By integrating visual sensors that can evaluate the attractiveness of a baked good, they can funnel these less than perfect loafs to separate production lines. They might never make it to the shelf as thick sliced loaves, but they’re perfect for packets of breadcrumbs. GloboBake is moving into the green square. They’re not just reducing waste, they’re reusing and recycling previous unsellable products. Again, minimising their impact on the environment and maximising their efficiency and productivity at the same time. Evolving sustainably Minimising waste, reducing, reusing, and recycling are all taken care of to a greater or lesser extent. The landfills now see almost no direct input from GloboBake. The ingredients they turn into baked goods, one way or another, find their way to suppliers and into the hands of hungry customers. Through careful analysis of the data their shop floor connectivity solution affords them, GloboBake can now focus on the real minute and previously unavoidable wastes their processes create. Recipe management can be enhanced using smart systems. Loss and waste can be tracked, analysed, and understood. GloboBake’s digital systems can take data directly from their equipment, enhance their recipes and feed back new, leaner, more sustainable recipes to the shop floor. Kneading machines, for example, inevitably create slightly more dough than can be loaded into loaf tins. Unused ingredients left in loaders for too long become unusable and need to be replaced. Many other examples of waste that are minute in local terms can collectively create large areas of waste in a global business. A shop floor connectivity solution that’s able to spot these wastes, build intelligent solutions, and automatically enhance recipe management, is one that enables remanufacturing of these elements, redesign of these processes, and recovery of otherwise perfectly usable elements.
