Abstract

Background

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) have revolutionised the industry, resulting in a transformation in the industry by integrating complex technologies within the conventional production and supply chain processes. This change implies a paradigm shift that offers revolutionary opportunities to the sectors. It is essential to the industry's shift from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0.

Scope and approach

This paper provides an extensive analysis of how the IIoT is expanding its reach in the food processing industry by examining the four main segments of the market: the fruit and vegetable sector, the dairy sector, the meat and poultry industry, the seafood sector and the food and beverage industry.

Key findings and conclusions

Supply chain, smart manufacturing, quality, energy, cold chain, traceability, and regulatory compliance are all improved by modern digital technology. The use of IIoT leads to safer, more sustainable, and more efficient food processing. With the transition of the industry from 4. 0 to Industry 5.0 the integration of IIoT provides an improvement in areas of automation, real-time monitoring, and data analytics, which are essential for optimising the processes and enhancing the quality and safety of food products. Particularly, the fruit and vegetable sector, the dairy sector, the meat and poultry industry, the seafood sector, and the food and beverage industry were benefiting from IIoT technology. But IIoT adoption is still hampered by issues with data security and privacy, legacy system integration, and high upfront costs with an unclear return on investment. Investment, careful planning, and robust cybersecurity are necessary to overcome these obstacles and fully realise the potential of IIoT. To get past these obstacles and realise the full potential of IIoT, investment, careful planning, and robust cyber security are required. Despite these obstacles, IIoT has the potential to revolutionise the food processing industry by offering fresh perspectives and inventions that increase consumer trust, sustainability, and efficiency.
