“…Nowadays, robots are used in numerous areas of the food industry such as seeding, spraying water, harvesting, cutting, processing and packaging of food products (Sun, 2016cited from Iqbal et al, 2017, meat processing and automatic quality detection of final bakery products. In addition, bottles are automatically cleaned, counted, filled and arranged on a conveyer belt with the help of robotic machines (Saravacos and Kostaropoulos, 2016 cited in Iqbal et al, 2017). The benefits of robots to the food industry can be illustrated as follows: kinematics, dynamics, control, hygiene, productivity and worker safety (Iqbal et al, 2017).…”

Production and technology are the two concepts which have a significant relationship with each other. The food and beverage industry is a broad industry where raw materials, semi-finished and finished foodstuffs are processed, packaged and distributed. In order to understand the effects of Industry 4.0 on the food and beverage industry; the issues of digitalization, interaction and future factories are examined in accordance with the relevant literature. The present study discusses the big data in the food and beverage industry, cloud computing, visual technologies, cyber-physical systems, 3D printers, and the ways of using smart factories. Based on a review of previous research studies, this study also offers specific recommendations for both practitioners and future research.

“…The SS technologies and systems that were seen as being crucial for implementation in company facilities are highlighted as follows. Big data and knowledge-based automation: in collecting, analysing, and making sense of a wide range of production data and semantic data from multimedia/social media [50], allowing companies to understand customer preferences and personalise products. Smart Systems: the immediate application of Smart Technologies and systems is to enable businesses to optimize production and also resource management and energy minimization throughout the supply chain [10,51].…”

Smart Systems Implementation in UK Food Manufacturing Companies: A Sustainability Perspective

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The UK food industry faces significant challenges to remain sustainable. With major challenges, such as Brexit, on the horizon, companies can no longer rely on a low labour cost workforce to maintain low production costs and achieve economic sustainability. Smart Systems (SS) is being seen as an approach towards achieving significant improvements in both economic and environmental sustainability. However, there is little evidence to indicate whether UK food companies are prepared for the implementation of such systems. The purpose of this research is to explore the applicability of Smart Systems in UK food manufacturing companies, and to identify the key priority areas and improvement levers for the implementation of such systems. A triangulated primary research approach is adopted that includes a questionnaire, follow-up interviews, and visits to 32 food manufacturing companies in the UK. The questionnaire and interviews are guided by a unique measuring instrument that the authors developed that focusses upon SS technologies and systems. This paper makes an original contribution in that it is one of the few academic studies to explore the implementation of SS in the industry, and provides a new perspective on the key drivers and inhibitors of its implementation. The findings suggest that the current turbulence in the industry could be bringing food companies closer to the adoption of such systems; hence, it is a good time to define and develop the optimum SS implementation strategy.

“…Future industrial manufacturing systems are most likely based on the cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) to produce smart products with larger flexibility [1][2][3]. This intelligent manufacturing concept evolved from the collaborative cyber-physical system (CCPS) definition in which integration of physical and computational components result in sensing and control of state variation in real world parameters [4,5]. Such a system is comprised of the physical hardware, sensor network as well as information, computer and communication technologies with human machine interface (HMI).…”

The paper introduces a security framework for the application of human-robot collaboration in a futuristic industrial cyber-physical system (CPS) context of industry 4.0. The basic elements and functional requirements of a secure collaborative robotic cyber-physical system are explained and then the cyber-attack modes are discussed in the context of collaborative CPS whereas a defense mechanism strategy is proposed for such a complex system. The cyber-attacks are categorized according to the extent on controllability and the possible effects on the performance and efficiency of such CPS. The paper also describes the severity and categorization of such cyber-attacks and the causal effect on the human worker safety during human-robot collaboration. Attacks in three dimensions of availability, authentication and confidentiality are proposed as the basis of a consolidated mitigation plan. We propose a security framework based on a two-pronged strategy where the impact of this methodology is demonstrated on a teleoperation benchmark (NeCS-Car). The mitigation strategy includes enhanced data security at important interconnected adaptor nodes and development of an intelligent module that employs a concept similar to system health monitoring and reconfiguration.
