Food Industry Webinars & Online Events


  • From Decision to Implementation in Supplier Management Systems

    Register here Implementing a new supplier management system is rarely straightforward. Between legacy processes, cross-functional stakeholders, and suppliers hesitant to change, even the right technology can struggle to gain traction, especially when manual document review slows everything down. In this webinar, Alex Sullivan, a quality systems leader who led TraceGains implementations at leading F&B brands […]

  • AI for Formulated Goods: Unlocking Speed, Compliance, and Profitability

    Register here Nearly 95% of corporate AI initiatives deliver no measurable return, according to a sobering report from MIT’s Media Lab . The difference isn’t the ambition—it’s the approach. Without trusted, connected data, AI can’t perform. That challenge is even sharper in food, beverage, cosmetics and other formulated products, where teams must navigate strict regulations, volatile costs and fast-rising expectations […]

  • [Centric Lunch Lessons] From Concept to Consumer | Why Closing the PLM-Commercialization Loop Determines Market Success

    Register here Food and beverage brands are managing growing product complexity while consumer decisions happen faster than ever. PLM has become essential for governing product data and product intent, but many organizations struggle to maintain that intent as products move into commercialization. Join Centric Software’s PLM and PXM experts to explore how closing the loop between […]

  • Firefighting vs. Foresight: AI and the Industry 5.0 Shift in Food & Beverage

    Register here Featuring Frost & Sullivan Reacting to short-term disruption is no longer sustainable in the food and beverage industry. Demand volatility, fragile supply chains, labor shortages, and margin pressure have made delayed decision-making increasingly risky. Industry 5.0 represents a critical shift in how food and beverage companies operate. Instead of relying on disconnected systems and delayed insight, […]

  • Deacom’s Practical AI: Purpose Built for Batch and Process Manufacturers

    Register here Deacom's Practical AI is different. Built specifically for Food & Beverage, Chemical, Nutraceutical, Cosmetic, Pharmaceutical, and Life Science manufacturers, Deacom’s embedded AI is designed for the way batch manufacturers work. In this live session, ECI Deacom experts will demonstrate how Practical AI is helping manufacturers move beyond spreadsheets and legacy systems. In this […]

  • AI-Powered S&OP in the Dairy Industry

    Register here Volatility in milk supply, shifting demand patterns, and razor-thin margins are making traditional planning tools obsolete — and dairy S&OP is harder than almost any other category. Perishability, seasonal intake swings, and yield complexity create planning challenges that generic tools simply weren't built for, and those pressures are only intensifying. This session explores […]

  • From Benchtop to In-Line for Compositional Analysis of Milk

    Register here Benchtop analyzers for compositional analysis of dairy samples are traditionally based on FT-IR spectrometers. Benchtop FT-IR analyzers have repeatability and accuracy necessary to serve as the reference measurement for samples used to calibrate in-line analyzers. Direct transfer of calibrations from the benchtop FT-IR analyzers is not possible as most in-line analyzers are based […]

  • Integrating Heating and Cooling in Food Production

    Register here As utility costs continue to rise and companies are pressured to reduce energy use, waste heat is an increasingly valuable — and often untapped — resource. Recovering and reusing waste heat establishes on-site energy circularity that increases overall facility efficiency, significantly lowers operational costs and supports decarbonization/sustainability efforts. Industrial heat pumps make it […]

  • Dust, Damage, and Downtime: Designing Bulk Solids Systems That Protect Product and People

    Register here Bulk solids systems can introduce more than just flow challenges. Inadequate design inputs and poor equipment selection often lead to dust exposure, product degradation, segregation, reliability issues, and increased safety risk—impacting both plant performance and product quality. This session provides a practical framework for evaluating system design through the lens of material properties, […]

  • Formula to facts: How structured data makes AI reliable in formulated goods

    Register here AI can accelerate product development and commercialisation—when it’s grounded in structured, standardised product data. Learn how GS1 global data standards and 2D barcodes establish AI-ready information flows, and how Centric’s AI-driven PLM helps formulated goods organisations move faster, stay compliant, and improve profitability. What you’ll take away A leadership perspective on AI readiness: […]

  • How Agentic AI Is Changing What’s Possible in Dairy Operations

    Register here Dairy operations have always generated enormous amounts of data. The question has never been whether to collect it; it's been whether anyone has time to act on it before the moment passes. This session explores what changes when AI moves from reporting on the past to actively participating in what happens next. What […]
