Getting the balance right between automation and craft

August 16, 2018

[:en]A major challenge being faced by craft manufacturers is how to meet increasing demands without compromising the individuality and flair at the heart of their product. One way in which this can happen is by customers taking the first steps towards automation.

Automation is becoming increasingly widely considered for craft producers, in the current environment where margins are being cut by retailers. “This requires [craft] manufacturers to find ways to improve their production flow, to allow them to become more competitive”, writes Susanne Gill in this month’s Food Processing magazine.

However, “the mistaken belief that the transition demands a big-step change is hindering adoption of these technologies”, writes Gill. She explains that automation “can be implemented without needing to build a new facility or replace existing equipment”, and that “change can happen in a modest way, and can be scaled up gradually”.
