AUTOMATION AND AI IN BAKERY
INTELLIG for the bakery of
TOMORROW A
cross Europe, bakeries are confronting unprecedented operational pressures: rising labour costs, tighter margins,
complex supply chains, and increasing consumer demand for freshness and quality. In this environment, artificial intelligence is emerging as a transformative force, developing how production lines operate, assortments are planned, and consumer trends are interpreted. Market intelligence reports indicate that bakeries adopting AI technologies are achieving measurable gains in efficiency, waste reduction, and product consistency, while also enabling faster innovation cycles. From predictive production scheduling to real-time quality control, AI is moving beyond pilot projects into mainstream operations, offering bakeries the ability to anticipate demand, optimise energy use, and align products with regional preferences. Kennedy’s Bakery Production’s Editor, Kiran Grewal, explores this further.
