According to a recent LinkedIn post from Laminar (Formerly H2Ok Innovations), the company is drawing attention to what it describes as a permanent structural shift in food and beverage manufacturing from a few “hero” SKUs to hundreds of SKUs. The post highlights that this proliferation is putting pressure on product changeovers, where brands and co-manufacturers may see repeated product losses and excess buffer time due to conservative, timer-based flush cycles.

The LinkedIn post notes that changeover-related inefficiencies can prevent small time savings from translating into meaningful additional production windows. It points to commentary from Sanjay Rajan on how rapid changeovers have become a significant bottleneck and suggests that “self-optimizing” changeovers could help address these constraints. For investors, this focus implies that Laminar is positioning its technology or services around improving operational efficiency in high-mix F&B manufacturing, potentially targeting a growing pain point that could support customer adoption and recurring revenue opportunities if the approach proves effective.
