Integrated Food Projects’ (IFP) own Head of Process, Ed Keenan, will be taking his predictions for the future of food factories to the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition 2019, in Milton Keynes on June 25.
The exclusive talk promises to be engaging and eye opening and will look at what the future holds for food production, as near as 2025 to as far away as 2120!
With the speed and development of technology moving at such a pace, and with the introductions of robotics and AI fast becoming the norm around the world, the factory of the future, even 50 years from now, will have evolved beyond recognition.
Ed has a great interest in emerging technologies, and as Head of Process at IFP it is part of his role to have a grip on the technological development of food process design. He believes it is important to explore what ‘could be’ in 100 years – far beyond our own lifespan – as to better prepare for what is on the horizon.
Speaking ahead of the event, Ed said:
“I am really looking forward to taking my own predictions to the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Conference and Exhibition. Everyone has their own predictions for what they think the future will look like, so it is brilliant to be given this stage to air mine. I’m looking forward to hearing the responses from my thoughts and also finding out what others in the industry think is likely to happen as well.
“I believe there will be some truly ground-breaking advances, especially as General Artificial Intelligence (GAI) is achieved and starts to integrate into these facilities.”
The event will take place at the Arena MK in Milton Keynes on Tuesday 25 June and Ed’s talk will be on the Future Factory Live stage at 2:15pm and you can register to attend here.
