SAP supports key processes in food and beverage — from production and storage to sales and traceability. AI helps deal with short shelf lives, dynamic demand, and safety rules. It brings speed and foresight to everyday operations.

Where AI adds an extra layer:

Predicting spoilage based on temperature and logistics data.
Forecasting demand to improve production and reduce overstock.
Monitoring hygiene compliance using AI-powered video analysis.
Optimizing recipes and ingredients based on consumer feedback.

SAP solutions already come with AI tools to support these scenarios. We help implement and adjust them to fit your logistics model — or develop new AI tools if your operations require a more tailored setup.
