Seminar on computerization in food industries.pptxAdarsh N D
Computerization in the food industries has increased significantly over time as the costs of computer components have decreased and their ability to withstand food processing environments has improved. Computerized control systems help food companies produce high quality products efficiently while reducing costs and production time. Specialized industrial computers and monitors are particularly useful in food processing as they can streamline operations, improve traceability and product quality, and reduce risks of contamination. Computerization has been adopted in various food sectors like fish processing, meat and poultry, dairy, fruits and vegetables, bakery, and beverages. Advanced technologies like hyperspectral imaging, mass spectrometry, and machine learning are further enhancing automation and quality control in food production.
Food safety refers to proper food handling procedures to avoid foodborne illness. Emerging food safety technologies include non-thermal processes like pulsed electric fields, cold plasma, and high pressure processing that can kill pathogens without altering food quality. Technologies like blockchain, RFID, and artificial intelligence are improving traceability, transparency, and predictive modeling in the food supply chain. Companies are adopting these innovative technologies to enhance food safety, quality control, and compliance.
A RFID web-based infotracing system for the artisanal Italian cheese quality ...Marco Garoffolo
The aim of this study is the integration of an electronic tracing system with a non-destructive quality analysis system for single product of a typical Italian cheese, prepared with buffalo milk and called “Caciottina massaggiata di Amaseno”, a typical diary product of Lazio Region. The tracing and quality information are combined on a web platform to obtain a complete procedure to develop what we define as an “infotracing system”. Quality analyses (chemical, sensorial and spectrophotometric) were carried out on a total of 23 cheese wheels (8 with TAGs) and for three cheese maturation classes (3, 6 or 9 months after production). Two typologies of RFID tags were tested. Results were screened by Partial Least Squares regressions (PLS) on reflectance values for the prediction of chemical content, while classifica- tion of cheese maturation classes (3, 6 or 9 months) was carried out by Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA) on reflectance values. The RFID system turned out as effective, reliable and compatible with the production process tool. A good estimation of maturation degree by spectral and chemical analysis was obtained. Moreover an infotracing web-based system was designed to acquire and link basic information that can be made available to the final consumer or to different food chain actors before or after purchasing, using the RFID code to identify the single and specific cheese product. The projected web-based tracing system could improve the products commerce by increasing the information trans- parency for the consumer.

Sensors in milking parlours can monitor cow health and productivity by replacing or complementing human senses. The document discusses various sensor technologies that have been introduced for monitoring udder health, milk composition, fertility, cow composition, and metabolic disorders. While sensors have benefits like improving health, welfare, and productivity, their adoption has been limited. Sensors may not always accurately monitor parameters of interest and there are tradeoffs between sensitivity and specificity. Additionally, sensor information is often not fully utilized on farms due to limitations in performance, lack of understanding, and insufficient learning support. In conclusion, sensors have potential but must be combined with management decisions to effectively monitor cow health and productivity.

Traceability and trackability and recalls.pptxAnjaliJaiswal77
Traceability and trackability are important tools for food safety. Traceability allows identification of the location and process of food production, while trackability keeps a record of the whole process. Traceability has several benefits, including controlling food hazards, providing reliable product information, and guaranteeing authenticity. It can be classified by activity (external traces items between distribution channels and internal traces raw materials to finished goods) and direction (forward traces location and backward traces origin). Efficient product recalls require an ability to trace which products are unsafe and communicate this information. Identification, status monitoring, and unique tracing are important aspects of traceability systems. Certification and traceability are important for market access and competitiveness.

This document discusses whether technology pays for itself in dairy farming. It provides an overview of the history of sensor use on dairy farms since the 1970s and their increasing adoption. Success factors for precision technology include system specifications that provide useful information, cost efficiency where benefits outweigh costs, and non-economic factors like risk tolerance. Studies show sensor systems for mastitis and estrus detection can increase productivity and profitability on farms, though their benefits are not always fully realized in practice due to limited use of sensor information and farmer attitudes. In conclusion, sensors have the potential to improve farms economically and enhance dairy cattle welfare but not all systems may be cost-effective.
Grains are a group of foods that includes maize, oats, barley, wheat, rye, sorghum and others. As widely reported, grain products are divided into two categories: refined and whole grain. The earlier is achieved by food manufacturers through milling, whereby the germ, bran and the endosperm are removed. The latter is just the whole grain itself. Grain milling is the milling of flour and rice; the malting of grain (primarily barley); and the mixing of prepared flour mixes and dough. Maize, rice and wheat constituted 87 percent of all grain production worldwide and 43 percent of food calories in 2003.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
