“…IoT-enabled wearable devices allow real-time monitoring and tracking, employee safety, productivity, and food safety [41]. For instance, the use of hyperspectral imaging systems in combination with IoT could help to monitor the components/ingredients of food, thus improving food safety [42]. Some researchers used IoT technology to reduce food waste in food processing factories [43,44].…”

“…For their part, the company Nima Lab created a portable sensor that allows the amount of gluten in a food to be simply quantified. Concretely, this portable sensor was developed by adapting antibody-based chemistry employed for allergen detection and consists of a scanner, a capsule where the foodstuff is introduced and an application where the results are displayed and collected [42]. Another important reason for issues related to food safety is the incomplete, opaque, and asymmetric information that reaches the consumer about certain food products.…”

Meat 4.0 refers to the application the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) technologies in the meat sector. Industry 4.0 components, such as robotics, Internet of Things, Big Data, augmented reality, cybersecurity, and blockchain, have recently transformed many industrial and manufacturing sectors, including agri-food sectors, such as the meat industry. The need for digitalised and automated solutions throughout the whole food supply chain has increased remarkably during the COVID-19 pandemic. This review will introduce the concept of Meat 4.0, highlight its main enablers, and provide an updated overview of recent developments and applications of Industry 4.0 innovations and advanced techniques in digital transformation and process automation of the meat industry. A particular focus will be put on the role of Meat 4.0 enablers in meat processing, preservation and analyses of quality, safety and authenticity. Our literature review shows that Industry 4.0 has significant potential to improve the way meat is processed, preserved, and analysed, reduce food waste and loss, develop safe meat products of high quality, and prevent meat fraud. Despite the current challenges, growing literature shows that the meat sector can be highly automated using smart technologies, such as robots and smart sensors based on spectroscopy and imaging technology.
