Economics of Scale from Automation - The World's Largest Baked Bean Factory
Jim Riley
28th January 2018
A simply stunning video here that takes you behind the scenes of the Heinz factory in Wigan, Lancashire that makes around 3 million cans per day.
There is an almost balletic feel to the camera work as we see the two-hour flow production process in action.
The scale and sophistication of the automated processes is eye-opening.
