Introduction To Automation in Food Industry

*The current level of automation in the food industry has been described as

"islands of automation".

*Food industry presents many unique challenges to complete automation, the

industry has been successful in putting many automatic processes into place. The

next significant development will be to integrate these "islands of automation"

into an overall system of plant automation, from receiving raw materials to

shipping finished products

Introduction To Automation in Food Industry

*Nonetheless, the food industry now ranks among the fastest growing segments for plant

automation. For example, the food industry is among the top ten in using machine vision

technology, a key component in plant automation. However, most systems are isolated, batch-

type operations that target a specific task. In order for automation to be successful, it must be

integrated into the overall manufacturing system design and provide on-line, continuous control

capability

Automation In Food Industry

Plant Automation

Improved Productivity

Improved Product Quality

Improved Profitability


Improved Productivity

Plant productivity may be defined as the quantity of end products manufactured per unit of operating parameters – plant size, number of workers, time of operation, etc

Improved Profitability

Automation helps to improve productivity and product quality. Both of these contribute directly to improve profitability. Another important factor that makes automation extremely critical for the food industry is the need to comply with food safety and environmental regulatory agencies


Improved Product Quality

Quality assurance is one of the most important goals of any industry. The ability to in an expanding market share. Quality–assurance methods used in the food industry have traditionally involved human visual inspection

Uniqueness of the Food Industry

*One of the most important reasons for increased interest in automating the food industry is its

cost structure. Food processing is highly labor-intensive, with labor costs at anything up to 50

percent of the product cost. Improving productivity and reducing labor costs will therefore have

a significant impact on profitability

*Excellent examples of automation include processing and packaging Food products. Such as

Dairy ,Bakery ,Beverage ,Etc..,

Tools Of Automation In Food Industry

7. Systems Engineering


Computer Vision Systems

Computer vision is the science that develops the theoretical and algorithmic basis by which useful information about an object or scene can be automatically extracted and analyzed from an observed image, image set, or image sequence.

Computer vision applications currently range from simple inspection to vision-guided robotic assembly Such as Gauging ,Verification , Flow detection ,Identification, Recognition , Locating


Online Sensor

Sensor is an object whose purpose is to detect events or changes in its environment, and then provide a corresponding output. A sensor is a type of transducer; sensors may provide various types of output, but typically use electrical or optical signals.

Classification Of Sensor are of Many Types –Nano Sensor ,Bio sensor ,Chemical Sensor ,Optical Sensor Etc..


Robot Technology

These technologies deal with automated machines (robots for short) that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behaviors, and or cognition. Robots Technology have some kind of mechanical construction, a frame, form or shape designed to achieve a particular task Within the Specific Time .


Computer Integrated Manufacturing

Computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) is the manufacturing approach of using computers to control the entire production process. This integration allows individual processes to exchange information with each other and initiate actions.

Generally In Many Food Industry SAP (Computer Application ) Is Widely used In the Integrated Process

Few Advantages of Automation *Increased throughput or productivity.

*Improved quality or increased predictability of quality.

*Improved robustness (consistency), of processes or product.

*Increased consistency of output.

*Reduced direct human labor costs and expenses

*Reduce the Time Of Processing High Utility

*Safer working conditions.

Few Disadvantages of Automation

*Lower skill levels of workers. *High initial investment. *Retrenchment or unemployment. *Not suitable for short product life cycle *Not economically justifiable for small scale production *High Maintenance of Automation

Few Industries Of Automation *ITC

*Parle

*Britannia

*Nestle

*Amul

*Coca Cola

*Pepsi

*Pedigree

*Con Agro

*Heritage

*Dairy Industry

*Bakery Units

*Oil Industry

*And So Many Industries
