IBIE Preview: Tecnopool Bets on its Smart Bakery Line Portal

Part of Worldbakers’ IBIE SPECIAL EDITION 2022, we interview important exhibitors about what they bring to IBIE, so readers know what to expect at the Baking Expo that takes place between September 18-21, 2022, in Las Vegas. Today we interview Nicola Menardo, President of TP Food Group North America.

We will showcase the new and innovative TP5 spiral belt for Tecnopool’s spiral systems, we will explain the features of an innovative digital system called “smart bakery line portal” which allows monitoring bakery lines, we will unveil a new functional design for Gostol’s proven TPN cyclothymic baking system and we will present the state-of-the art and custom-made TEC industrial frying system which sets itself apart from other designs available on the market. Our current focus in the US is helping industrial bakers optimize and monitor their production processes while maximizing productivity on limited footprints by means of solutions that can range from make-up to freezing.

Bakers might face changing market demand, both in terms of volume and product mix, combined with a rising pressure due to unpredictable external factors (e.g. energy and raw materials costs). Such issues may have short-term answers, which can translate in bakers optimizing their processes as much as possible, but will most likely also be factors that suppliers of industrial food processing machinery need to anticipate in the design of their machines since inception.
