The meat industry faces crucial challenges, such as the guarantee of quality and food safety, compliance with health regulations and the growing demand for transparency by customers and consumers. Traceability is a key element to address these challenges, since it allows the tracing of each meat product from its origin, ensuring its integrity and facilitating the identification and resolution of possible problems, in addition to giving added value to the processing tasks, allowing them to be optimized and obtaining a higher quality product.

In this presentation we will give examples of real applications of how we are mapping out the product, especially in the case of ham, to ensure a higher quality final product and how we relate this data to the ERP or customer database.

The meat and alternative protein sector plays a vital role in the food industry and, like many other industries, is subject to constant changes and evolutions due to economic, social, technological and environmental factors. Faced with this uncertainty in which the sector is immersed, the solution does not lie in predicting scenarios, but in learning to adapt quickly to unexpected events, where innovation is a key factor.

For this day, six presentations have been scheduled focused on the thematic axes of food safety and digitalization that help to face these challenges and needs by offering solutions.
