The Internet of Food Things (IoFT) Network Plus will bring together data and computer scientists, chemists and economists to investigate how artificial intelligence, data analytics and emerging technologies can enhance the digitalisation of the UK food supply chain.
The network, led by the University of Lincoln in partnership with the Universities of Southampton, Surrey, East Anglia and the Open University, will examine the application of the IoT in connected homes of the future – for example smart refrigerators that trigger a grocery order when food items run low, or cooking devices which could help us live healthier lives.
It will also examine the traceability of food, and how machine learning and artificial intelligence could be utilised to extract value from the vast amounts of data available across the whole food supply chain, improving efficiency and reducing food waste.
Businesses and researchers nationally will be able to participate in workshops, run annual conferences to share best practice across the sector, and bid for funding for pilot studies, projects, and reviews. Collectively these initiatives, which will run until May 2021, will contribute to progressing the digitisation of food manufacturing in the UK
