“…IoT technology, one of the key technologies of Industry 4.0, has been proven to be a solution to this concern, as it allows to identify the product and provides its traceability from cultivation to the production chain during food processing [10]. It was also demonstrated that the adoption of Industry 4.0 within the food supply chain environment of the food sector could contribute immensely to the achievement of sustainability [11]. The integration of more 4.0 technologies such as AI, Big Data, Machine Learning, M2M (and others mentioned in the previous paragraph) will lead to a faster industrial transformation in the food sector.…”

The food industry has recently faced rapid and constant changes due to the current industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, which has also profoundly altered the dynamics of the industry overall. Due to the emerging digitalisation, manufacturing models are changing through the use of smart technologies, such as robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, etc. They are experiencing a new phase of automation that enables innovative and more efficient processes, products and services. The introduction of these novel business models demands new professional skills requirements in the workforce of the food industry. In this work, we introduce an industry-driven proactive strategy to achieve a successful digital transformation in the food sector. For that purpose, we focus on defining the current and near-future key skills and competencies demanded by each of the professional profiles related to the food industry. To achieve this, we generated an automated database of current and future professions and competencies and skills. This database can be used as a fundamental roadmap guiding the sector through future changes caused by Industry 4.0. The interest shown by the local sectorial cluster and related entities reinforce the idea. This research will be a key tool for both academics and policy-makers to provide well-developed and better-oriented continuous training programs in order to reduce the skill mismatch between the workforce and the jobs.

“…The quality control, traceability and monitoring of the raw materials are also made easy with the integration of this technology in the raw material sourcing and supply. (Ojo et al, 2018) The red lines in figure 4 show the relationship/connection of the production order process to all the operations within the food manufacturing supply chain environments. This process uses some components of industry 4.0 to effectively connect with these operations to achieve order fulfilment which is the ultimate goal of production, especially within the food industry.…”

Integration of Sustainability and sustainable practices have been of paramount importance within most manufacturers' supply chain environment globally. Apart from the fact that every organisation now use this to improve on their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), this is also used as an opportunity to manage production and services within most firms efficiently. This sustainability is now a strategy adopted by most businesses to meet their customers' expectation considering the sustainable society awareness of which food manufacturing is not an exception. The use of several innovative strategies and incorporation of Industry 4.0 has been employed by some food manufacturers to meet up with this sustainability. This paper through a qualitative research study seeks to bridge the interconnection between Industry 4.0 and sustainable practices within food manufacturing supply chain.
