Track: Digitalization

Round table on Mexico, the guest of honor country at Alimentaria FoodTech 2023. In it, the main businessmen and associations of the country will discuss the food industry in the Aztec country, business opportunities, as well as the most important challenges in regulatory, economic , technological, market demand, investment, among others.

The meat industry faces crucial challenges, such as the guarantee of quality and food safety, compliance with health regulations and the growing demand for transparency by customers and consumers. Traceability is a key element to address these challenges, since it allows the tracing of each meat product from its origin, ensuring its integrity and facilitating the identification and resolution of possible problems, in addition to giving added value to the processing tasks, allowing them to be optimized and obtaining a higher quality product.

In this presentation we will give examples of real applications of how we are mapping out the product, especially in the case of ham, to ensure a higher quality final product and how we relate this data to the ERP or customer database.

Practical cases in the food industry: How cutting-edge technologies such as digitization and automation have optimized food factories thanks to the use of robots.

Nevitec is a company, within the BCNvision group, dedicated to carrying out projects based on artificial vision for the food industry and the intra-logistics of companies. In the presentation you will be able to see all its standard solutions applicable to your industrial processes, from food quality controls to labeling, heat sealing and traceability controls. The solutions that Nevitec has available at its Stand B140 Pavilion 2 will be seen in greater depth. These solutions are ATRIA and NAOS. Both based on deep learning (deep learning). ATRIA is a solution that proposes to classify pieces and NAOS is a packaged product control solution. On the other hand, real images and videos of other food and logistics applications, the way the team works and others will be shown.

Digitalization is transforming the food industry, and its impact on pest control is significant. The future of pest management is based on technological innovation with a focus on sustainability. Smart sensors, real-time data analysis, and automated monitoring systems are revolutionizing the sector. These technologies enable more efficient detection, a proactive response, and documented service traceability, ensuring greater safety and loss reduction. Furthermore, digitalization is geared towards sustainability, reducing the use of chemicals and CO2 emissions, thus minimizing environmental impact.

Technology plus good management practices to achieve digital control, analysis and orientation towards the improvement of everything that happens in a factory, from raw materials to the final product, until reaching the perfect recipe (Golden Batch), through techniques of AI. Solution to two of the strategic lines of the EU and Next Generation funds: INDUSTRY 4.0 AND SUSTAINABILITY.

Cutting-edge technologies from the fields of AI, automation and vision solutions are increasingly being used with the aim of increasing the safety and efficiency of processes in companies.

Automation solutions (Practical example: “End of line solution“)

From the intelligent control of the entire material flow and flexible, fully automatic order picking to the control of automated racks: the consistent integration of machines and production lines facilitates online data recording and ensures maximum productivity of the machines used.

Vision and AI (Practical example: “CSB Eyedentifier at production start”)

Image processing technologies make it possible to identify and assess the quality of raw materials and products.

Two critical issues for the present and future of the food industry, and which are closely linked to each other, are the automation of manufacturing processes and the digitalization of production plants, but, in order to achieve the desired success, not everything is valid in these areas of action.

This session will identify some of the keys to success when implementing this type of projects, through the collection of accurate and truthful data, which will allow making decisions and optimizing processes, resulting in an increase in efficiency and, therefore, in the operational profitability of companies in the sector.
