Smart and sustainable food processing sector by integration of the concepts of the technologies behind Industry 4.0
The aim of this review was to evaluate possibilities of implementing concepts of Industry 4.0 including big data optimization, integration of sensors, artificial intelligence, and Internet of things (IoT), leading to the lowest possible costs and the highest possible output through smart control of the process, sustainable production, and monitoring. Sensors are vital components of Industry 4.0 and different types of detectors and sensors are used in the food packaging industry to convey information about food quality and to increase food safety. The paper will discuss time-temperature indicators, visual (color) indicators, O2 and CO2 indicators, freshness indicators, pH indicators, poison indicators and a radio frequency indicator that automatically detect and track the product. Based on credit card use it is possible to reveal the behavior of the customers and consumers. Virtual shops are popular for office workers. By using artificial intelligence, it is possible to create a robotic kitchen, which can cook according to the wishes of users, while 3-D printing technologyis used to cut food in certain shapes.
