Snack production line manufacturer Reading Bakery Systems expands Science and Innovation Center Services

Reading Bakery Systems (RBS), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of baked snack production systems, announces the expansion of their Science & Innovation Center’s product development and equipment testing capabilities by offering new Virtual Trials and hiring additional food technologists.

Travis Getz, Vice President of Operations for RBS:
 

"While businesses are still being impacted by pandemic-­related restrictions, consumer demand for new and healthier snack foods has accelerated. In so, we needed an efficient and effective way to serve our customer’s ever-­changing product innovation and development efforts with the expertise they expect from RBS."

RBS Virtual Trials provide remote access to the Science & Innovation Center’s capabilities including product development, equipment testing and demonstration, and production of samples. Expanding our staff of experienced food technologists will help guide these Virtual Trials for customers and provide invaluable on­-site expertise.

Travis Getz:
 

"Full access, multi­-media content is shared in real­-time, just as it would be if the customer were with us on­-site, regardless of their physical location around the globe. There are multiple benefits of the virtual offerings, including no travel costs, and reduced coordination and time commitments."

The RBS Virtual Trials result in a more efficient product trial, by simplifying communications, operations, and approval of the products and process.

During the trial, participants communicate with the RBS team by video conference, view the production floor from wide angle cameras, capture discrete video and still images, receive reports capturing process settings, and can have product samples shipped for analysis.

RBS is actively recruiting food technologists and any interested, experienced professionals are invited to apply.

The RBS Science & Innovation Center is currently open and available for in­-person product testing as well. RBS complies with all state and local pandemic protocols for personnel safety.
