The need for sophisticated cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly crucial necessity for dairy processors, particularly since they face the extra challenge of operating in a “living supply chain,” in which attacks to any part of the chain can lead to a food safety crisis, food shortage, animal welfare concerns, and reputational risk.
Designs are becoming more functional as processors seek a competitive edge. Likewise, dairy product developers are increasingly leveraging rigid and flexible packages, while automated packaging systems, such as case palletizers, are enabling dairy processors to better cope with labor issues.
