EU project: PicknPack

 FP7 project “automation in food packaging systems” ● 14 partners (onderzoeksinstituten en bedrijven) ● 14 M€ (9 M€ subsidie)

 Coördinatie door Wageningen UR ● Greenhouse Horticulture (Erik Pekkeriet) ● Food and Biobased Research

Voedselverwerkende industrie

 Voedselverwerkers worden geconfronteerd met ● Groot aantal producten en verpakkingen ● Kleine batches en series ● Retailers plaatsen orders laat

Voedselverwerkende industrie

 Om aan deze vragen te voldoen ● Veel handen aan de lijn

 Mensen zijn flexibel inzetbaar  Robots/machines zijn dat nu (nog) niet.

Robots in de voedselverwerking

 Huidige generatie robots in voedselverwerking ● Uitvoeren van een specifieke (simpele) taak ● Weinig flexibel mbt productvariaties ● Nog niet robuust genoeg

 Door de vraag naar flexibiliteit staan robots daarom vaak stil

PicknPack – Flexible food processing systems

PicknPack

 Doel: meer robots / automatisering in de voedselindustrie

 Focus op flexibiliteit, kleine batches/series ● Variatie van voedselproducten ● Variatie in verpakkingen ● Modules die inzetbaar zijn voor verschillende taken ● Snelle omsteltijden ● “Easy-in/easy-out” modules (herconfiguratie lijn) ● Gebruikersgemak ● Hygiënisch ontwerp / schoonmaakgemak

PicknPack - overzicht

 Inline en automatische kwaliteitscontrole  Integratie van robottechnologieën  Adaptieve verpakkingsmodule

 Integratie/communicatie  Tracking/tracing  Hygiëne  Life cycle analysis

Integration of modules An open multipoint framework No rigid interfaces to a network and not only exchange of necessary information to control the line. Also exchange of data on traceability, food quality and to realise a changeover to another product. A structured way of dealing with the integration-level challenges of making flexibly adaptable systems out of a large number of modular components: • integrated view on the composition of large-scale, data driven, modular, multi-vendor systems, built upon a small number of "simplexity" insights and design patterns. • design of a "component model" that identifies the different types of activities that a module can have. • providing "ontology" guidelines and tools to support expert knowledge extraction and representation, that can be adapted to a specific application domain. • identification of the various stakeholders that must interact with the kind of systems this project wants to support. For each stakeholder, customized workflows and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) will be designed, with a maximum reuse of the stakeholder-independent data and information infrastructure.

Waarnemingsmodule

 Doel: kwaliteitsbepaling  Scala aan sensoren ● Kleur, hyperspectraal (Wageningen UR, KU Leuven) ● 3D (Wageningen UR) ● X-ray(KU Leuven, Spectroscan) ● Microwave sening (U. Manchester)

Verpakkingsmodule

 Adaptief verpakken ● Flexibel en in-line creëren van de verpakkingen (Danish Tecnological Institute, CamTech)

● Flexibel printen van de verpakkingen (Xaar) ● Laser sealing (U. Manchester) ● Juiste folie en bewaarmethodes (Wageningen UR)

PicknPack - Impact

 Verbeterde adaptiviteit ● Flexibele robot systemen ● Adaptieve verpakkingsmodule

 Kosten reductie door betere inzetbaarheid machines  Objectieve kwaliteitscontrole: hogere en stabielere kwaliteit

 Betere hygiëne ● Minder handen aan de lijn ● Verbeterde/automatische schoonmaakprocedures
