Certified Origins, a European and USA-based company specializing in fresh and authentic extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) and traceable foods, completed a series of investments and technological improvements to their production facilities in Italy.
What benefits will this investment bring to Certified Origins’ customers? “Increased production capacity will allow for greater readiness and responsiveness to our customer’s demands,” states Certified Origins IT manager Andrea Biagianti. “Production efficiency and continuous monitoring of production parameters through data collection and use allow us also to ensure supply consistency with faster planning of production and related shipments.”
This “Industry 4.0” project grows within the Internet of Things (IoT) technology framework. More intelligent and interconnected modules within the production line simplify the operator’s workflows. Automation and data capture/sharing between production processes and teams improve efficiency.
Certified Origins leads the way in creating Private Label food programs where efficiency, safety, and quality are vital elements. Andrea explains how these technologies can add value to all of Certified Origin’s retail partners “Each machine stores production data and makes it available within our databases, which connects with other internal information services. The available data can be analyzed and provided to the traceability services already present as each production associates a precise timestamp of the start and end day and time of production batch!”
