- Technological Developments
- CAD
- This is where computers are used to help design a product
- Computer Aided Design
- This can be used to produce models of the product and its packaging in 2D and 3D
- So you can see it from any angle
- Uses of CAD
- Product profiles
- Nutritional modelling of products to meet design ideas
- Production of safety and hazard charts
- Mathematical calculations for scaling up
- Production modelling of products to meet aesthetic and sensory criteria
- CAM
- Computer Aided Manufacturer
- This is used in the manufacturing processes
- It is to control and monitor processes during mass production
- The computer has 3 main jobs
- To program the machinery to carry out specific tasks such as weighing ingredients to exact amounts
- To prevent food spoilage hazards occurring during the production run
- To monitor the quality of the food product at various stages
- Advantages of using computers during production
- Quick and easy to change the nutritional analysis
- Enables quality control checks to be carried out throughly and quickly
- Reduction is production time
- Less employee cost
- Safer for staff as machine does the task instead
- Improves quality of product
- Disadvantages of uses computers during production
- More pollution
- Increase unemployment
- Requires training to use
- CAD
