Food for thought

  
The food manufacturers who are successful in today's fast paced, ever changing industry are the ones who can capitalise on fast moving trends, optimise their efficiency and productivity, best manage their supply chain logistics, and minimise waste. Chris Evans of Mitsubishi Electric looks at how advanced automation technologies can help.

 

Perhaps more than any other sector, the food industry faces the most intense pressures to meet the needs of a fickle market whose preferences can change on a whim. Added into the mix are increasingly demanding legislation (everything from the General Food Law Regulation to the EU Food Hygiene Regulations), a growing environmental awareness among the public, government-driven campaigns on what should and should not be consumed and the ever-present requirement to manage hygiene and food safety.

Mitsubishi Electric Robot redefines performance standards and is food safe

  

The new MELFA F-Series robots from Mitsubishi Electric are designed to be flexible, fast, functional and food safe. As such they are expected to open up many new fields of usage.

 

Based on a revolutionary new mechanical design the MELFA F-Series robots are extremely flexible and able to reach a far greater working area than other robots. They can even reach round and behind their own base. The compact design allows the robot to work in confined spaces and can be floor, wall or ceiling mounted. 

 

 




    
Mitsubishi Electric brings automation to baking technology and optimises production efficiency 

    

Mitsubishi Electric offers a wide range of products and services for the baking industry ranging from the automation of simple inverter-controlled dough mixing applications that can improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by means of a patented algorithm, to robot technology for increasing production. Production, energy and quality data can be communicated continuously without any problems using the MES-IT interface module.

Mitsubishi Electric technology helps train future engineers


A process industries training rig, built at Humberside Engineering Training Association (HETA) uses Mitsubishi Electric PLCs, HMIs and control software to provide a range of different educational scenarios for students and apprentices.

The idea behind the rig is that it provides courses in a live plant environment, so is very much more practical than computer-based simulations. It will be used by about 80 full time apprentices and 100 adults on training courses a year.
