Following on from this, Callum Whyborne, lead application engineer for Unibloc Hygienic Technologies, will lead an insightful exploration into the transformative role of predictive maintenance in pumping systems.

Next, we’ll be joined by Terry McGrath, chief scientific officer for Bia Analytical, who has been developing methods for food safety and security for 25 years.
His presentation will highlight opportunities for food fraudsters and the latest tech to fight them off.
Finally, to round off the presentations, Alison Johnson, managing director of Food Forensics, will explore the future of food safety and integrity.
Her session will examine the risks that are genuinely emerging and those that are evolving old challenges. This will include a whistle-stop tour of critical areas covering chemical residues, nutritional issues, contaminants, climate change, political instability and even the potential risks of food terrorism.
