Working Smarter & Staying Ahead

Turning Into AI – Not Away From It

At The Lewis Pie Co, we’re not sitting on the sidelines of change – we’re leaning into it. We see artificial intelligence as one of the most transformative tools of our time, and we’re embracing its potential to reshape how we work for the better.

While some businesses are cautious, we’ve taken the opposite approach. We actively encourage our team to experiment with AI tools and explore how they can make our workflows smarter and more efficient. From trend forecasting to quality control, AI is helping us stay ahead of the curve and deliver even more for our customers.

We believe that when used right, AI isn’t about replacing people – it’s about enabling them. It allows us to take repetitive, time-consuming tasks off the table and give our team space to focus on innovation and craftsmanship.

AI That Empowers, Not Replaces:

✔ Proactive use of AI for data analysis and forecasting trends
✔ Empowering staff to test and adopt AI tools across the bakery
✔ AI integrated into production systems to spot inefficiencies early
✔ Commitment to responsible, transparent AI innovation

Designed for Precision and Control

Built From the Ground Up

Off-the-shelf systems weren’t what we had in mind, so we created our own. Our bespoke platform connects every part of our business, giving us live data on production rates, purchasing and costs. This allows us to track yields and manage technical aspects and KPIs with unmatched accuracy.

  • Real-time production and cost visibility
  • Smarter stock rotation and inventory control
  • Data-led decision-making for continuous improvement
BUILT FOR THE FUTURE

Approach to Technology

Innovation isn’t about chasing trends – it’s about investing in the right systems at the right time. At The Lewis Pie Co, we’ve combined decades of baking expertise with modern technology and smart thinking and planning to create a leaner, smarter operation that benefits our customers, our team and the planet.

Smart Systems, Real Results:

✔ Custom software linking production and operations
✔ Integrated tools for purchasing and costings
✔ AI insights tracking trends, yields and performance
✔ Robotics to remove repetitive jobs and retain staff
✔ Full technical management and KPI reporting in one platform
✔ Focused, controlled investment in future-ready systems

💬 Case Study: Letting Robots Handle the Lift

Robotics: Automating the Heavy Lifting

A partnership with Welsh innovators Reeco Automation is helping us transform repetitive processes.

"We’ve always known there are jobs in any bakery that don’t add value – tasks where people are simply moving boxes from one place to another. These are hard roles to motivate and don’t make the best use of our team’s skills. For us, that made them the perfect target for robotic automation."

"We looked at the process in detail and modified the area to make it robot-friendly. Then, working with Reeco Automation, we installed a solution that now handles all of that movement automatically.

It’s been a real win-win – we’ve removed a repetitive, non-value adding job, freed up our team for higher-value tasks, and increased efficiency in that part of the bakery."

"What I like most about this project is that it shows how robotics isn’t about replacing people – it’s about enabling them. With automation taking care of the heavy lifting, we can upskill our team into roles that are more rewarding and better paid, while the robotics quietly keep things moving behind the scenes.”
