The emergence of Industry 4.0 can be best envisaged when its nine technological drivers or known as Industry 4.0’s pillars are understood, namely Big Data and analytics, autonomous robots, simulation, horizontal and vertical integration, cybersecurity, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the cloud, augmented reality and additive manufacturing. Additionally, their application areas in the food sector. These include intelligent manufacturing, food safety, training, marketing and other functions commonly found in the food industry. The advantages such as automated tasks, cost reduction, systematic management, and compliance with standard and resource efficiency are presented.
Despite the progressive developments in the food sector, it is recommended that research and studies are conducted to investigate the feasibility of the Industry 4.0 technologies among the small- and medium-scaled companies as they are the major establishments in the food sector for many countries. The cost of investment, maintenance and applicable concepts would be the issues of interest. Another obvious question would be the technical readiness related to the data management, infrastructure, data mining, privacy, security, and chaos. With the increased connectivity and use of standard communication protocols, the requirement for protecting the industrial systems from cybersecurity threats also increases significantly. As a result, continuous improvements will have to be made for secure communication, sophisticated data management and effective policy enforcement. Another anticipated direction will be the development of interactive and user-friendly interfaces. The interfaces must be tailored to the type of application and purposes that the users expect. The determining factor would be ease of learning, accurate job execution and reduction in thinking load.
While Industry 4.0 is relatively new, companies are expected to take advantage of Industry 4.0 innovations in the next years. Some may take an immediate investment and some may opt for a wait-and-see approach. This decision may be influenced by the maturity level of the specific technologies and the required workforce profile. A clear advantage would be an increased competitiveness of the companies and region. Nonetheless, an important fact that needs to be grasped is that the uptake of the technologies will depend on the understanding of the company’s problems, requirements and capabilities. Only when the purpose of the technology meets the company’s need and fits within their potential, then the company is able to make use of the technological advantages suitably.
The technological revolution or known as Industry 4.0, is a paradigm that envisages the use of sensors, machines, workpieces and IT system that is connected to the value chain beyond a single organization. As in other industries, the food processing sector is expected to embrace Industry 4.0 progressively. Yet, it is understood that new issues also arise especially when considering the common small- and medium-scaled food processors that are plagued with capital, skill, know-how and technological constraints. Hence, future studies are recommended on areas related to cybersecurity, modified workforce profile, user-friendly interface requirement, applicable concept for the small companies and their readiness for the technology.
