Bas Hazewinkel, Business Development Manager Food / Feed and Beverage at ICT Group: ‘This means that the software ICT will provide in Cuijk is based on a proven and fully operational Wonderware Manufacturing Execution System (MES) – the linking pin between customer demand and the machines delivering the right product.
