When it comes to testing new technology in the food industry, choosing the right customer and location for the initial installations is crucial. The first installation of new machinery at an industrial scale is a significant step that can impact the success of the technology and your overall operations. Here’s why finding the perfect location and customer is so important and how Navatech can assist you in this process.

The Importance of Location and Customer Selection

1. Optimal Integration EnvironmentThe right location for your new technology installation needs to have a compatible environment that supports seamless integration. This means choosing a site with existing infrastructure that can accommodate the new machinery without major modifications. Proper alignment with your customer’s production line and operational needs is essential to prevent integration issues and ensure smooth functionality.
2. Minimizing RisksSelecting a location with a well-established and experienced customer base helps mitigate the risks associated with the initial trial of new technology. A customer who is familiar with the challenges of adopting new systems can provide valuable insights and feedback, making it easier to address any unforeseen issues that may arise during the trial phase.
3. Effective Training and SupportThe selected customer should be open to thorough training and support. A site that is willing to invest in training and ongoing support for operators will facilitate a smoother transition and help in addressing any operational challenges promptly. This commitment is essential for the successful implementation and long-term success of the new technology.
