The Food Safety Revolution: Differentiating Through the Power of Industry 4.0

Delivering food safety and quality has always been paramount, and it’s becoming ever more complicated as producers work to meet consumer demands for exotic ingredients, complex flavor profiles and fewer additives.

On top of seeking new, exciting products, today’s consumers are keenly interested in how their foods are produced and sourced, making expectations for traceability and transparency more prevalent than ever.

Gone are the days when manual logbooks could do the job. New demands call for a new approach, and there’s simply no way to move forward and without embracing new technology.

In this interview, we will explore how cutting-edge technologies, like artificial intelligence, smart machines and robots, can help your brand differentiate with next-generation products that deliver on consumer demands for flavor, quality and transparency.
