2012 Food Industry Outlook: A Taste of Things To Come

2012 Food Industry Outlook: A Taste of Things To Come. This industry outlook provides some interesting "food for thought" (so to speak) on how we, as providers of industrial automation solutions, can best help our customers to meet the needs of consumers for more variety, faster access to information, and more cost-effective offerings.  Certainly, the trend of "bespoke" solutions can be applied to our customers--who wouldn't want customized solutions, just for them?  Does this mean our partner community needs to become better adapted and responsive to these customer demands?  Or can we provide semi-off the shelf applications that allow the type of customization (beyond face plates) that meet these needs?  What do you all think?
