Food production is now not just a local industry as food products are now transported across the globe allowing a huge variety of products to be available on our supermarket shelves.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons for food productions success has been the embracing of modern technology that has allowed many processes in the food production industry to be automated.<\/p>\n<p>The food industry does pose unique challenges when it comes to automation and computerisation such as the prevalence of water in food production areas. Various laws and good working practices mean that food production areas are regularly washed or hosed-down. This can cause obvious problems to computer or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armagard.co.uk\/products\/touch-screen\/industrial-touch-screen.html\">touchscreen<\/a> if they are used nearby as water will have catastrophic effects on any computer system.<\/p>\n<p>Many food production of manufacturing areas turn to waterproof computer enclosures to protect their computer systems from wash down.
