Digitalization will play an important role in the milling industry in the near future
by Arvin Donley

82

igitalization is starting to play a bigger role in
many industries worldwide, and the milling industry is no exception. Peter Striegl, head of
business development in Bühler's Wheat and Rye business unit, and his team are working to make mills "intelligent" through digitalization.
Experts anticipate that by 2020, 4 billion people
will be digitally connected with each other, 25 million
apps will be in use, a total of 25 billion sensors will
be monitoring processes in productive operations and a
total of 50,000 billion gigabytes of data will be stored
worldwide.
Striegel recently discussed this trend and how it will
apply to the milling industry with World Grain.

D

WG: What is digitalization as it relates to milling?
Striegl: In addition to automatic control systems,
modern mills are increasingly equipped with various
VHQVRUVWKDWGHWHFWGLYHUVHVSHFL¿FGDWDDQGUHSRUWWKHVH
to a central control. This is where digitalization comes
into play. The stored data are transformed into signals
that can be further processed. Even though many mills
are equipped for the digitalization step, there still aren't
many mills that actually evaluate the data they collect
and link the individual processes. We estimate that
about 95% of all the data that is collected is not evaluated. After automation, digitalization is the next logical
step on the way to intelligent milling. But we are still at
the beginning of digitalization in the milling industry.

WG: So many aspects of our lives are now impacted
by digitalization. Has the digital age reached the
milling industry as well?
Striegl: Yes and no. Modern mills are mostly automated already, meaning they are centrally controlled.
The majority of individual processes run autonomously. But that, in and of itself, does not yet have a lot to
do with digitalization.

WG: What are the reasons for this?
Striegl: The topic of digitalization is just at its beginning; it is very complex and it is also abstract. Many
millers don't know what to think about it, or only have a

A survey of 17 different industries carried out by the IT
company Cisco Systems found that downtime is reduced
