Krohne showcases role of measurement technology in the future of food at Saudi Food Manufacturing 2025
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — KROHNE Middle East proudly participated in Saudi Food Manufacturing 2025, where regional leaders, global experts, and technology pioneers convened to shape the future of food production across the Middle East and beyond. At the event's flagship Food Forward Summit, KROHNE underscored the vital role of precision measurement technology in transforming the food and beverage sector—linking Saudi Vision 2030 goals with on-the-ground industrial progress. During the summit, Henrik von Scheel, architect of Industry 4.0 and renowned futurist, forecast: In five years, Saudi Arabia will be the centre of the future of food along the Silk Road. This statement reflects the momentum behind the Kingdom's transformation. With more than SAR 90 billion in planned investment into food and agriculture and an annual sector growth of 7.3% CAGR, Saudi Arabia is emerging as a regional innovation hub (Invest Saudi). Jay Gadhavi, General Manager of KROHNE Middle East, highlighted the strategic value of KROHNE's involvement: 'Saudi Arabia isn't just scaling up—it's stepping into a leadership role in food innovation across the Silk Road economies. At KROHNE, we believe the backbone of this transformation is measurement. The ability to generate reliable, actionable data is what enables safer, more sustainable and more efficient food systems.' KROHNE's instrumentation technology empowers producers to deliver traceability, efficiency, and quality from raw materials to final product. Applications highlighted at the event included: Steam optimization in sugar production: energy use reduced by up to 20% with better °Brix control Inline pH monitoring in fermentation: up to 40% fewer batch failures, improving yield and reducing waste These capabilities are increasingly important as regional producers aim to meet international food safety standards while improving operational sustainability. Ryan Kromhout, KROHNE's Global Food Industry Expert, who joined the panel discussions, noted: 'You can install the best systems in the world—but without people who understand and trust the data, real change won't happen. Digital transformation must be cultural as well as technical.' The summit's atmosphere echoed this sentiment, with consensus among experts that aligning people, process, and purpose is critical to the region's food security ambitions. KROHNE is proud to support this transformation—delivering measurement solutions that not only monitor but empower the next generation of food producers across the GCC and along the Silk Road.

'Measurement technology can help the KSA transition to a low-carbon economy, ensuring long-term resilience.' – Jay Gadhavi, KROHNE
Jay Gadhavi, General Manager of KROHNE Middle East & Africa, has penned an excellent op-ed, in which he makes the case for how measurement technology is the key component in terms of enabling Saudi Arabia's Green Vision 2030 objectives. Enabling Saudi Arabia's Green Vision 2030 with Measurement Technology Saudi Arabia's Green Vision 2030 is transforming the Kingdom's economy, prioritizing sustainability, innovation, and resource efficiency. As the country moves toward a net-zero future, industries must adopt advanced technologies to track progress, reduce waste, and optimize operations. Measurement technology plays a critical role in this transition by providing the real-time data necessary for informed decision-making, regulatory compliance, and sustainable growth. The Role of Measurement Technology in Vision 2030 Saudi Arabia's sustainability goals focus on key areas such as carbon reduction, water conservation, renewable energy expansion, and industrial efficiency. Achieving these objectives requires accurate measurement across sectors to ensure accountability and continuous improvement. Decarbonization is a central pillar of Vision 2030, with the Kingdom committed to reaching net-zero emissions by 2060. Industrial sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, and manufacturing must drastically reduce their carbon footprint, and achieving this depends on precise emissions monitoring. Advanced measurement technology enables real-time tracking of CO₂, SOx, and NOx levels, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and improving carbon capture efficiency. By integrating flow measurement, gas analysis, and leak detection systems, companies can minimize emissions while optimizing energy use. Saudi Arabia is also positioning itself as a leader in green hydrogen production, with projects like NEOM's hydrogen plant set to supply sustainable energy worldwide. Producing hydrogen efficiently requires precise monitoring of electrolysis performance, water consumption, and purity levels. High-precision sensors and analyzers ensure that hydrogen plants operate at peak efficiency, minimizing energy waste and maximizing output. The same applies to solar and wind energy, where real-time performance data helps optimize generation and grid stability. Water conservation is another critical priority, as Saudi Arabia invests heavily in desalination, wastewater treatment, and smart irrigation. Advanced flow and level measurement solutions ensure efficient water distribution, reduce losses, and optimize treatment processes. In desalination plants, continuous monitoring helps maintain energy efficiency, while smart irrigation systems use real-time data to prevent water waste in agriculture. These technologies are essential to balancing the Kingdom's rapid development with long-term resource sustainability. Smart Cities & Infrastructure: Building a Data-Driven Future Saudi Arabia's urban transformation includes large-scale projects such as NEOM, The Line, and Qiddiya, which integrate smart technologies to minimize environmental impact. Measurement technology is fundamental to these cities, ensuring energy optimization, waste reduction, and air quality control. Smart grids, for example, rely on real-time energy data to balance supply and demand, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Similarly, IoT-enabled infrastructure provides actionable insights across transportation, construction, and resource management, helping create more efficient and sustainable urban environments. Monitoring air and water quality is equally important, particularly in high-density areas where pollution levels can affect public health. By continuously tracking key environmental indicators, cities can respondproactively to pollution, ensuring cleaner air and safer water supplies for residents. These initiatives highlight how measurement technology supports the vision of building future-ready cities that align with Saudi Arabia's sustainability objectives. Driving Industrial Efficiency & Sustainable Growth Industrial operations across the Kingdom are undergoing a fundamental shift toward sustainability. The Circular Carbon Economy framework, a key initiative within Vision 2030, emphasizes carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). Implementing this strategy requires highly accurate monitoring systems to measure capture rates and assess storage integrity, ensuring that emissions reductions are both effective and verifiable. In the oil and gas sector, advanced flow measurement improves process efficiency, helping companies reduce flaring and overall emissions. In manufacturing, smart sensors optimize production, reducing energy consumption and minimizing material waste. These innovations allow industries to align with Saudi Arabia's environmental goals while also enhancing operational efficiency and competitiveness. The Business Case for Measurement-Driven Sustainability For businesses operating in Saudi Arabia, integrating advanced measurement technology is not just about regulatory compliance—it is a strategic advantage. Companies that adopt real-time monitoring solutions can demonstrate environmental responsibility to investors and stakeholders, access green financing and incentives, and optimize their operations for greater profitability. As global markets increasingly prioritize sustainability, businesses that invest in precision measurement will be better positioned for long-term success. A Measurable Path to Net Zero Saudi Arabia's Green Vision 2030 is setting a global benchmark for sustainable transformation. By leveraging measurement technology, industries can accelerate their transition to a low-carbon economy, ensuring long-term resilience and growth. Accurate, real-time data is the foundation for achieving the Kingdom's ambitious sustainability goals—turning vision into reality.
