The Industrial Internet of Things will disrupt the dairy industry (for the better)
Connecting devices throughout the supply chain and production – pumps, refrigeration equipment, etc. – can allow for more rapid analysis of operational data.

Challenges posed to dairy companies by the complex regulatory network of the FDA are only accentuated when their existing technology and infrastructure limit them even further. Strict compliance measures, coupled with pressures from the consumer marketplace (particularly tight turnaround times), inventory limitations and more make the dairy industry’s infrastructure ripe for disruption with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies. To remain competitive, dairy companies must squeeze every ounce of speed, efficiency and responsiveness from their global supply chain. And doing this successfully means adopting automation technologies.
