Panel discussion - Digitalisation, robotics and automation

Pandemics, shortages of raw materials and skilled workers, sustainability issues and much more have kept the industry on its toes in recent years. Digitalisation and automation are supposed to offer an answer to many challenges. But where do companies in the food industry stand in the development towards Industry 4.0? What are the important key technologies? What are the current implementation challenges? How can digital transformation look like successfully? The panel discussion provides answers to current questions on the topics of “digitalisation, robotics and automation”.
