Proceedings of the European Union’s Contention in the Reshaping Global Economy

Abstract

The study examines the appearance of Industry 4.0 and digitalization in the food industry that is not typically considered high-tech. Our aim was to point out that Industry 4.0 is also present in the food industry and offers many opportunities in two areas that are a particular focus of this industry: increasing traceability and food safety. During the research, we asked seven companies about their digital development and Industry 4.0 experience. We have explored the factors that drive companies to adopt digital solutions and the technologies that have been applied. Our results show that companies, not consciously moving towards Industry 4.0 but taking advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalization, are making improvements, often with a lack of workforce, eager to reach higher efficiency and thus competitiveness, as well as to serve the company's growth strategy.

“…A magyarországi feldolgozóipari vállalatok körében végeztünk 2019-ben egy kérdőíves felmérést, amelynek célja a vállalati teljesítmény és a menedzsment által alkalmazott módszerek, illetve a vezetői képesség, attitűd közötti kapcsolat feltárása volt. Juhász, Reszegi & Hajdú (2020) által elemzett 1725 magyarországi feldolgozóipari vállalat összesen 3970 vezetőjéhez küldtük ki az online kérdőívünket. A megkeresett vállalatvezetők 9,5%-a kezdte meg a kérdőív kitöltését.…”
