Transforming BKI Foods’ production: QR-codes, reusable coffee bags and roasting data

Denmark’s largest producer of coffee, BKI Foods, has been on a 20-year long journey to digitize their manufacturing process and make it more environmentally friendly. Among the results are the invention of a reusable coffee bag, a new roasting process which reduces energy consumption by 20 pct. and a QR-system which eliminates failures in the packaging process by 95 pct.
