In-store bakery

Supermarkets have relatively large production volumes for breads and these products are increasingly popular in shops which are putting forward innovative solutions in terms of quality, choice and customer service. The chains and managers of the bakery department have to deal with a high turnover, staff who are not always highly qualified and high production peaks, particularly at weekends. Due to fierce competition, supermarket bakeries have to deal with:

  • Quality and regularity of bread
  • Management of bread shortages and limitation of unsold products
  • Need for reliable, robust equipment, mechanically sized to accept high volumes and production rates
  • Labour and time management, recruitment and training of qualified personnel
  • Safety at work, respect for employees' working conditions
  • Management and traceability of raw materials
  • Optimisation of your development (cost reduction, profitability, etc.)
  • Compliance with production standards, available surface area, cleanliness of premises
  • Reduction of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD)

As a specialist in the mechanisation of dough, MERAND is constantly working, in particular with its R&D and baker-consultant teams, to provide solutions that take these requirements into account.
