I mere end 50 år har stregkoden været en grundlæggende del af dagligvarehandlen. Nu står branchen foran næste udviklingstrin: 2D-stregkoden, som kan langt mere end blot at identificere varen ved kassen. Med 2D kan én stregkode både understøtte den daglige drift og åbne for helt nye anvendelser. Den kan eksempelvis indeholde information om batch og holdbarhed, som kan bidrage til bedre sporbarhed, mere præcise tilbagekaldelser og reduktion af madspild. Samtidig kan den være en nøgle til digitale produktinformationer og dermed understøtte arbejdet med blandt andet lovpligtige oplysninger. For forbrugeren bygger udviklingen videre på noget velkendt. I dag bruges den klassiske QR-kode allerede til at skabe adgang til eksempelvis produktinformation, inspiration og services. Fremover kan den samme 2D-stregkode både fungere i butikkens processer og give forbrugeren adgang til relevant digital information via mobilen. På FoodTech deler Charlotte Vig Kiær fra REMA 1000 og Morten Buch fra GS1 Denmark perspektiver på, hvad udviklingen kan betyde i praksis – fra kasse og vareflow til compliance og forbrugerinteraktion.

Food Life Science

What if you could look beyond the microorganisms, you are able to grow? Modern DNA-based microbiology can provide a much broader picture of the microbial communities present in food, raw materials, production environments (e.g. salt baths from diaries and hygiene samples) – including microorganisms that traditional methods may miss. But what does this actually mean in practice? In this talk, we will focus on the practical applications of microbiome profiling in the food industry. How can microbial profiling help identify sources of contamination? Investigate spoilage? Compare raw materials or suppliers? Monitor changes in production environments? Understand microbial communities in process water or salt baths? And perhaps most importantly: how can these insights support faster and better decisions? Using real-world examples, we will demonstrate how OMNI Track can turn complex microbial data into actionable knowledge – helping food producers understand not just which microorganisms are present, but how microbial communities change and what that may mean for food quality, safety and production. The tool is not just about generating more data. It is about asking better questions – and getting answers that can be used.

Hvordan kan industrien styrke sin konkurrenceevne, reducere CO₂-aftrykket og samtidig skabe større robusthed over for volatile energimarkeder? På FoodTech deler vi erfaringer fra Dansk Salts produktion i Mariager, hvor energiforsyningen ikke er bundet til én energikilde, men optimeres dynamisk i samspil med produktionen. Ved at kombinere naturgas, træflis, elkedel og energieffektive procesanlæg som MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression) kan vi løbende tilpasse energimixet til markedspriser, forsyningssituation og produktionsbehov. Denne fleksibilitet gør det muligt at reducere energiomkostninger, forbedre forsyningssikkerheden og samtidig understøtte den grønne omstilling. Oplægger giver konkrete eksempler på, hvordan energi og produktion kan planlægges som ét integreret system, hvor elektrificering, dampproduktion, energimarkeder og fleksibelt forbrug arbejder sammen. Kom og hør, hvordan fremtidens fødevareproduktion kan blive både mere konkurrencedygtig, mere fleksibel og mere bæredygtig ved at gøre energi til en aktiv del af forretningen.

Industrial heat represents one of the largest and most overlooked energy challenges: around 50,000 TWh of fossil energy are still used globally to produce steam for industrial processes, corresponding to a market worth trillions of euros annually. Decarbonizing this segment is therefore essential to achieving climate targets. This need has become even more urgent in a context of increasing uncertainty around natural gas supply and price volatility, which exposes energy-intensive industries to significant risks. Electrification of heat, combined with renewable energy, offers a viable pathway—but requires flexible and scalable solutions to ensure reliability and cost competitiveness. Magaldi’s thermal energy storage (MGTES) addresses this challenge by converting low-cost renewable electricity into high-temperature heat and storing it efficiently in sand. This enables on-demand steam production, reduces dependence on fossil fuels, and provides grid flexibility. With high efficiency, competitive costs compared to alternatives, and no reliance on critical raw materials, MGTES offers a robust, sustainable, and economically attractive solution for industrial decarbonization.

Humidity needs to be controlled in many food production environments. However, the demand for dehumidification is not constant. Temperature, production activities, cleaning and other changes in the production rooms affect the indoor humidity level throughout the day. Airwatergreen has developed a new approach to industrial dehumidification that combines energy-efficient dehumidification technology with demand-driven operation. Different operating modes allow the system to reduce energy when demand is lower, manage the impact of humidity peaks after cleaning and takes electricity prices into account. This creates opportunities to reduce energy costs without losing control of the indoor climate. During the presentation, Airwatergreen will show how this approach is applied in food production environments and share results from installations where humidity and dew point has to be controlled under demanding conditions. The presentation will show how new patented dehumidification technology can respond to what is happening in the production environment and only use energy according to actual needs.

Freshwater is a limited resource, and pressure on water supplies is growing across Europe. Even in Denmark, more water is already being abstracted on Zealand than is sustainable. Through the International Dairy Federation, we are surveying water use across the global dairy sector and working on guidance for safe water reuse for all dairies in the world and trying to inspire smart and safe ways to use and reuse water. At the same time, the Danish Dairy Board's guidance on water use and reuse is being updated. We are looking at the risks linked to different water sources, where reused water can be applied, which treatments are needed, and how safety should be monitored and verified. The presentation will give examples of considerations when using and reusing water in food operations (from a dairy perspective) without compromising food safety or compliance with Danish and EU legislation.

In food, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, load cells are critical for measuring liquids across tanks and vessels. To meet FDA and GMP requirements, these systems must be calibrated annually — and the standard method? Filling tanks with purified water, since 1 L ≈ 1 kg. For large process plants, that adds up to over a million litres of purified water consumed every year. Add days of costly downtime just to fill and drain tanks, and you have a process that's expensive, disruptive — and far from sustainable. There had to be a better way. In this case study, discover how EilerCal's solution eliminates the need for water-based calibration entirely — saving process plants millions of litres of water annually and hundreds of hours of unnecessary downtime, while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

Oplysning forud lovkrav såfremt genbrug skal blive en succes EU’s nye emballageregler (PPWR) skal fremme genbrug af takeaway-emballage, men kendskabet til de kommende krav er er nærmest ”ukendte” blandt både virksomheder, hos forbrugerne og i resten af samfundet. Det risikerer at spænde ben for den grønne omstilling. Den 12. februar 2027 får forbrugerne en rettighed når de kan bede om at få påfyldt egne emballager når de køber takeaway. Året efter skal de tilbydes en genbrugsløsning evt. med pant. Med afsæt i DRC’s analyse af restaurationsbranchens bekymringer sætter oplægget fokus på de praktiske udfordringer, som genbrug kan medføre for takeaway-virksomhederne. Genbrug kræver mere end lovgivning og gode intentioner. Det kræver, at virksomheder og forbrugere ved, hvad der skal ske, og hvordan de nye løsninger skal fungere i praksis. Oplægget sætter fokus på behovet for en national, målrettet informationsindsats, der skaber forståelse, opbakning og grundlag for velfungerende genbrugsløsninger, før de nye krav træder i kraft.
