Leveraging technology to innovate and optimize nutrition for global impact

Modelling & Simulation

At Danone, we apply advanced modeling and simulation technologies to streamline our product development and manufacturing. These tools enable us to design nutritionally superior products tailored to diverse consumer needs, more efficiently and with greater scientific precision.

A snapshot of our digital technologies

At Danone, we integrate state-of-the-art digital tools, including multi-phase simulation and virtual modeling to simulate complex physical and biological processes. These technologies support everything from product formulation to production line optimization.

 

By combining hybrid and mechanistic modeling, we replicate biological reactions such as fermentation to improve manufacturing efficiency. Our tools also predict and optimize product stability and texture, enabling us to fine-tune processes and consistently deliver high-quality, nutritionally superior products.

Improving flavor and texture

Taste and texture are central to consumer experience. At Danone, we use advanced digital modeling to simulate and optimize these sensory attributes. By analyzing ingredient interactions, we ensure flavors and textures meet our quality standards and consumer expectations. This approach allows us to fine-tune consistency, fruit crunchiness, and mouthfeel—delivering a superior sensory experience in every bite.

Optimizing processes for maximum efficiency

At Danone, we use advanced simulation techniques to optimize production systems and reduce trial-and-error. For example, in milk filtration, we identify the most effective configurations while minimizing testing, saving time, resources, and raw materials. By modeling scenarios such as line blockages or heat treatment challenges, we ensure smoother operations and greater efficiency. This data-driven approach accelerates development and supports more sustainable manufacturing.

Pioneering the future of food innovation

At Danone, we are advancing nutritional innovation through deep expertise in modeling and simulation. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies—including digital twins and in silico modeling—we design food and beverage solutions that meet our highest nutritional and quality standards. This approach also enhances production efficiency, helping us deliver health through food to as many people as possible.
