November 29, 2021 - 11:30 - 12:30

Objectives:This session aims to shed light on how data wields a highly differentiating power to significantly improve economic activities. During this session, the benefits of data in two important economic activities, namely industry and agriculture, will be explored, more specifically about the working conditions and the certification of agri-food products, respectively. Thus, on one hand, this session will explain how to approach the Industry 4.0 workplace holistically, but from the workers’ point of view, gathering and crossing quantitative and qualitative data, building a richer picture of the workers’ well-being, and enabling better predictive models. While, on the other hand, this session will delve on how farmers, producers and sellers in the food and beverage sector can tackle certification challenges when supplying high quality products to the market, without compromising the viability of their businesses.Session Description:
