Team Everywhere, a review of participating in 2026 Food Week Korea: presenting the AI MES 'ORCA' for food manufacturing sites

Team Everywhere Inc., an AI solution company specialized in manufacturing, participated in '2026 Food Week Korea (the 21st Seoul International Food Industry Exhibition).'

It was held at COEX in Seoul for four days, from November 4 to 7.

At this exhibition, in which more than 1,000 companies from Korea and abroad took part, Team Everywhere presented the AI MES solution 'ORCA' to visitors and buyers at COEX Hall C.

1. Booth setup and on-site preparation

Before the exhibition opened, Team Everywhere set up the booth to welcome people from the food processing and manufacturing industry.

To introduce ORCA, we screened the product introduction video, and also videos of the actual ORCA screen and the collaborative-robot demonstration.

We also placed introduction leaflets so that the information could be checked more easily.

2. Introduction to 'ORCA,' an AI MES specialized in food manufacturing

Food manufacturing sites have many process variables, such as high-mix, low-volume production, frequent rush orders, and management of raw-material expiration dates.

Paper documents or Excel files alone have limits for real-time management.

Through this exhibition, Team Everywhere focused on demonstrating the core functions of ORCA that simplify the complexity of food sites.

• A single data flow of orders and production: When a delivery customer's order sheet is registered, the required quantities of finished goods and semi-finished goods are calculated automatically. They are linked at once to the daily production plan and the on-site work order.
• Automatic data aggregation that keeps existing equipment: Without replacing the PLC used to control equipment, ORCA Edge Device, which links with photoelectric sensors and smart scales, is attached. It automatically collects operating time and the good quantity and defect quantity.
• A worker-friendly on-site interface: Complicated input items were left out. It was designed so that results can be recorded accurately on a tablet or smartphone with only the process-start, stop, and complete buttons.
• A real-time dashboard and target comparison: Through the widgets for average inventory amount, production quantity per hour, and process defect rate, on-site results can be managed while being compared side by side with the targets.

3. Looking around the exhibition hall

At the 2026 Food Week Korea site, we could feel high interest not only in finished foods and food-and-beverage exhibits, but also in food tech and process automation.

While looking around the exhibition hall, we could see novel products, and also things that made good use of regional characteristics.

We could check the food-tech and process-automation solutions that companies presented.

4. On-site business consultations with food-manufacturing contacts and buyers

During the exhibition, companies that produce various items visited the Team Everywhere booth and held in-depth consultations.

There were also people who did not know well about the smart-factory implementation support program, which is effective for reducing cost.

So we also gave guidance on it.

In the consultations, the heavy burden of implementation cost when adopting an existing MES, and discontinued use because on-site workers avoided input, were mentioned as common difficulties.

The constant mismatch between Excel ledgers and actual inventory was also mentioned as a common difficulty.

As concrete solutions, Team Everywhere introduced the free data migration service, which organizes existing ledger data and transfers it, the subscription model of $19 per person per month, which can be started with no initial implementation cost, and an intuitive UI that on-site workers can handle without burden.

This received a positive response from the working staff.

What received a particularly good response was the ORCA robot platform.

ORCA's collaborative robot supports a more efficient process, including the use of AI-vision Pick&Place.

We conveyed that it can be adopted at a lower cost.

5. Closing a four-day journey

2026 Food Week Korea was a meaningful place where we listened directly to the difficulties of actual food manufacturing sites, and confirmed the practical directions in which ORCA can improve operating efficiency.

We sincerely thank every visitor and buyer who came to the Team Everywhere booth despite a busy schedule, and who shared warm interest and valuable opinions.

Based on the voices from the site shared during the exhibition, Team Everywhere will continue to advance a data-centered process management solution that both workers and managers at food manufacturing sites can trust.
