With significant clusters of COVID-19 infection among employees—16,000 cases and 86 deaths documented by the CDC through May 2020 — the food processing and distribution industry faces significant challenges in reopening their facilities and ramping up to full capacity. Technology for health and safety access governance and intelligence, along with guidelines from the CDC and OSHA, can help support food companies in the automation of certain compliance activities and a safe return-to-work strategy.

If there is something positive to come out of COVID-19, it might be a new awareness of how unprepared the world is for this type of enemy. Additionally, it is demonstrating how dependent many nations have become on other countries to provide manufacturing, fabrication and supply chain services for critical infrastructure components. We will recover, but things will never go back to normal after our “global reboot.” Companies that focus on security and critical infrastructure will emerge as force multipliers to guard against the next phase of uncertainty.

The events of the last 3 months have undoubtedly affected and changed life for most of us. COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on families and has been a wrecking ball for businesses and countries alike; supply chains broken, health services stretched to the limit, businesses mothballed and employees furloughed.

There will come a time when we emerge from this chrysalis state. There will be a time when we will return to our offices, resume business and recover from this global event. Possibly not returning in the same manner as we did before, but we will ‘rise’ again. In doing so, we will adapt new ways of working, revise existing strategies, and embrace new technologies all the while ensuring that the health and well being of our employees and customers are paramount.
