Change isn’t optional in manufacturing. But making change stick is.
Janet Bellamy (National Centre for Food Manufacturing, University of Lincoln) joins us to break down the people and technology blockers that stall progress and how to overcome them with clear expectations, co-design, and quick wins the shop floor can feel.

Highlights:

• Reduce friction with a single, simple operator experience

• Map the real process across roles to expose hidden work

• Deal with interoperability early; plan for access to data, not just APIs

• Earn trust with visible gains (e.g., energy savings from compressor/defrost tuning)

• Look ahead: targeted digitalization, real-time data, and practical AI where it helps
