Ultrasounds and artificial vision advanced to improve the packaging of alimentary products
The Spanish project Intec studies to optimise the processes of control of the packaging in the industry agroalimentaria. The investigation centres in the development and possible application of a combination of solutions technologically innovative. For this, are using technologies of artificial vision advanced, such as the thermography and the spectral vision (or chemical image). Likewise, It is studying the application of other innovations like the ultrasounds to improve the control and detection of anomalies arisen during the process of packaging.
The main function of the containers consists in preserving the foods and treat to increase his useful life, keeping his nutritional and sensory qualities. The materials of packaging that employ are of diverse nature (plastics mainly, but also complexes with collagen, cellulose, etc.) and have to protect to the food that lodge so much of his deterioration by oxidation as by microbiological pollution. Besides, the processes of packaging are used to to effect an empty or enter a protective atmosphere to the gases, the humidity, etc.
Increase the alimentary hygiene, ensure the useful life of the product, reduce defective batches and optimise the processes to be more competitive, aim of the project.
The control of the materials of packaging and of the process of packaging is key to detect any failure and avoid that the product packed of defective way continue on its course in the chain and arrive to the consumer in bad state. Like this then , the aim of the project is to increase the levels of alimentary hygiene, ensuring the useful life of the product inside the container and reducing the number of defective batches.
Intec Adds the knowledge and the experience of different Spanish companies and centres of innovation. The consortium form it the company AN Avícola Mélida (Group AN) that leads the project, Pygsa Systems and Applications, Viscofan and ainia technological centre. The project, that has a length of two years, freamers in the Subprograma Innpacto of the National Program of Public Cooperation-Deprived of the Ministry of Economy and competitiveness.
