Boosting Performance and Bridging Skills Gaps, noted
that some companies that jumped on AI early already are
experiencing its benefits, with an even greater impact
expected in the years to come.
Per the report, the applications most likely to boost
the packaging and processing industry are AI assistants,
machine vision, predictive maintenance, digital twins and
connected worker platforms. Advantages of implementing
AI in operations, the report pointed out, include improved
machine efficiency, increased worker productivity, and
optimized and personalized training.
TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
While automation offers solutions in the short term, the
long-term health of the dairy industry soverall till depends
on a steady influx of skilled workers. With the US dairy
workforce aging, companies are strategically investing
more in training programs that may attract and retain
younger employees.
Many dairy processors have partnered with community
colleges and vocational schools to create programs that
equip students with the skills needed to thrive in dairy
processing careers. These programs cover everything from
the basics of food safety, to advanced training in the latest
technologies used inside dairy facilities. Some companies
also have offered apprenticeships, paid internships and
scholarships to cultivate the next generation of workers.
Designed to support, guide and prepare mid- and
senior-level dairy industry professionals to take the
next step in their leadership journey, IDFA's NextGen
Leadership Program works with member companies to
grow their talent with a year-long program of training,
education, advocacy and networking.
