Food Industry Automation
Food & Beverage
POA delivers food-safe automation, calibration, and compliance solutions that increase productivity and ensure purity across your operations.
Safety meets demand
Your facility must meet strict FDA food safety regulations while maximizing throughput and minimizing labor costs. Every system needs precise temperature control, complete traceability, and documentation that satisfies auditors.
+ FDA regulations demand documented proof of safety
+ Manual processes slow production and increase costs
+ Temperature deviations risk product loss and recalls
+ Fragmented vendors create compliance gaps

"In February 2015, the McKesson drug distribution facility in Memphis, Tennessee experienced a roof collapse due to an ice storm. The damage...(threatened) the CDC's entire US supply of vaccines for children. With Steve and Lonnie leading, the entire POA team provided 24/7 support to McKesson. With POA's collaboration, McKesson was able to stabilize the situation, install a new controller, and get it operational. In this situation, partnering with the right company saved McKesson from a potential $876,000,000 loss."
