As a commercial baker, you know that energy costs can “knead” deep into your profits. Between ovens running around the clock and HVAC systems working overtime, even small inefficiencies add up. That’s why I’m counting down the days to IBIE 2025, the premier baking expo in North America! I’ll be on the look out for the latest energy-saving solutions for bakers. If you’re serious about cutting costs without cutting quality, this trade show will offer plenty of solutions.
Gone are the days when sustainability meant compromising on performance. At IBIE 2025, you’re sure to find next-gen ovens with precision heat recovery, AI-driven baking systems that optimize energy use in real time, and advanced insulation materials that keep heat where it belongs (in your products, not your utility bill). Imagine reducing your energy consumption by 20% or more while maintaining the perfect bake. Not only is that a win for your bottom line, it’s a win for the planet!
Energy Efficiency Must-Sees
I’ll be walking the show floor on the lookout for innovators showcasing breakthroughs like:
- Hybrid oven systems that switch between gas and electric based on demand, slashing idle energy waste.
- Smart dough proofers with adaptive humidity controls.
- Low-energy deck ovens that deliver consistent results with half the power draw.
Let’s not forget about renewable energy integrations. Solar-powered bakeries are becoming a reality, and I’m excited to see how exhibitors at the show will highlight how to make the transition seamless.
The baking industry is evolving, and as it does energy efficiency is becoming a necessity. Whether you’re a small artisan bakery or a large-scale production facility, IBIE 2025 offers the tools, tech, and expertise to help you bake smarter, not harder. See you at the show!
