The beverage industry has undergone significant evolution since 澳门足彩app performed the first of more than 1,45年前,安海斯-布希公司(现在的百威英博)提供了1000个工作岗位. Similarly, food production is vastly different than it was four decades back when 澳门足彩app’s initial project for Frito-Lay took team members to the first of 50 cities in 30 states and five countries.

Now Greg Janzow, 澳门足彩app’s Director of Food Safety, says another wave of change is coming as engineering for the future of food safety is inspired by the solutions necessitated by the COVID pandemic.

詹佐说:“疫情确实扰乱了我们的粮食供应. “We know something is going to happen again to disrupt the food supply, and as engineers, 我们需要为接下来发生的一切做好准备. 这都是关于创新的解决方案.”

Food Industry Expertise
澳门足彩app has been ranked in the Top 5 of Engineering News-Record’s Food & 在过去的12年里一直是饮料制造承包商, 包括连续7年进入前2名. 我们的专业知识遍及杂货店的各个过道, from emerging sustainable proteins and pre-packaged food service items to confectionery sweets and baked snacks.

Janzow has more than two decades of experience on both the facility management and contractor sides of the food production industry and offers deep subject matter expertise in highly regulated food and beverage manufacturing operations.

他说,采取温度监测等措施, air purification and distancing, 虽然在某种程度上已经是标准了, will be incorporated into the design and engineering of food processing plants.

Environmental control through air purification in food processing is essential. 被污染的空气携带微生物和灰尘. Clients and employees must have confidence that a facility is removing contaminants.

Allergens are a critical issue in food processing, Janzow said. And a new one – sesame seeds – recently has been added to the list by the Food and Drug Administration.

“Allergens are one of the FDA’s top three reasons for product recall,” he said, “and it’s enormously expensive to a company in terms of money and reputation.”

In engineering, detectability is critical in the airflow and the production line, so there needs to be technology for eliminating the allergen and a detection methodology to validate the absence of residue.

Janzow also thinks the industry will see touchless factories.

“Handwashing is still one of the best practices to reduce the transfer of microorganisms and contamination,” he said. “But reducing the need for hands to be involved in completing a task goes to the next level.”

Food processing plants can be designed and engineered to automate or eliminate doors, automate handwashing and sanitation and integrate food cleaning technology, he said.

尽管许多仍处于起步阶段, robotics and similar technologies can reduce the number of people in an operation and their proximity to each other. Those advancements save money for companies, reduce mundane work and enhance human safety.
