Collaborative project: Economically assessed and simulation-based approach for the reduction of losses induced by set-up and cleaning operations within food processing and packaging plants - subproject 4 (VoReVe)
Project
Project code: 281A107716
Contract period: 01.09.2018
- 31.08.2020
Budget: 41,552 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: food production
The joint project VoReVe with SimPlan AG, Hochschule Hannover, Iglo Frozen Fish Interna-tional and FRoSTA AG, funded by BMEL, included the conception of an economically evaluated and simulation-based process model. The goal was to reduce losses during setup and cleaning processes in food and packaging plants in the food processing industry and to accomplish more effective production planning and process flows through the solution to be developed. Based on the process model, a data acquisition technique was developed and evaluated through exemplary application in the production of frozen food. A growing variety of products resulting in smaller product quantities, accompanied by more frequent setup processes, justified the necessity of the project. By identifying causes of loss and instrumentalising scientific methods and strategies, the project goal was successfully achieved.
