How can the food industry and their equipment vendors use design as a tool to enter the circular economy? Circular design is a tool used in the circular economy. The future must become more sustainable than what it is today, and designers can pave the way forward by using circular design. Circular design In circular
The most important barrier for introduction of technology with artificial intelligence in processing of food in Norway, is the complexity of the new technology. The new technology is demanding for firms to adopt with their current knowledge base. Increased automation Increased use of automation with artificial intelligence has changed the production processes in almost every
Modern dairy factories produce thousands of cheese blocks per day. We evaluated NIR spectroscopy for on-line determination of fat and dry matter in such cheeses. The motivation is true time control of the production process. Dairy production involves a range of complex processes where quality of the end product depends on raw material variation as
Today, robots lack the visual, tactile and cognitive intelligence of humans to perform complex handling and processing tasks. We show how to endow robots these abilities and how to teach them to handle complaint food objects by Learning from Demonstration. The robotic handling of compliant and deformable food raw materials, characterized by high biological variation,
Hides are one of the most important rest raw materials or plus-products produced by the meat industry as they are further processed and used in leather production. The hide supply chain consists of a producer (farm), slaughterhouse, hide processor and a tannery. A lot of data is generated in this supply chain but there is
Information sharing is one of the main supply chain strategies for reducing uncertainty and is vital for supply chain efficiency. All actors can benefit from sharing relevant information in a timely manner and improve supply chain coordination. Whitefish supply chains are complex in nature due to seasonal variations, high supply uncertainty and rapid quality deterioration
