Tjitze Smit, manager of the pet food division for Graintec, shares concepts of modern and future pet food plant design, along with a vision for how fast-developing technology will impact the process design and operation of the pet food facility. Pet food producing facilities of the future are not going to look like facilities today. Futuristic concepts demand innovative ideas and initiatives that incorporate new solutions for not only the facility design but also the production process, equipment and intelligent instrumentation, optimizing pet food production in terms of logistics, energy consumption and environmental considerations.
