Automation in the pet food industry continues to follow the human food space. With labor and production challenges, these systems have changed the game for pet food manufacturers. Though automation has brought many benefits to pet food manufacturers, there are some challenges as well.
“While demand for operational efficiency is common across most industries, there are some unique challenges emerging with pet food, an industry known for using a variety of systems throughout their operations,” said Dusan Gazikalovic, business development manager in pet food at WEM Automation.
