IoT & Food Machines: Benefits and Solutions


For food machines manufacturers, whether they are filling-machines, packaging-machines, processing-machines or dairy-machines providers, data is becoming the most valuable strategic asset for improving quality, adding new features to their offerings and boosting ROI.

To collect and manage this valuable data, food machines manufacturers need to make their machines Connected through IoT technologies.

What are the key benefits of IoT for Food Machines Manufacturers?

Improvement of the after-sales service through predictive maintenance

Predictive maintenance is a proactive approach in which maintenance is not carried out following a predetermined schedule (preventive maintenance) but it is initiated according to the data collected by the machines

Overall improvement of machine quality

Data collected in the field (in the customer’s plants) can help machine manufacturers to improve their technical and mechanical features, improving their reliability in customers’ eyes

Significant ROI increase

Offering machines with new innovative features and capabilities results in less waste due to non-compliance, reduced downtimes, consistency in product quality, performance optimization, real-time and remote monitoring of temperature, power, friction and so on

Eurotech Hardware and Software Solutions for Connected Food Machines


In order to achieve the above-listed benefits, Eurotech has developed specific IoT technology and expertise in the Connected Machines industry. With Everyware IoT - an end-to-end IoT Edge Computing architecture - Eurotech meets the most difficult challenges in the Industrial IoT (IIoT) and Connected Machines space, such as lack of open standards, vendor lock-in and fragmentation. Everyware IoT is:

  • Integrated: Integration at the Edge and Data Center levels. End-to-end modular IoT solutions
  • Managed: Operational Technology (OT) Management where data is generated and collected and Information Technology (IT) Management where data is consumed
  • Open: Based on open and industry standards, no vendor lock-in

Hardware solutions

Eurotech Multi-service IoT Gateways are a family of edge computing devices that connect assets in the field to the cloud, where data is collected, archived and managed by company applications and information systems. They offer a wide range of performance, networking and ruggedness options in order to best fit today’s IoT applications. Eurotech Multi-service IoT Gateways come certified for various industry verticals including Industrial, and are globally certified for cellular connectivity.

Software solutions

Eurotech Multi-service IoT Gateways come with Everyware Software Framework (ESF) , an edge computing platform that offers an open, high-level, multi-platform and flexible application development environment. The IoT Integration Platform Everyware Cloud (EC) provides all the services for advanced IoT field devices management, including configuration management, application life-cycle management and remote access. It also provides the services needed to collect data from the field and to integrate them with downstream applications, business processes, dashboards and reports.

New COM Express boards

Eurotech’s new embedded boards are the basis of our Multi-service IoT Gateways; therefore, they have already been tested “on field”. Embedded boards are suitable for several applications, such as auto-piloting, image processing, robotics, and other applications related to IoT solutions. Moreover, they are ruggedized and built to withstand extreme temperatures and can be customized according to specific needs.
