FORCE Technology gathers, develops and disseminates knowledge related to hygienic design and process technology used in food and pharmaceutical production.
Access hygienic design expertise and knowledge on process technology that support development of production equipment and processes.
Producers of food, biotech and pharmaceutical producs and equipment manufacturers continuously need sharpen their requirements for the functionality of production equipment. Efficient cleaning, hygienic service life, flexible production and sustainability influence how equipment and processes are designed. Maintaining a high level of food quality and food safety therefore requires that knowledge about hygienic design and process technology is continuously gathered, developed and shared.
Growing focus on process documentation
Producers of food, biotech and pharmaceutical producs also place increasing attention on documentation of production processes and food contact materials. Retail chains request more knowledge about manufacturing processes and product handling, increasing the need for stronger understanding of hygiene in production systems.
Knowledge development through industry collaboration
FORCE Technology contributes to the development and dissemination of hygienic design and performance knowledge through collaboration with industry, development activities and participation in international work informed by EHEDG, ISPE and ASME.

Challenges
When hygienic design expertise is limited, decisions about production equipment and hygiene compliance in manufacturing processes become more difficult.
Increasing requirements for hygienic production equipment
Producers of food, biotech and pharmaceutical producs and equipment manufacturers place higher requirements on equipment functionality, including efficient cleaning, hygienic durability and flexible production.
Growing need for process documentation
Producers of food, biotech and pharmaceutical producs are increasingly expected to document production processes and food contact materials, which requires stronger understanding of hygienic production conditions.
Sustainability creates new design considerations
Production systems are expected to support sustainability goals, requiring broader understanding of how hygiene, materials and operation interact.
Limited knowledge exchange between industries
Food, biotech and pharmaceutical industries hold different strengths in production procedures, documentation and hygienic design, which are not always combined.
