About
Piera Centobelli is a leading researcher at the intersection of operations management, sustainability, and digital innovation. Her work primarily focuses on how emerging technologies—particularly those of the Fourth Industrial Revolution—can transform traditional industries, with a special emphasis on the agri-food and dairy sectors. In her highly cited 2023 paper, "Birth of dairy 4.0: Opportunities and challenges in adoption of fourth industrial revolution technologies in the production of milk and its derivatives" (66 citations), Centobelli systematically maps the potential and pitfalls of integrating smart technologies into dairy production, offering a foundational framework for the sector’s digital transition. Her contributions extend to circular economy models, supply chain sustainability, and the strategic adoption of Industry 4.0 tools to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact. With a growing body of work that bridges engineering, management, and environmental science, Centobelli has become a key voice in shaping how food systems can leverage innovation for a more sustainable future. Her research is essential reading for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand the practical pathways toward a smarter, greener food industry.
