In a bid to adapt to changing consumer preferences and keep up with technological advancements, bakers and biscuit makers are facing a dilemma of whether to prioritize tech over tradition. The debate has been sparked by a recent announcement from a group of major bakeries and biscuit manufacturers to invest heavily in automation and artificial intelligence to streamline production processes and reduce costs.
The decision to embrace technology comes at a time when traditional methods of baking and biscuit making are becoming increasingly labor-intensive and less efficient. Proponents of the shift argue that investing in tech will not only boost productivity but also improve product quality and consistency. They believe that automation can help meet the growing demand for innovative flavors and healthier options in the market.
However, this move has raised concerns among traditionalists who fear that the industry’s rich heritage and artisanal crafting techniques may be compromised. They argue that relying too heavily on technology could take away the human touch and unique character that sets their products apart. Some small-scale bakeries and biscuit makers have expressed worries about being left behind in the race for automation, given the high costs associated with investing in cutting-edge equipment.
As the industry grapples with this decision, it remains to be seen whether tech will indeed trump tradition at bakers and biscuit makers. Finding the right balance between leveraging technology for efficiency and preserving age-old methods for authenticity will likely be the key challenge moving forward.
