Automating Food Safety with Normex
In this episode, we sit down with Tanguy Etoga, founder and CEO of Normex, to dive into the often overlooked but critically important world of food safety management.
Tanguy shares his fascinating journey from a childhood in Cameroon—where a conversation with his father about preserving mangoes year-round sparked his passion—to becoming a food safety consultant and tech entrepreneur revolutionizing how small and medium food businesses handle compliance.
What We Discovered:
- Why our industry is traditionally slow to adopt new technology (spoiler: we're too busy making food!)
- How AI and IoT sensors are transforming tedious paperwork into streamlined digital processes
- Real examples of companies saving $60,000+ in six months through automation
- The hidden costs of manual food safety processes that most of us don't realize we're paying
- Why even small food businesses with just 2 employees need proper food safety systems
- How one ice cream company freed up 3 quality employees to move into production
My Key Takeaways: From temperature monitoring that used to require hourly manual checks to AI-powered corrective action plans, Tanguy shows us practical applications of technology that actually work—not just buzzword solutions. This isn't about replacing people; it's about eliminating the mundane tasks so our teams can focus on what matters: making great food safely.
Whether you're a food processor, manufacturer, restaurant, or anywhere in our supply chain, this conversation offers valuable insights into protecting your business, your customers, and your reputation. I'll admit, food safety isn't the sexiest topic we've covered, but it might be one of the most essential.
