In a strategic collaboration, Dassault Systèmes and Bel Group are joining forces to drive the food industry’s transition towards a more sustainable model. This partnership aims to revolutionize the end-to-end value chain of food production using advanced digitalization powered by artificial intelligence, from product conception to market launch.

The global challenge of sustainably feeding a population of 10 billion by 2050 has created a demand for innovative food technologies and efficient methods for developing and manufacturing healthy, sustainable products in a heavily regulated industry.

Bel Group will harness Dassault Systèmes’ “Perfect Production” industry solution experience on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of its manufacturing operations across 11 plants worldwide. Key components of this transformation include manufacturing operations management, food and materials sciences, AI, and product lifecycle management.

Through manufacturing operations management, Bel Group will empower its workforce with digital tools to streamline production, respond to market demands, optimize inventory levels, and reduce raw material consumption. This will enable Bel Group to produce sustainably with consistent quality at any location.

By leveraging AI, Bel Group can adapt to consumer needs through sustainable development and innovative breakthroughs by analyzing vast amounts of data and utilizing machine learning for enhanced products and packaging. This collaboration will provide valuable insights into the food industry, reducing time-to-market, optimizing formulations, accelerating product development, and enhancing performance.

With product lifecycle management, a unified environment will facilitate collaboration, ensuring timely access to the right information. This seamless process from product ideation to market release simplifies decision-making and enhances business operations.

According to Cécile Béliot, CEO of Bel Group, “Food transition towards a more sustainable model needs disruptive players and actions in the decade to come. Through this unique and long-term partnership, we want to pioneer new solutions and accelerate our transformation.”

Bernard Charlès, Executive Chairman of Dassault Systèmes, emphasizes, “Our partnership with Bel Group will be a game-changer in the critical food industry. Together, we can further its mission to offer healthier, inventive food choices that are produced more sustainably.”
