Abstract
Industrial automation, leveraging control technologies and data processing, plays a significant role in enhancing productivity, quality, and safety within the food, beverage, and dairy industries. This paper examines the performance of automation systems in precise process control, waste reduction, hygiene improvement, and enhanced traceability. The findings demonstrate that implementing automation reduces human error, increases operational accuracy, and optimizes resource utilization. Moreover, automation not only boosts production efficiency but also provides a foundation for data-driven decision-making and long-term industrial sustainability. more
