The food and beverage industry is witnessing a constant revolution in terms of technology, machinery, and packaging. Novel processing technologies are increasingly attracting the attention of food processors by their high-end efficiency to reduce the adverse effects of thermal processing and provide food products with improved quality and a reduced environmental footprint.

Besides, emerging advanced processing equipment is effective in preventing contamination of the diseases, raising the shelf-life of meat and poultry products and retain maximum nutrients, with no or minimal impact on its quality. Also, the implementation of technologically advanced meat and poultry processing equipment reduces the cost of keeping the food fresh, which increases productivity.

Automation technology in the poultry sector drives efficiency, reduces waste, and automates more tasks in the poultry processing line than ever before. Robotic machines help to eliminate safety issues for the more dangerous jobs in this sector. Furthermore, automation combined with data analytics helps to insulate poultry processors from the lack of, and the increasing cost of labor. It also helps to drive up margins for market segments such as whole birds and strengthens operations and profits and makes them more competitive within the industry as a whole.

This edition of Food and Beverage Technology Review features companies such as DSI Freezing Solutions, AG Lighting Innovations, CEM, Howe, Pick Heaters, Inc and many others that are at the forefront of offering agile solutions for the poultry and meat production and processing sectors. These companies provide robust products coupled with innovative strategies that are distinctively prominent in the field.
