Tetra Pak unveiled its next-generation Automation and Digitalization (A&D) portfolio, Tetra Pak Factory OS ️at Gulfood Manufacturing in Dubai. This new suite of modular, open and scalable smart factory technologies will transform food and beverage (F&B) production and lay the foundation for AI-ready factories.

Many producers struggle to adopt automation due to limited digital expertise and difficulty of finding a holistic end-to-end solution providers with industry expertise. Tetra Pak Factory OS bridges this gap, by combining advanced technologies with deep food and beverage know-how to help producers tackle cost pressures, meet sustainability goals, and prepare for AI-driven manufacturing.

At the heart of the next-generation portfolio is a new data integration platform, powered by open technologies, powerful analytics and industry standards. It connects equipment and systems throughout the factory, transforming fragmented data into one unified, real-time view. 

"Tetra Pak Factory OS ️is more than a technology portfolio – it embodies our vision for the future of food and beverage manufacturing. Designed for the next decade and beyond, it enables producers to build the factory of the future, where resilience, efficiency and sustainability go hand in hand,” said Charles Brand, executive vice president, processing solutions & equipment at Tetra Pak.

Designed for flexibility and scalability, Tetra Pak Factory OS allows F&B producers to adopt automation and digitalization at their own pace: starting small, scaling up, and tailoring solutions to their unique requirements.

Tetra Pak Factory OS standardizes data collection across all equipment, regardless of age or supplier, ensuring full compatibility and scalability. Other key features include a unified user experience that enables seamless interaction across lines, equipment and control rooms; a suite of digital applications for real-time monitoring of materials, quality, production and asset performance; and enterprise-level insights powered by contextualized, factory-wide integration.

Developed in collaboration with Accenture, the portfolio is supported by a robust ecosystem including Siemens, Rockwell Automation and Inductive Automation - but it's Tetra Pak's deep food production expertise that ensures these technologies deliver real impact for food producers.
