From AI to blockchain , robotics to big data , digitisation has turned the food and beverage sector on its head . For instance , French retailer Carrefour made headlines this year when it pioneered a new blockchain to trace food from farms to stores , helping to drive food safety . Walmart has also led the way with substantial technology investments , trialling a new robotics system that picks customers ’ grocery orders , a hightech distribution centre , automated floor scrubbers and more .
