Produced by Hanna-Barbera and airing in the 1960s, “The Jetsons” was a futuristic TV cartoon that featured flying aerocars with bubble tops, moving walkways and a space-age family (George, Jane, Judy, Elroy and dog Astro) living in a high-rise Skypad apartment with Rosie the Robot handling all household chores in Orbit City. While today’s dairy processing plants don’t include computer-generated holograms, elaborately designed automatic equipment and the ability to harness the power of water and wind into solar energy are just a few sustainability tactics construction engineers are utilizing to design and build the dairy plant of the future.
Experts note that streamlining dairy production through automation is a crucial step. Dublin, Ireland-based Research and Markets predicts that the warehouse automation market will climb to $41 billion by 2027, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of almost 15% between 2022 and 2027.
