Food to go manufacturer Raynor Foods has become a 100% employee-owned company, with people on the move in the senior management team to support the transition.
Sandwich manufacturer Raynor Foods is leading the charge towards greater traceability in the food supply chain with the launch of a new online platform, the Digital Sandwich.
A consortium of food manufacturers, universities and tech developers – led by 2020 overall Food Manufacture Excellence Award winner Raynor Foods – has been awarded £4m to help digitalise the food supply chain.
The ‘Digital Sandwich’ will utilise advanced Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain and artificial intelligence technology to enhance the level of traceability of ingredients in the production of commercial, pre-packaged sandwiches. UK Research and Innovation has provided £4m of funding to support the project.
The principles established in developing this new platform are intended to be both scalable to the entire food industry, and adaptable to include other industries with similar resourcing patterns.
