Fight Food Waste: when people make the difference

On a busy packaging line, an alert flags a label change. It’s the fourth notification that shift, buried among others, in a language the operators don’t read fluently. They miss it. The impact: hours of rework and thousands of euros of waste cost. Was it a technology failure? No. An operator failure? Not really either. What failed was everything around it. Raf Swinnen, business development lead at Maecos, and Evelien Taillieu, senior consultant and connected worker specialist at delaware, explain why people, not platforms, are what actually cuts food waste, or lets it slide.

Cutting water and product losses starts with real-time data

You pay twice for every raw material that doesn't make the cut. Once to process it, and again to dispose of it. The same goes for the water, energy, and chemicals lost along the way. Most food manufacturers know waste hurts. Few know exactly where on the line it comes from.

Belgian start-ups Polysense and Liquisens help you see where. Together with delaware, you stop losses before they turn into waste. On your line, that means you can:

Catch quality deviations while there's still time to act, so less product gets rejected
Know right away if a cleaning cycle worked, instead of waiting a day or two for a lab result
Avoid lost batches and costly shutdowns
Deliver stable output quality with less manual checking on the floor
Cut chemical use by around 24% and energy costs by 17% in your cleaning processes

Curious where your biggest losses are? Fight Food Waste Week helps you find out.

Data activation: the discipline – and the people – behind the buzzword

Every marketer already knows the punchline. Customers want authentic, personalized, effortless communications. The business wants it to convert: pipeline, revenue, and retention, not just likes and opens. To get there, marketing teams push harder: more sends, sharper copy, one more channel. And still, the numbers won’t cooperate. Somewhere along the line, they hit a ‘performance plateau’: teams are using the most powerful technology marketing has ever had to send more generic messages.
