A method for monitoring a food processing system

Abstract

A computer-implemented method (500) for monitoring a food processing system (100), arranged to produce a food product (102), using a data processing apparatus (112) is provided. The method comprises receiving (502) process traceability data (200) related to the food product (102), wherein the process traceability data (200) comprises information about which food processing units (104a-e) that were involved in processing the food product (102) as well as during which time slots the food processing units were involved for processing the food product (102), receiving (504) process event data (202) related to the food processing units of the food production system (100), wherein the process event data (202) comprises information about state changes of the food production units that occurred during processing of the food product (102) as well as points of time when the state changes occurred, receiving (506) settings (204) of the processing units (104a-e) associated with different states, determining (508) the settings used for the food production units (104a-e) during different time slots by combining the process event data (202) and the settings of the processing units (204) associated with the different states, and determining (510) the settings of the food production units (104a-e) used for processing the food product (102) by combining the process traceability data (200) and the settings used for the food production units during the different time slots, and providing (512) the settings of the food production units (104a-e) used for processing the food product (102).
