Lahore (Urdu Times) TETRA PAK®️ FACTORY OS™️ WINS MIMA 2026 SCALE! AWARD FOR ENABLING COST-EFFICIENT GROWTH IN FOOD AND BEVERAGE MANUFACTURING

Lahore (Urdu Times): Tetra Pak has won the Microsoft Intelligent Manufacturing Award (MIMA) 2026 in the Scale! category for its next-generation automation and digital portfolio, Tetra Pak®️ Factory OS™️. The Scale! award recognises intelligent industrial solutions leading the way in the breadth of value chains, clients or internal processes they impact, across different levels of maturity.

The judges recognised Tetra Pak®️ Factory OS™️ for its ability to help food and beverage producers expand output, introduce new products more quickly and reduce production costs in an increasingly challenging geopolitical and economic environment. As rising food prices and input costs place pressure on food producers, the platform enables food and beverage producers to improve efficiency and strengthen operational resilience while safeguarding product quality.
Awais Bin Nasim, Managing Director of Tetra Pak Pakistan said, “Pakistan’s food and beverage industry holds significant growth potential, but challenges such as energy inefficiencies, supply disruptions, and fragmented data continue to constrain progress. As producers face growing pressure to do more with fewer resources, this award recognises the real-world impact of advanced automation in making factory data truly usable at scale. With Tetra Pak®️ Factory OS™️, manufacturers can turn complexity into clarity—enabling real-time, data-driven decisions that boost efficiency, reduce waste, and build a strong foundation for AI-driven manufacturing.”

Deployable across sites with varying levels of digital maturity, Tetra Pak®️ Factory OS™️ strengthens operational performance, accelerates digital transformation at scale and opens new growth opportunities by bringing coherence, repeatability and intelligence to end-to-end factory operations. Built with security-by-design and layered defences to protect operations and data amid today’s heightened geopolitical cyber risk, it provides an AI-ready foundation that turns real-time data into contextualised insights for faster, smarter decisions.

The Microsoft Intelligent Manufacturing Award (MIMA) recognises innovative industrial solutions that drive measurable impact through intelligent manufacturing technologies. Granted by Microsoft and Roland Berger, the award followed a competitive evaluation process. Tetra Pak was shortlisted and presented its solution to an independent jury before being named winner in the Scale! category. Tetra Pak®️ Factory OS™️ will be formally recognised at Hannover Messe on 22 April 2026.
