Abstract

With such a diverse portfolio of products in the food and beverage industry, digital-driven innovation is essential to the design of sustainable packaging solutions at PepsiCo. Innovation is important to gain first mover advantage, bring new products to market and win market share. These programs demand significantly higher agility without compromising established sustainability challenges such as waste reduction and recyclability. PepsiCo’s mission is: “We will enhance the human experience and maximize value through the power of digital solutions: a deeply interconnected internal ecosystem of people, processes, systems and data.” PepsiCo’s collaboration with Dassault Systèmes is key to creating disruptive technical breakthroughs through a single business platform that improves collaboration and realizes solutions more rapidly. In this presentation, Max will describe how PepsiCo is using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, along with internally developed advanced tools and capabilities, to achieve these goals and create more sustainable packaging in a global organization.
