The future of factory cleaning: responsible cleaning data collection and use framework

Abstract

This report introduces the future technologies that are expected to fundamentally reshape the work of cleaning food and drink factories, focusing on the possibilities for data collection and use that these technologies enable. Data serves as the core commodity that will help deliver the changes across the industry, allowing for greater fidelity and traceability across the supply chain. However, data, especially of a commercially sensitive or even personal nature, must be handled responsibly to avoid misuse or misinterpretation, which would undermine any of the benefits gleaned from enhancing data collection in the first place.
