Topics that will be addressed are:
- The need for Industry4.0 in food processing.
- Basic principles of I4.0 and food processing.
- Management process of developing new products and processes.
- Digital techniques as data collection, vision systems, Internet of things connected manufacturing sensors, Artificial Intelligence, digital twins, personalised production, robotics’ and more.
- Business applications, like ERP.
You will require technical, management, business and innovation skills. During the online training workshop, you will encounter real-life demos and exercises to gain hands-on experiences about the implementation of novel solutions in food processing.
