Siemens Xcelerator in Spain

Due to impacts from the coronavirus pandemic and the geopolitical environment, as well as broader macroeconomic effects of inflation, the food and beverage (F&B) industry has been facing major challenges, which range from fractured supply chains to inflation-induced higher prices. As a result, more and more companies in the F&B industry are acknowledging the need to intensify their efforts in embracing digital transformation. Regarding optimization, the F&B industry is focused on two aspects: first, it aims to streamline processes for maximum efficiency and enhance supply chain resilience. Second, it strives to achieve sustainability goals. Yet, its ultimate priority is to remain competitive in the market. The technologies used at Ekonoke, Deoleo and Coca-Cola are examples of the digital transformation that is taking place in the food and beverage industry – with the help of Siemens technology. These technologies are used in a variety of diverse cases, such as in sustainable and efficient hop production, the digitalization of a traditional olive oil production process and the example of sustainable processing and distribution of a large multinational soft drink company.
