At this year’s Genius of Things (GoT) event in Boston, IBM announced that we are working with Golden State Foods to embrace two big opportunities for growth and change in the food services industry. Golden State Foods are using Watson IoT to assist fleet management and safety for their 2,000+ trucks, and creating connected restaurants in over 125,000 locations.
To say that Golden State Foods operate on a large scale is something of an understatement. They are one of the largest diversified suppliers to the food service industry, servicing around 125,000 restaurants in over 60 countries from their 50 locations, and producing 400,000 hamburger patties per hour. Many of the restaurants they supply are quick serve and rely on speedy, safe and quality food production and delivery to meet their customers’ expectations.
Innovating with IoT and Blockchain
Innovation is something of a watch word for Golden State Foods. And for them, it means something very different from exotic menus, cocktails in jam jars and pickling unusual foodstuffs. Instead, it means adopting cutting-edge technology like IoT and Blockchain to optimize operations, drive efficiency and cut unnecessary costs.
When time is of the essence and operating scales are vast, the IoT can add tremendous value. Golden State Foods is using insights from connected things to improve the management and safety of its 2,000+ trucks, to ensure that its customers receive their food supplies on time and in top condition.
