After mechanization (first revolution), electrification (second revolution) and digitization (third revolution), the time has come to integrate systems and create networks. The issues of the so-called the fourth industrial revolution – Industry 4.0 is a very topical topic. According to this approach to the industry, it is the realization of an intelligent factory in which cyber-physical systems control physical processes, create digital copies of the real world and make decentralized decisions, and through the Internet of things in real time communicate and cooperate with each other and with people, Industry 4.0 integrates people and digitally controlled machines with the Internet and information technologies. What is the impact on the food industry? Will food security benefit from this revolution? These and other questions can be answered in articles published within the framework of the monograph, which is the result of an exchange of knowledge and experience between the participants of the International Conference on Production Management and Packaging - ICPM-PP 2018 under the title Food Safety and Industry 4.0.
