Anuga FoodTec | March 19–22, 2024
From February 7 to 9, Borin® will take part in the 10th edition of Anuga FoodTec in Cologne, Germany, organised by Koelnmesse.
The international trade fair for suppliers to the food and beverage industry has been showcasing the latest developments in production processes since 1996.
Over the years, it has continued to evolve, growing to host 1,600 exhibitors and an average of 50,000 visitors from 154 countries across an exhibition area of more than 120,000 sqm.
Exhibitors present the full range of products for the production, filling, packaging and storage of food and beverages — from the simplest technologies to the largest machines and systems — all organised into eight main areas.
FOOD PROCESSING
Whether it is filling, labelling or packaging, exhibitors at Anuga FoodTec showcase tailored solutions for every stage of food, beverage and liquid food processing. Their common goal is to improve efficiency, enhance operational ease and increase product food safety.
Exhibitors present automated systems and machinery, process control systems and customised implementation technologies for a wide range of applications.
FOOD PACKAGING
At Anuga FoodTec, the food and beverage industry meets the right partners to optimise bottling and packaging processes, reduce resource consumption and ensure food safety. Digital transformation offers significant opportunities, particularly in food packaging: supply chain management, process optimisation, error reduction and maximum product safety with high precision. Sustainability and resource conservation are also key focus areas.
DIGITALISATION
Digitalisation connects all automated processes through innovative technologies capable of monitoring and integrating all solutions. Processes and workflows can communicate efficiently, ensuring consistent product quality, greater sustainability and more flexible operations.
At Anuga FoodTec, exhibitors present a wide range of applications, from ERP systems for process control to virtual reality, IT security for protecting entire production facilities, and artificial intelligence and big data for processing and analysing large volumes of information.
AUTOMATION
The transition from manual to automated processes represents a major challenge in food and beverage production. In the agri-food sector, it plays a crucial role, as productivity and yield can be significantly improved through smart and well-designed automation.
At Anuga FoodTec, food and beverage manufacturers can discover new approaches to automating production and downstream processes.
INTRALOGISTICS
Increasing warehouse turnover rates, smaller order volumes, high delivery speeds and short-term fluctuations in demand require flexible and scalable solutions to optimise material flows.
Driverless transport systems, automated storage solutions with fully integrated warehouse management, and efficient conveying and sorting systems are all part of the exhibition offering. Smart IT solutions help reduce time and costs while ensuring safe production and logistics.
Exhibitors at Anuga FoodTec present key technologies and solutions for intralogistics processes.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
A look into the future of how the food and beverage industry will evolve over the next decade.
Anuga FoodTec showcases groundbreaking innovations set to reshape the market. Pioneers from research institutes, start-ups, spin-offs and innovative companies come together to present their latest developments, all conveniently gathered in one place. With companies typically no older than ten years, the focus remains on fresh ideas and dynamic approaches.
Exhibitors cover the entire Anuga FoodTec portfolio, from food processing and innovative packaging solutions to safety, analysis, digitalisation and intralogistics. Visitors can explore a wide range of solutions and technologies shaping the future of the food industry.
SAFETY AND ANALYSIS
Food safety is one of the most critical topics in the food industry. With global raw material flows, constantly evolving standards and continuous product development, ensuring food safety has become a central challenge. From chemical and physical processes to microbiological testing, food analysis plays a decisive role.
Suppliers of food safety solutions and laboratory/analytical technologies present new, customised processes, technologies and equipment at Anuga FoodTec.
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT
A key area within food and beverage production processes. Energy, fresh water, waste and reprocessing are essential factors in every production system, enabling effective cost control. At the same time, these topics are increasingly relevant to the public, which expects clear environmental commitments from food and beverage producers.
Knowledge of available technologies is fundamental for implementing energy efficiency and environmental protection measures within companies. Anuga FoodTec provides this knowledge in a comprehensive, sector-specific and needs-oriented way.
