Food Industry Growing to new levels of Automation
UK food prices have risen 12 percent in the last five years, while incomes have fallen 10 percent. There were seasonal shortages this year and experts are predicting worldwide food shortages by 2020. Clearly the food industry needs to think hard about the future, reducing waste and increasing efficiency, as a recent food and
beverage conference hosted by Mitsubishi Electric discussed.
Food processing and distribution in this country are already very sophisticated but improvements must be found if we are to face the future with confidence. Fortunately the industry is able to demonstrate a willingness to invest and innovate, upon which it can build.

Funding of automation products that enhance U.K manufacturing
The Technology Strategy Board has invited proposals from industry for funding of automation projects that enhance UK manufacturing. The objective is to fund research into developing either new technology, implementing automation in new ways / processes or integrating automation into the whole enterprise. UK companies and research organisations are eligible to apply, with 50% funding available to businesses (or 60% to SME's). The deadline for applications is 6th March 2013, with registration required by 27th February.
Projects are expected to be around £500k to £2M, with the food industry having £2M allocated to it as a priority area. Even where you may not develop products in the UK, the competition is still relevant as it applies to the application of automation into manufacturing processes, systems and facilities. If novel use of automation technology could benefit end users in processes where it was not previously possible or practical, then this meets the goal of the competition.
If you would like to know more, please do not hesitate to contact Steve Brambley (Gambica) - sbrambley@gambica.org.uk - 020 7642 8090.

Oh crumbs, solved at last
A process that defied automation has finally been brought into the 21century by systems integrator Clint Johnson of the wonderfully named Control Freaks Ltd, who has developed an all-Mitsubishi Electric solution.
He automated a machine for producing biscuit crumbs, breakfast cereal and snack foods, replacing a labour intensive manual process with one that guarantees consistent results.
"The basic process is to mix ingredients into uniform pellets and dry them," explains Clint. "Sounds easy enough, but the devil is in the detail."
