Abstract :

As the advancements in technology improve; large, distributed, food businesses must adapt, adopt or die. The leading businesses know that food safety and compliance are cost centers and while extremely important to quality and safety, erode product margins. New technologies not only lower operating costs, they improve nearly all metrics and greatly impact your overall food safety culture. The best employees embrace technological tools and take pride in driving quality. Using cloud and mobility are second nature to all of us now and so it should be with compliance and quality monitoring. This presentation will discuss a number of different technologies such as mobility, internet of things (IoT) devices and sensors, wireless, internet, business intelligence, GS 128 barcodes and cloud reporting. While there are many global factors in the information age that make food safety more challenging, there are also many new and exciting technologies which can provide visibility and control. Food businesses must look into new ways to monitor critical control points and use real time information to drive food safety culture in their operations. Global enterprises need to leverage modern day technologies to monitor and enforce food safety cultures throughout their operations. Adoption of technologies should assist and facilitate better knowledge and understanding for the people that manage these dispersed procedures.
