Siemens teams with FoodChain ID to enhance CPG compliance

Siemens Digital Industries Software has announced a collaboration with FoodChain ID to integrate compliance data into its Xcelerator software portfolio for the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) sector.

The inclusion of FoodChain ID's regulatory information within Siemens' Teamcenter software is designed to provide product development teams with early visibility on creating, manufacturing, and marketing products across various regions. This aims to simplify regional compliance complexities and support the production of sustainable consumer goods from within their preferred product lifecycle management (PLM) software.

Siemens' Integrated Lifecycle Management (ILM) digital thread will now feature FoodChain ID's expertise in compliance and regulatory data, based on Siemens' Teamcenter framework. This integration allows customers to transform their product development processes digitally by adopting lifecycle management practices that enhance collaboration, flexibility, and more effective use of intellectual property.

Clinton Chadwick, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at FoodChain ID, said, "We are excited to collaborate with Siemens to bring our expertise in formulation and regulatory compliance to the Teamcenter ecosystem."

"Teamcenter already includes Siemens' unrivaled expertise in process manufacturing and this collaboration enables us to deliver our best-in-class formulation capabilities and trusted regulatory compliance for the food and beverage, cosmetics, and personal care industries tightly integrated into Siemens' incredibly robust PLM solution."

Mario Vollbracht, Global Vice President of Consumer Products & Retail at Siemens Digital Industries Software, stated, "By adding compliance and regulatory information from FoodChain ID to our leading Integrated Lifecycle Management digital thread, the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio brings early and upfront visibility on how to design and market a product in different countries and regions."

"This collaboration will help product designers maintain product quality while also helping them to manage the complexities of compliance across the world's regions."

The collaboration has been well-received within the CPG industry, with Jill Powers, Vice President of Sales, USA, Siemens Digital Industries Software, affirming, "We value the collaboration with FoodChain ID. Over the past year, we have proven to the market, our customers and our prospects in the CPG industry that our combined offering allows for fast and meaningful consumer products innovations. FoodChain ID provides tailored technology, insights and expertise to food, beverage, ingredient, dietary supplement and cosmetic companies across the global supply chain."

"They are a trusted partner for integrated food safety, quality and sustainability services."
