At present, new technological revolutions and industrial reforms are on the rise. The 'Made in China 2025' strategy continues to advance, and intelligent technologies are widely used. Many companies have used smart technologies or introduced smart production lines to increase production efficiency and make foods Production and processing become more 'easy'.
Intelligent technology makes food production more 'easy'
COFCO Huazhong: Making Drink Production Smarter
It is understood that COFCO Huazhong Plant adopts world-class advanced equipment and technology. Every day, more than 10 brands and more than 60 kinds of different tastes, all kinds of products continue to go offline to reach millions of households, and the intelligent automated production line is the largest guarantee of supply. The hero.
According to relevant personnel, the company has 3 advanced intelligent automated production lines, among which the Ergobloc-LC waterline is one of the most advanced production lines in the world. This production line consists of a number of mechanical equipment, including blow-swirling integrated equipment, testing equipment. , Conveying equipment, and packaging machinery and robot palletizing machines, production speed of more than 40,000 bottles per hour.
The author was informed that in the past, the company's product inspection process only required four to six people. However, the testing equipment is now fully enclosed, automated, and the entire production line requires only six workers, which not only improves production efficiency, but also saves labor costs. .
'Nobody dumpling factory' became popular
In recent years, the hottest topic may have been the word 'no one', no convenience store, no face noodle, no people's restaurant and so on. With the continuous development of intelligent technology, intelligence has penetrated into various industries. Traditional manufacturing also accelerates upgrades through artificial intelligence.
A few days ago, the “Dumpling Factory for Unmanned Dumplings” brushed friends and friends. According to relevant personnel, the dumpling processing factory did not see a hand-made dumpling worker, but a completely unattended automatic production line. From the dough, stirring. After making the dumplings in one go, the shape of the steamed dumplings will be accurately placed by pneumatic gripper. After the automatic packaging is completed, the unqualified steamed dumplings will be removed after the x-ray and metal detectors are used to ensure the quality and safety of the dumplings.
By improving equipment, we constantly inject new vitality into the intelligent plant. Compared with manual operation, the machine can work 24 hours a day, which greatly improves the production efficiency. The author was informed that Qinhuangdao Zhengda Foods has two intelligent steamed dumpling lines, each The line produces tens of thousands of steamed dumplings per hour and can produce approximately 1 million steamed dumplings in 24 hours. The overall estimated efficiency is increased by more than 10 times.
Smart Matching of Transport Resources Improves Cold Chain Transport Efficiency
With the help of cold chain storage and transportation resources across the country, Crystal Link can use intelligent technology to match the resources of various regions for food companies. When a food company transports goods that are less than the entire vehicle, there will be idle logistics resources. The fresh frozen food industry, which relies on high-cost cold-chain logistics, is even more wasteful.
Zhao Huixia, general manager of Crystal Chain Tonghuazhong District, once cited an example. After sending a batch of frozen goods from Henan to Zhejiang, he found that the quarantined ticket was missing after arriving at the customer's hands. The goods were repeatedly hauled back and forth, and the delivery was repeated. It could have been resolved in 1 day. It took six days before and after delivery to complete the delivery. Obviously, the cost is greatly increased and it is also a waste of cold chain resources.
As a result, CrystalLink started with multiple links, utilized an intelligent full-industry-chain monitoring system, focused on transportation process monitoring services, integrated national and industry standards, and formed a standardized system to conduct real-time monitoring during the raw material distribution process. The cold chain in the transportation is not interrupted; real-time video monitoring is performed in the production and processing process to ensure the standardization of the production process, thereby improving the cold chain transportation efficiency and avoiding waste of resources.
Focus on intelligence to ensure all aspects of dairy processing safety
With the rapid development of intelligent technology, smart applications have also entered the dairy product processing industry. At present, many dairy companies are undergoing transformation and upgrading, promoting the development of intelligent, digital production lines, and providing quality and safety protection for dairy products.
The author was informed that the production of fly crane milk products has been realized intelligently. From milk collection, evaporation and evaporation, spray drying and intelligent packing at the rear stage, digital display is realized in all production processes. At the same time, precise control of key control parameters is realized, and the intelligentization of PLC is realized. The control reduces the error rate of human operation and guarantees the product quality.
Another example, Red Star Dairy introduces a full set of GEA automated production lines, from the raw milk to finished products involved in the production process, basically more than 80% automated intelligent production. Future enterprise intelligence will also be in information technology, drying process energy efficiency, intelligent workshop There are further breakthroughs in development.
