Artificial Intelligence Within Food Processing Industry with the Scope of Enhancing Workplace Safety: A Literature Review

The pursuit of efficiency and productivity in the food processing industry often requires advanced machinery, complex procedures, and various potential hazards, highlighting the critical importance of workplace safety. Accidents and injuries not only can compromise the quality of products and the well-being of consumers, but it may also jeopardize the safety of workers. Within this framework, the utilization of artificial intelligence emerges as a promising solution to mitigate workplace hazards and create a safer environment for human operators. This research paper aims at providing a literature review in the present topic: how Artificial Intelligence can reduce workplace hazards in the food processing industry. Initially, the methodology employed for this literature review is outlined. Subsequently, an exhaustive examination is presented to generate bibliometric maps and tables that succinctly outline the principal scientific patterns within this subject matter, utilizing the assistance of the VosViewer software, which is also introduced.
