“…The world's major economies are vigorously promoting or revitalising their manufacturing industries, and have introduced innovative development strategies for high‐end manufacturing, including the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation (NNMI) in the United States, the Strategy for American Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing (SALAM), Made in China 2025 (MIC2025), the 14th Five‐Year Plan for Intelligent Manufacturing Development (14th FYPIMD) in China, the Digitising European Industry (DEI) strategy and A New Industrial Strategy for Europe (ANISE). It means that FFD thereby requires ongoing adjustment to enable food producers to remain competitive (Moerman & Wouters, 2016). Most traditional food production is labour‐intensive, and modern technologies are often either ignored or not fully utilised by small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises, which is also a common problem in the food industry (Hasnan & Yusoff, 2018).…”

Food factory design (FFD) affects production costs, production safety and food quality. Moreover, as consumer demand, product planning, policies and legislation, raw material supplies, manufacturing philosophies and environmental consciousness change, FFD should also change. In this study, we used bibliometric analysis to examine articles on a wide range of topics related to FFD published in Web of Science from 2012 to 2022. We used collaborative network analysis, co-occurrence analysis, cluster analysis, timeline mapping and term burst detection to achieve the following objectives: (i) summarising the annual changes in the number of publications; (ii) detecting influential countries and institutions, major research areas, context and history and representative studies at different times; and (iii) identifying frontiers and forecasting development trends in terms of factory construction and new production modes, new processes and product manufacturing technology, optimisation of production systems and processes, intelligent manufacturing, environmental protection and sustainable development. The findings of this study provide an effective means of assessing the performance of FFD research. They also help enterprises and researchers to identify important trends in FFD and provide support for decision-making and policy formulation, and future directions for research and teaching activities.
