Transforming natural resources into quality products presents many challenges for companies. The challenges begin with research and development work, the selection of raw materials, and span all processes, always guided by quality and safety. This sector is also known as Food Service (food outside the home), it includes the areas of baking, confectionery and meals (crackers, pasta, breads, cakes, ice cream, candy and confectionery, fried foods, snacks and others). This  ever increasingly diverse product range requires more sophisticated control systems, capable of ensuring final product quality through the efficient control and monitoring of manufacturing, storage and production performance in real time. The control system includes: ? Control of the process and production; ? Recording and real time supervision of the entire production chain; ? Integration with SCADA supervision systems, dataloggers and database; ? Remote monitoring over the Internet using NOVUS Cloud service.
