producttrends SHOP FROM TOP SUPPLIERS Ergonomic Equipment Steals the Show Efficiency, convenience and user-friendliness of production equipment was a major priority at IDDBA’s 2012 Dairy-Deli-Bake. Equipment trends at the show ranged from state of the art oven technology to innovative packaging materials. Each offered a unique method for simplifying instore operations. As shoppers show a growing appreciation for quick and simple meal options, to-go packaging is providing the convenience and efficiency needed by on-the-go consumers. Also, smaller containers offer a solution to increasing profits with small impulse sales as well as reduced storage space. Touch screen menus with easily identifiable graphics and instructions have replaced many of the old operating menus for ovens, proofers and washers. This removes the frustration and confusion from the bakery and deli department, as well as simplifies production for new staff members. Providing employees with simple and efficient tools can ease stress and reduce exhausting efforts, as well as streamline productivity.
