This webinar is hosted by the British Section of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT)

The food manufacturing landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by advances in automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence. As the industry transitions from smart factories to “dark factories”, fully automated facilities that can operate with minimal or no human intervention, questions arise about efficiency, sustainability, workforce impact, and food safety.
