CYBER-PHYSICAL COMRONENTS OF FOOD META-ENGINEERING

Abstract

In the modern world, the problem of providing the population with high-quality food products is becoming increasingly important. This is due to a number of factors, such as the growth of the Earth’s population, globalization, which introduces significant changes in the usual models and structure of nutrition, insufficient efficiency of traditional technologies for processing agricultural products, etc. An important element in solving the problem is the use of cyber-physical systems (CPS), which are the integration of computing, physical and network components into private processes and system technologies. In the food industry, CPS are used in the management of production lines, product quality control, logistics, predictive models of demand, and contribute to the personalization of nutrition. In the future, the development of CPS and artificial intelligence technologies can lead to the creation of fully autonomous food production, where robot-assisted technologies will manage all processes - from growing raw materials to delivering finished products.
