Industry 4.0 in the food sector

In Italy, the food & beverage sector ranks first in terms of production value. In fact, food & beverage accounts for 25 percent of GDP and employs more than one million people. However, for this sector to continue to develop sustainably, a transition to digitization must be implemented.

The needs of the industry

food and beverage Tesar

Traceability of products in the agri-food sector is crucial to ensure compliance with regulations and to detect problems along the production process. An efficient traceability system makes it possible to quickly identify defects or low-quality raw materials, limiting analysis only to the product units concerned without slowing down the entire process.

The quality of the production process and the final product is another priority in the agro-food sector. Quality control machines, such as sensors and cameras, automatically detect defects in food products, ensuring that only high-quality products are marketed. The data collected by these machines can be used to improve the efficiency and sustainability of production.

The interconnection of machines in Food Industry 4.0 makes it possible to analyse problems and reduce production bottlenecks by adapting the production rates and capacities of a line without completely interrupting the process.
