Every food production facility needs protection – not just during inspections, but around the clock. That’s the idea behind Guardians of Food Safety, a new initiative from ifm that helps food and beverage manufacturers safeguard their operations using real-time monitoring and intelligent automation.
With product recalls on the rise across Australia, the cost of safety failures – from reputational damage to financial loss – has never been higher. ifm is helping producers respond with practical digital tools that are built to prevent contamination, maintain compliance, and keep production running smoothly.
The campaign introduces a friendly face in the form of MARTI (‘Measurable. Accurate. Reliable. Tough. Innovative.’) and his fellow food instrumentation guardians who work behind the scenes in key applications like CIP, filling, and process tanks to ensure hygiene standards are met, equipment is performing to spec, and data is collected for auditing and analysis.
Designed for seamless integration, ifm’s IO-Link-enabled systems connect easily to existing infrastructure, making the shift to digital food safety simpler and more accessible than ever. From smart flow meters to diagnostic-enabled temperature sensors, these technologies provide real-time visibility and peace of mind in critical production areas.
ifm has been helping manufacturers meet global food safety standards since 1969. This latest initiative strengthens that legacy – giving Australian producers new ways to stay competitive, reduce waste, and demonstrate safety to regulators and consumers alike.
Whether the goal is safer processes, greater efficiency, or reducing waste, ifm’s food safety solutions are built to do all three. Because when it comes to protecting what matters, not all heroes wear capes.
