The interplay between digital technologies and waste in cold chains

Presentation exploring the impact of digitalization on the development of sustainable cold chains, with a focus on waste efficiency.

Objectives:
- To gain an overview and understanding of the factors related to Industry 4.0 and its enabling technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), Cloud Computing Technologies (CCT), Big Data Analytics (BDA), and others in the context of cold chains
- Identify the primary waste sources in cold chains and investigate the potential applications of innovative (smart) digital solutions for cold chain waste management.
- To propose an operational framework to demonstrate the interplay between industry digital solutions and cold chain operations and its potential impact on waste management
