Digitalising pork value chain
This video presents how BBTWINS has been optimising the availability, quality, resource efficiency, and economic performance of PORTESA’s feedstock production, improving batch traceability both internally and for end consumers, the logistics of their internal production chain, the valorisation of waste streams, and the modelling of physical and chemical food processes affecting quality and efficiency.
Digital twin transitions in agri-food
This webinar presents concrete examples of the benefits of implementing a digital twin tool to enhance decision-making in agri-food value chains and presents the role of blockchain technology in ensuring traceability and transparency in these systems. Listen to experts share their insights on advanced AI-supported models, blockchain, and complex data management systems and their application within the agri-food sector.
Rethinking agri-food logistics
Ruben Guisson and Annelies De Meyer from VITO discuss logistics models for the BBTWINS project, comparing different transportation methods and their impact on productivity, congestion, and emissions, as well as describe the broader applicability of these methodologies in other sectors.
Innovative waste valorisation in agri-food
Andre Ribeiro, Senior Researcher at CVR, explains the innovative waste valorisation process his research brings to the two case studies of BBTWINS; the pork and peach industries, and the possibilities this could bring to the European agri-food sector.
Benefits of waste valorisation for the agri-food sector
Andre Ribeiro introduces the concept of waste valorisation. The Senior Researcher at CVR in Portugal explains the core of his work and how the waste valorisation of bio-based side streams can reduce pressure on resources and help build a future for the zero waste generation.
Creating resource-efficient value chains
Member of the Advisory Board Dr. Luis Pinto Ferreira introduces himself and shares his outlook on sustainable innovations in the bio-based economy. Specialising in digital twin technology, the prize-winning Portuguese professor brings valuable insight to the project, overseeing the development of the BBTWINS digital twin.
Cutting-edge agri-food technologies in practice
From improving the digital twin and researching the valorisation of waste streams to developing AI vision applications and using blockchain to create a traceability platform, a lot of progress towards the digitalisation of agri-food value chains was made in the second year of the BBTWINS project.
Digitalisation creating new opportunities in agriculture
Christina Blachava is an Agronomist at Dimitra, an agricultural cooperative in Greece. She explains how BBTWINS can help improve supply chains, making transportation and production more efficient, and making agri-food businesses more environmentally and economically sustainable.
