The second edition of iba.Connecting Experts gears up to stream the virtual event from October 25 to 28, structured around four focus points: ‘connect’, ‘discover’, ‘learn’ and ‘entertain’. Virtual attendees will have a comprehensive choice of current topics to delve into, including strategies from industry leaders on how to reduce losses using AI. This lecture will bring together senior manufacturing executives from Nestle, Bimbo, Mondelez, Pepsico and Aryzta to share their experiences, insights and advice on how to use Industrial Artificial Intelligence to master manufacturing processes and reduce production losses in quality, waste and yield.

Batch and continuous dough production is also among the topics in the event’s ‘Learn’ feature, including a lecture on pre-mixing from Dr. Christian Faber, Senior Technology Consulting, Zeppelin. Hygiene is a discussion topic as well, with a presentation evaluating effective disinfection on hygiene standards given by António Jorge, Marketing Manager at KOMA. He will discuss alternative methods and equipment to measure the output of a washing procedure with respect to hygiene and disinfection.

Susann Seidemann, iba director, said in a recent update: “We bring supply and demand together even more efficiently and individually. The new features are product demonstrations, the search for key topics and interest-based recommendations. In the future, visitors will be able to specify their interests when registering and thus receive precisely tailored recommendations for presentations, products or exhibitors – an added value for all sides.”
