Premium meat production with industrial automation infrastructure
Daily's operates a meat production facility across 500+ employees in Kansas City, built on industrial-control platforms (Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Mitsubishi Electric) and Microsoft enterprise stack. Manufacturing roles dominate current hiring (23 of 38 open positions), paired with active operational projects around lean manufacturing (5S, Kaizen) and ERP modernization—indicating a push to tighten production efficiency and data visibility across plant operations. Pain points center on process waste, downtime reduction, and supply-chain logistics (route and load optimization), the typical friction points for mid-scale food producers.
