KELLANOVA USES AI TO PERFECT PRINGLES PRODUCTION

Kellanova's new AI project aims to streamline production of the iconic curved chip by leveraging Siemens' industrial technology expertise. Digital twins—virtual replicas of physical manufacturing processes—will allow engineers to test variations and identify inefficiencies without disrupting actual production lines. The partnership reflects broader industrial adoption of AI to boost manufacturing precision and reduce waste. By modeling dough behavior digitally, Kellanov can fine-tune ingredients, mixing times, and baking parameters to maintain consistency across European plants. The move comes as manufacturers increasingly turn to AI-powered automation and simulation tools to maintain competitiveness. Siemens has positioned itself as a key enabler of such transformations, offering software and infrastructure that integrate with existing factory operations. Details on timeline and specific production improvements were not disclosed.
