Across industries, the digital age has transformed the ability of companies to enhance efficiency, quality and overall operations. As technology that allows for further connectivity evolves, companies like Tetra Pak are preparing to create factories of the future. Tetra Pak, a multinational food packaging and processing company, announced at Hannover Messe 2019 that its future factory is ready to change the way food manufacturing plants operate. The company's efforts to digitalize the industry led it to partner with Microsoft, ABB, SAP and Elettric80 to create a connected packaging platform that incorporates people and artificial intelligence to transform the industry. "We are in a period where the market is changing at high speed," said Johan Nilsson, Tetra Pak vice president of Industry 4.0.
