USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FOOD AND PROCESSING INDUSTRY

Abstract

An important condition for the development of the food industry is the use of digital technologies in calculations to reduce the time and cost of production. The relevance of the topic is due to the importance of studying the prerequisites for ensuring the digital development of food industry enterprises for the food security of the state. An analysis of advanced foreign experience in the digital development of the food industry was carried out. The directions of digital development of the food industry based on the use of robotization technologies for sorting raw materials, digital twins, computer vision, artificial intelligence, analysis of a large volume of data, visual systems for machine assessment of the quality of finished products and others are noted. The introduction and development of automated programs in technological processes and modeling of recipe compositions has become very relevant in recent years. This is due to the complexity of the calculation due to the large number of main and auxiliary raw materials used, which increases the volume of calculations and production costs. To solve such problems, it is necessary to use modern computer technologies and digitalize processes. The analysis of literature data has shown that the modeling of food products using digital technologies is carried out in the chosen direction: vitamin and mineral composition and energy value. Particular attention is paid to the design of food products and the creation of optimal formulations from plant raw materials that meet the specified requirements of target groups of consumers. The most popular software products for the processing industry in Russia are of a specialized nature, which allow automating and combining the development of technological and production documentation at each stage of the process into a single system for managing the quality and safety of food products from the input quality of raw materials to the sale of finished products. The use of digital technologies in the calculation of food formulations will allow solving the problems of multi-corrective optimization. It is concluded that it is necessary to form a digital format for the development of the food industry in ensuring the quality and safety of food products.
