Smart Manufacturing for Your Food and Beverage Operations. Consumers continually seek the new and different, and prioritize taste and nutritional value. That means you must get new, high-quality products through your facility quickly, and keep prices low and food safer. Through The Connected Enterprise, we help food and beverage manufacturers develop a more agile response to changing consumer tastes. The Connected Enterprise leverages smart manufacturing to revolutionize the way food and beverage manufacturers operate, by providing accessibility to relevant, real-time information.
