Food Industry Challenges: Traceability and Strict Regulations
In the food sector, ensuring product quality and safety is not just a goal—it's a regulatory necessity. Companies face complex operations that require strict quality control, regulatory compliance, lot traceability, and rapid response to any issues. Many plants still rely on a mix of old machinery and disconnected systems, resulting in fragmented data and slower decisions, which can jeopardize compliance with standards like HACCP, ISO 22000, or BRC.
