Globally, the food and drinks industry is worth over $5 trillion annually. That’s more than both the automotive and oil & gas industries. The processes and technologies involved are complex and interlinked – engineering modelling and simulation (M&S) is crucial in many of these processes. From equipment design to product manufacturing, packaging, and distribution, simulation can optimize every step of the process, saving time, money, and resources: M&S can transform the way you work and innovate.
So how do you take advantage of simulation to get tangible business benefits and develop new methods?
This exclusive NAFEMS seminar will give you an insight into just how widely-used simulation is becoming in the food and drink industry, and let you peak behind the scenes at how some major corporations and research institutes are transforming their processes and products using simulation.
An inspiring agenda features industry leaders, high-level academics, and end-users, who will be addressing industry challenges, implementation issues, and more in this ground-breaking industry-specific seminar.
As well as looking at the breadth of modelling applications in the industry, the seminar will address some specific challenges including feedstock variation, in-line material characterisation, and how such modelling leads to cost-effective process optimisation.
If you are part of, or deal with, the food and drink industry, do not miss out on this is cutting-edge technical seminar from NAFEMS.

Bournville is the birthplace of chocolate, the home of Cadbury, which has been providing treats for people since 1879.
Located just 20 miles (33 km) from Mondelez International, Birmingham Airport enjoys excellent connectivity with multiple airlines. Conveniently positioned near Junction 6 of the M42 motorway, it is primarily accessed via the A45 main road.
Additionally, the elevated AirRail Link seamlessly connects the airport to Birmingham International railway station on the West Coast Main Line. Bournville is just a 30-minute drive or a 1-hour train ride away from the airport. Furthermore, the Mondelez International offices are conveniently situated within a 5-minute walk from Bournville Train station
This seminar is brought you by the NAFEMS Food and Drink Industry Community
Thank you to our co-sponsors ...
The Food & Drink Special Interest Group of the Institution of Chemical Engineers provides a community for anyone with an interest in this complex and diverse industry sector, whatever their background. Their mission is to ‘Empower Food & Drink Engineering Professionals’ by promoting the profile of food engineering, supporting member’s professional development, advocating sustainable practises and developing networks to support the profession.
The IMechE Food and Drink Engineering Committee (FDEC) covers the entire food and drink supply chain from producer to consumer, with particular concern for the engineering related aspects, but also the economic, social, environmental and political contexts within which the sector functions.
And our sponsors ...
