Organisers of Germany’s triennial meat processing machinery trade show IFFA have long claimed it is the “number one for the meat industry” and, on reflection, it’s hard to argue with this.
Meat packaging company Nomax Trading has used virtual reality (VR) headsets to offer clients at IFFA a tour of its production facilities, which has helped boost new business.
Germany’s triennial meat processing trade show IFFA is expecting to open its doors to a record 1,027 exhibitors, setting a new record of attending companies for the long-running event.
‘Humanoids’ replacing human beings on meat processing lines could be possible within three years, and the director of Japanese automated de-boning robotics company Mayekawa is set on it becoming reality.
The sense of optimism is palpable at this year's IFFA show as the meat world gathers in Frankfurt, Germany, following one of the toughest economic periods in living memory.
