EMBOT-ITS. Use of advanced technology and big data management to optimise sausage drying rooms
Embot-Its. Utilización de tecnología avanzada y gestión de Big Data para optimizar secaderos de embutidos curados
Objectives
The objective of the project is to improve the efficiency of the sausage curing process through advanced data analytics and smart decision support systems.
Specifically, the aim is to study, monitor, model and apply control strategies to optimise sausage drying to reduce and standardise curing times so that product shrinkage is homogeneous and the quality of the products is maintained.
Objectives
El objetivo del proyecto es mejorar la eficiencia en el proceso de curado de embutidos a través de análisis de datos avanzados y sistemas inteligentes de toma de decisiones.
Específicamente, estudiar, monitorizar, modelar y aplicar estrategias de control para optimizar el secado de embutidos permitiendo reducir los tiempos de curación y uniformarlos para que las reducciones en los productos sean homogéneas y mantengan la calidad de los productos.

Context
This project proposes a number of actions to be carried out by two representative companies (Splendid Foods, Patel) that have provided significant improvements in the economic and environmental sustainability, competitiveness and optimisation of production processes in the sector, thus boosting internationalisation.
In the project, resource use and manufacturing conditions associated with the cured sausage production were assessed, focusing on drying, but including prior processes that may have an effect on the former. For this reason, the production process was analysed to identify flows, resources used, properties of the raw material, environmental conditions, etc. in each of the phases.
