Interview with Dr. Tobias Voigt, co-founder of the Weihenstephaner Standards at the Department for Food Packaging Technology at the Technical University in Munich.
Market demands are becoming more specialized, requiring increasing flexibility from companies in the processing industry. To be able to react to the market, production must be quickly convertible, and in the best case is controlled by manufacturer-independent systems. In addition, the relevant data must be constantly available in order to be evaluated and used in a targeted way. Dr. Tobias Voigt explained in an interview with us how uniform standards help to structure processes and communication, and which challenges need to be mastered.

“In the future, we will be able to locate the interfaces between IT and production devices anywhere.”
Si un producteur ou un conditionneur de produits alimentaires souhaite contrôler l'ensemble de sa production, les dispositifs de production doivent fournir les données pertinentes à cet effet.
Les opérations alimentaires sont soumises à de fortes pressions en matière de coûts et doivent fonctionner de manière efficace, durable, flexible et avec presque aucune perte.
Il est tout à fait clair que nous avons toujours pensé à l'international en ce qui concerne les normes Weihenstephaner.
