From insight to automation: taking control with Process NIR

18 June 2025

1:00pm

Join this webinar to explore how Process NIR technology enables real-time process control and automation, helping food producers boost efficiency, consistency, and profitability.

Why attend? 

In today’s competitive and fast-moving food production environment, manufacturers need more than data—they need the ability to act on it in real time. This webinar explores how Process NIR technology supports the shift from data collection to actionable process control.

As the pressure grows to reduce waste, maintain product consistency, and manage supply chain variability, smart, data-integrated operations are becoming essential. Inline technologies like Process NIR are now central to automation strategies and Industry 4.0 initiatives.

You’ll hear how leading producers are overcoming common challenges such as inconsistent product quality, high raw material losses, and the disconnect between data visibility and real-time action.

Key learning points: 

  • How real-time process data can reduce manual intervention and support automation
  • The role of Process NIR in achieving consistent, intelligent process control
  • How industry leaders are integrating NIR technology to drive measurable performance gains
  • The connection between Process NIR and Industry 4.0 trends in food manufacturing
  • A real-world case study on improving efficiency and process stability using inline NIR
  • Practical advice for evaluating your automation readiness and identifying high-impact opportunities
