Food Magic Daily Monday, June 3, 2019 1 8 Emerson: Solutions for Food Safety An interview with Paul Carlson, Vice President and General Manager for Foodservice Solutions, Emerson. FMD: What demands are changing the landscape of solutions you provide? PC: Food safety – with one in six Americans contracting foodborne illness- es each year, one 250-person outbreak has the potential to cost a QSR up to $1.9 million. Food quality – with global sales of healthy food products estimated to reach $1 trillion, the demand on quality is even higher on the people who produce, transport or sell food. Regulations – The Department of Energy (DOE) is mandat- ing energy reductions from 5 to 50 per- cent on various classes of commercial refrigeration equipment, which raises the demand for more efficient systems. Infrastructure and maintenance impacts – new strategies are in higher demand to minimize service disruptions. FMD: What solutions does your compa- ny offer to help tackle the issue of food safety? PC: Emerson offers a broad range of solutions, from harvesting, processing, transporting, distributing and end user operations. Our compressors and refrig- eration systems, industrial refrigeration, controls, loggers, trackers, temperature controls, and management and connec- tivity offerings collectively help ensure food safety all the way through the cold chain. Emerson solutions also include IoT-based technologies that can validate and manage temperature, humidity and other conditions; track transportation time and location; automate record-keep- ing, and improve other handling process- es. This sophisticated cold chain manage- ment helps maintain fresh food to the point of consumption, reduces food waste, improves food safety and drives compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and other regulations. FMD: How is IoT impacting your business strategy? PC: As equipment and devices become increasingly connected, the amount of information available through IoT is rapidly growing. Providing more data points means more complete information, a better under- standing of how equipment is operating and whether or not it's trending toward failure. The impact for us and the industry over the next five to 10 years will come from adding intelligence and extrapolat- ing more meaningful data. It will become more important to filter all the data that can be realized from IoT and push intel- ligence to the edge. It also will be impor- tant to be able to contextualize that data, provide smart interpretation and enable predictive maintenance and analysis. This will help reduce risk and mainte- nance costs and decrease equipment downtime even further. FMD: How important is the con- cept of connectivity as part of your offerings? PC: At the core of any foodservice operation is its ability to consis- tently prepare and deliver safe, fresh and high-quality products to its customers. From refrigeration to cook time tempera- tures, energy consumption to consumer foot traffic, product hold times to refrig- erator door openings, the range of infor- mation available grows every day. This data comes from communicating equip- ment, sensors, controls and local gate- ways, and is then transferred to the cloud (or another data repository) for remote access. Our IoT solutions continue to broaden and evolve to support the increase in revenue and operational effi- ciencies and enable proactive and pre- ventative maintenance from connectivity.

Mastery, the New Generation of Cold Press Machines by Zumex Often, due to the frenetic pace the vast majority of the population undergoes, the body is not given the care it requires. To fight against this reality, fruit and veg- etable juices are the best ally: a cocktail of vitamins, minerals and active enzymes that will provide energy and vitality. Would you like to learn about the differ- ent techniques for juice production? Are you familiar with the benefits of cold- pressed juices? Fruits and vegetables are vital food for humans. A large part of the benefit provided by these foodstuffs of a plant origin are due to their content of phyto- chemicals, a set of more than 25,000 sec- ondary metabolites that are synthesized by the plants and that are widely distrib- uted in more than 5,000 foods and bever- ages, playing a significant role in their color, flavor and aroma. The new Zumex Mastery cold press machine has joined the latest trend in the production of juices: eliminate all processes involving a treatment at high temperature to thus be able to obtain a cold press juice in which the quality of the raw material – both at an organoleptic level as well as at a nutritional level – is not altered in the final product, maintaining the taste and the micronutrients of the original foodstuff. The robust Zumex Mastery has a unique and revolutionary design, becoming the most ele- gant and efficient cold press machine on the market, which is easy to transport and clean due to its mobile base. Its efficiency in the pressing process and its power thanks to its grater discs and brushless motor allows for a produc- tion volume of up to 30 gal/h (up to 40 gallons with a trained operator and fruit with a high juice content such as cucum- ber, watermelon, melon, etc.). Soft fruit, hard fruit, fruit with skin, fruit without skin, green leafy vegetables, etc. Whatever source food and its condition, it will be possible to obtain a juice full of color, fla- vor and nutrients with a mini- mum of waste. If you are thinking about starting a juice business, buy the best equipment, invest in quali- ty. Fresh juice machines with cold press technology allow the extract- ing of the multiple benefits offered by fruits and vegetables.

Introducing The Perfect 10 Spatula By Brittany Clevenger, Editor, Franklin Machine Products Backed by 100 years of innovation, our team at Franklin Machine Products con- tines to seek out new, solution-based products in the foodservice industry. This year, we showcase one of our most popu- lar products of the year, The Perfect 10 Spatula™. The Perfect 10 is one of those magi- cal problem-solving products on the mar- ket. It's designed to reduce labor, save time and money, and preserve as much product as possible, all at an affordable price. Foodservice workers and restaurant owners alike know that time is vital in a business that's all about food. Timing alone can often overshadow the reputa- tion of a great dish and food preparation is a frequent culprit. Adding The Perfect 10 Spatula to your food prepara- tion routine is the only way to go. With its patented flexible, curved-blade edges, this product sets itself apart from a tradition- al flat spatula. With a traditional spatula or scraping tool, scoop- ing the product out, then scrap- ing the inside of the can will eventually yield all of your product. With the Perfect 10, its edges do most of the work by grabbing thick and viscous prod- uct, such as sauces, pastes, puddings and pie fillings with one turn of its ergonomically designed handle. In record time (an average of 10 seconds, ver- sus over 20 seconds with a traditional spatula), you will have an empty #10 can and more time to prepare for the rest of the day's service.
