Research exchange from India to Norway
An Indian PhD student from IIT Kharagpur has been on a research exchange to SINTEF Ocean in the RE-food project working with the Norwegian whitefish supply chain in the iProcess project. In iProcess he worked
The impact of supply uncertainty on supply chain planning processes
Four students at NTNU Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering have in 2017-2018 worked with production planning and how improved information flow can support critical decisions. The production planning in terms of mathematical modelling has
Working together with robots
Three of our researchers in iProcess, Ekrem Misimi, Aleksander Eilertsen and Jonatan S. Dyrstad are visiting the 2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2017) in Vancouver, Canada, this week. The theme
iProcess aims to change the food industry. See our Newsletter
iProcess Newsletter June 2017 The food industry in Norway prioritizes flexible robotic automation as means to be able to cope with the high biological variation in food raw material and to maximize the raw material
Case studies
A central task is to understand variations based on use of Big Data from novel rapid and on-line measuring methods for raw materials and product differentiation. TINE has expressed need for measuring different quality parameters
iProcess – The green shift in food industry
Artificial Eye, brain and hands: Research towards developing new solutions based on "artificial eye, brain and hand" is expected to be a next generation technology that will bring the Norwegian seafood, food and aquaculture industry
Robot grasping
One of the greatest challenges in robotics today is the contact processing of a robot with an object and dexterous handling of compliant objects. This is particularly emphasised when it comes to dealing with handling
– iProcess will change the food processing industry
After the iProcess Kickoff, both industrial partners and researchers should know what to expect from one another, according to Dr. Marit Aursand. Expect a change - the iProcess course is set. - The iProcess Kickoff

About us
iProcess’s main objective is to develop novel concepts and methods for flexible and sustainable food processing in Norway – that are to cope with small volume series and high biologicalvariation of the existing raw materials – to enable increased raw material utilization for food
products and to increase profitability.
