Barry Callebaut’s production facilities and warehouses are rapidly evolving into connected, automated and data‑driven environments. Digital platforms such as MES (or Manufacturing Execution System) and EMS (or Energy Management System) are key enablers for standardized food safety and operational excellence within Barry Callebaut, and are important prerequisites to delivering data‑driven innovation and smart factory applications.

At the core of these digital industrial applications is standardized, secured and monitored Operational Technology (OT). This provides the backbone for a safe, reliable and trusted production and storage process, decreases the risk for a security breach, and safeguards data quality.

Failure of each one of these assets impacts production and potentially shuts down an entire factory.
• Responsible for defining and governing multi‑year investment roadmaps in digital manufacturing across all production sites in the region.
• Opportunity to drive digital program s that are at the core of the CSD organization.
