The food manufacturing industry faces a range of challenges. Companies need to stay competitive, innovate to meet consumer demands, ensure a high product quality while keeping costs low.
Simulation can play a key role in solving these challenges and is increasingly used by engineers and scientists in order to optimize processes and improve operational efficiency,
Altair® EDEM™, our Discrete Element Method (DEM) software for granular material simulation, accurately simulates the behavior of various foods such as grains, coffee beans, spices, fruits, or dairy powders and provides key insight into a range of operations and processes, including material handling and processing such as mixing, milling, drying, coating, and more.
In recordings of our latest webinar, our experts share common industry applications, real-world case studies, and the latest technology developments in the field.
