Feeding the future: automation, robotics and digitalisation in food manufacturing
In this workshop at Food Manufacturing Live, Dr Bhavnita Patel, business development manager at The MTC, explores how automation, robotics and digitalisation are reshaping food manufacturing, unlocking efficiency, improving quality and reducing waste.
Bhavnita explains why companies must adopt these technologies now, despite barriers like cost and legacy systems. She looks at where these tools can be applied across operations, and how they enable a shift in workforce roles from repetitive tasks to more value-adding activities.
The session outlines who within the business must be involved for successful implementation, and when to begin, especially for those aiming to harness AI and build future-ready, resilient operations.
