2025 Automation in Food and Beverage Equipment Sanitation
Automation in Food and Beverage Equipment Sanitation, published by PMMI – The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies in November 2025, examines barriers and pathways to automating sanitation based on a Vision 2030 session at PACK EXPO, a pre-event survey and roundtable discussions. The analysis indicates three focus areas—workforce readiness and training, collaborative hygienic design and documentation, and flexible automation with standardized specs—where emerging patterns show trade-offs between turnkey robotics and mobile, retrofit-friendly solutions. Findings tend to favor pilot approaches and benchmarking against peer implementations, with examples including conveyor-belt cleaners, single-tank CIP systems and mobile sanitation units; charts highlight adoption priorities and common obstacles. The report reveals where engineering teams are prioritizing investments to strengthen operational resilience.
