A smart system for real-time monitoring of evaporation in wine aging The objective of the “Libatio - Smart system for real-time monitoring of evaporation in wine aging” project is to digitise the wine aging stage, allowing winemakers to reduce losses caused by evaporation inside wooden barrels, reduce the risks associated with current [...]
Data-driven fermentation management will lift microbreweries The goal of this project is to finalise the development of a data-driven fermentation management solution i.e. non-invasive Internet of Things solution to monitor and control fermentation in the beer industry. Currently in Europe, 9 out of 10 microbreweries do not have access to the right [...]
Smart sensors will reduce food waste in bread production Food waste is a gigantic and increasing problem in the developed countries and requires immediate action as this constitutes a massive loss of resources throughout the food production value chain. This project aims at constructing, testing and optimising a pilot process line to receive, handle and process bread waste. This technology enables the bread sector to reduce food waste [...]
Digital Optimisation Intralogistics in the Meat Industry German meat producer Richter Fleischwaren will start this digital optimisation project because of what they describe themselves as slow and incomplete flows. The company has to be digitised for a better resource efficiency and faster reactions to the market. As a result, Richter Fleischwaren has partnered [...]
New cooking method will secure standardisation at fine-dining quality Veltio has developed a cooking process based on the principles of molecular gastronomy and a patent-protected device introducing a novel cooking method. The device cooks quickly and evenly across a food portion, achieving the desired balance between internal and external texture. The project [...]
Optical detection of allergens in whey The whey side-stream from cheese production is today recognised as a key source of high-value ingredients. One of the quality challenges for whey processers is that the whey may contain traces of lysozyme – an enzyme used by cheese producers to extend the shelf life of [...]
Smooth processing with a smart audio sensor Many food manufacturers take a daily tour of their processing lines, when they listen out for suspicious sounds from moving parts that could spell trouble for production. Magics Instruments wants to make real-time detection of potential risks easier and more accessible to the food industry. [...]
Complex process and product characterisation in real time A strong IoT platform with integrated advanced sensing technologies could predict the key factors for standardising and improving performance in food production. This is the objective that Glaücor is working towards. The ReTi-PC project aims to create a real-time platform for monitoring the operation of [...]
Brewery management by a single system When various processing parameters are registered on paper or electronically, it can be hard to keep an overview of how production is going. At Lindemans Brewery in Belgium, this scattered approach has resulted in slow responses to issues that can cause a breakdown and impact product [...]
Automated quality control using a mobile app Is it possible to automate quality control of rapeseed with a mobile app? This was the question the German Institute of Food Technologies (DIL Technologie) chose to investigate in its S3FOOD project. Prior to the project, rapeseed quality control is carried out by employees, who [...]
