Information technology, communication technology, the Internet-of-Things, Big Data, Robotics: Future

Information technology, communication technology, the Internet-of-Things, Big Data, Robotics: each and every one of these new technologies now has an impact on the world of fresh fruits and vegetabes, and in turn the fresh produce supply chain from farm to fork can now call on specializaed solutions that allow it to cope with their far-reaching. To understand better the future shape of these new technologies, ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA is organizing with Frug I Com, SMART Horticulture Asia, a new, high-level, Asia-wide business forum that focuses on information management, standards, and technology. The two organisations signed a cooperation agreement in February 2016 at FRUIT LOGISTICA in Berlin that extends to Asia the benefits of Frug I Com’s existing initiative on digitalisation and standardisation in the fresh fruit and vegetables. The one-day conference will take place on Thursday 8 September 2016 during ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA, Asia’s leading trade show for the fresh fruit and vegetable business which takes place on 7-9 September 2016 at Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld-Expo. SMART Horticulture Asia is the only dedicated forum in Asia to provide insights into the latest trends and applications of information exchange, information technology, information standards, digitalization, and other emerging technologies in the fresh produce supply chain farm to fork.
