Dit keer duiken we in de wereld van sensortechnologie in de voedingsindustrie voor kwaliteitscontrole!   Ontdek hoe real-time monitoring kan leiden tot betere productkwaliteit en minder faalkosten, met interessante sprekers:   👉 Vision Partners BV en VION FOOD (NL DIVISION) LIMITED delen hun expertise en de mogelijkheden van sturen op vetkwaliteit door het in-line meten met hyperspectrale sensortechnologie in de vleesverwerking. 👉 Balluff EMEA geeft een bredere blik op verschillende type sensoren in de voedselverwerkende industrie én een nieuwe ontwikkeling, waar momenteel applicaties getest worden in het Development Lab bij QING | Forward Engineering; RadarImaging (een bestaande bewezen technologie die ook wordt gebruikt bij de controles op vliegvelden, maar nu toepast voor industriële applicaties✈️). 👉QING | Forward Engineering Sensoren zijn natuurlijk een belangrijk middel om data te verzamelen. Maar hoe ga je deze data gebruiken om meer controle over je proces en productkwaliteit te krijgen? QING zal op basis van een aantal usecases laten zien hoe deze sensoren i.c.m. AI, meetbare impact heeft op de productie en verwerking van food.   📅 Datum: 1 oktober 2024  🕒 Tijd: 14:30 - 17:00 uur  📍 Locatie: Mikrocentrum, Veldhoven   Registreer hier: 👉link: https://lnkd.in/eH_bv4Zs   Agrifood | NXTGEN Hightech   #FoodTech #Innovatie #Voedingsindustrie #SensorTechnologie #Kwaliteitscontrole #NextTechFoodFactories

Robotics sounds like the ideal solution to the current challenges facing food producers, but is it? Robots offer many benefits and opportunities, such as increasing productivity and alleviating labor shortages. But there are certainly challenges involved as well... Investment is logically a serious consideration. In addition to a significant financial commitment, it also requires a strategic approach to align implementation with the company's long-term goals. A common challenge is integrating robots into existing production lines; this can be very complex. This requires adjustments beyond just installing a machine. Personnel should certainly not be missing from this. Although robots can take over many tasks, there is still a need for qualified personnel to operate and maintain this technology. The shortage of technical specialists makes it difficult for companies to bring the necessary knowledge in-house. This lack of expertise can be a stumbling block to the successful implementation of robotics. Despite these challenges, robotics still offers tremendous opportunities for companies in the food industry. However, it requires a thoughtful approach that incorporates financial, operational and human factors. Is your company already working on robotization?

Every business has valuable data. It is a missed opportunity if this is not used to its full potential. More knowledge means better control. Structuring data provides insights. Effectively measuring, analyzing and deploying this data provides a solid foundation for growth. Data enable you to: ➡️ Gain insight into current processes and performance, ➡️ Make better decisions, ➡️ Respond more effectively to customer needs, ➡️ operate more efficiently, and ➡️ meet the demands of an ever-changing marketplace. Data is critical to achieving this. By using data in a smart way, you can make decisions with confidence and minimize risk. They serve as an effective tool for controlled growth, especially in the food industry. There are countless ways to use data to your advantage. How do you use data to improve your processes? https://lnkd.in/eJFVKPp6 #data #foodindustry #foodprocessing #ai

"Technology is driving the future of the food industry" is often said, but what does that mean for a process operator? Technology can solve many of today's challenges, but not all. For that, you really need people with the right knowledge and experience. The demand for automation solutions is growing rapidly and this has a direct impact on operations. Routine work is becoming less and less as a result. This offers opportunities, but also requires new knowledge and skills from employees. Automation does not mean the loss of jobs; rather, it is an opportunity for your employees to grow. By giving your employees the opportunity for personal development with the advent of new technologies, you offer them perspective and the chance to do more challenging work. Wondering how to involve employees in innovation plans and how to keep everyone motivated during an innovation journey?

That robotics is a trending topic among food producers is quite clear... Sebastiaan Schreijen and Niels Snoep from Rabobank have discussed this with 22 medium-sized food manufacturers. They all indicated that they are involved with robotics in some way; some are still in the thinking phase, while others are already considering upgrading or replacing their current robots. Robotics seems to be the solution for many challenges within the food industry, but it doesn’t come without its own set of challenges. These include investment risks and adapting the production process. Want to know more about what to consider when implementing robotics?
