Survey highlights the opportunity and challenges of digitisation in the food industry

摘要

Many food manufacturers consider digitisation will have a huge role to play in the future of the food sector - but the majority still see a number of hurdles that need to be overcome in order to maximise the opportunity. This was a key finding of the 2018 CSB-System survey which canvassed the opinions of decision-makers within the food and beverage production industry across 29 countries. Respondents identified increasing retailer requirements, strict international legislation on food safety and traceability, and growing consumer demand for quality and freshness as key challenges that information technology (IT) could help to solve.
