secure.

Secure remote access to production assets, data and applications, along with the latest collaboration tools, provides plant and sites with the ability to apply the right skills and resources at the right time, independent of their physical location. OEMs are looking to reduce costs, add more value to their Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) customers and differentiate themselves from their competitors. This paper outlines the means to enable secure remote access to plant or site-based applications and data and can be used as guidance for OEMs to collaborate with their customers when designing a secure remote access solution.

Success as an OEM has always hinged on the ability to design and deploy machines in ways that yield rapid time to value, no matter the challenges that may be involved.

Industry challenges, both perennial and new, are likely here to stay.

What’s different now is the technology landscape and opportunities it presents for OEMs to not only maximize efficiency from within, but also to differentiate themselves and strengthen their position in the marketplace.

Whether you're processing meat and protein products or producing batteries for electric vehicles, the basic goal for all manufacturers is to produce the optimal amount of product, at the highest level of quality, while limiting costs. And since the days of Henry Ford's assembly lines, there's always been an ongoing push for continuous improvement.

Within this paper, we'll focus on perhaps the most important aspect of digital transformation for food processors- enhanced asset and line visibility. We'll break down the technologies and strategies vital to optimizing the potential it contains, and the best steps to take in unlocking benefits related to improving operational and supply chain flexibility, cutting extraneous costs, enhancing internal and external communication to eliminate waste, and, perhaps most importantly, optimizing the role and impact of workers.

For manufacturing decision makers, the ability to adapt production in line with rapidly changing market conditions and consumer preferences is key. Accordingly, their focus is on creating a flexible, digitally-enabled manufacturing environment that serves the need for transparency and flexibility. Within this focus, priorities around cost, food safety and quality, data security, workforce transformation, yield generation and greater localization all need to be balanced. These factors are putting pressure on producers to digitalize and operate as a connected enterprise.

Over the course of this paper we will explore how your organization can leverage new technologies to achieve flexible manufacturing and distribution, enabling you to meet the needs of a changing marketplace.

Get ahead with digital readiness in protein industry! We've surveyed top global meat, poultry, and seafood producers and found out how you can do more with technology.
