Résumé
The monitoring of product formulation is of significance in the performance and management of many manufacturing industries such as fast-moving consumable goods (FMCG) production. Industrial Tomography Systems (ITS) has developed an industrial tomography meter that utilizes electrical process tomography technology and is able to offer an accurate in-line concentration/quality measurement. The industrial meter has already been applied to manufacturing applications with good performance. The same technology could be more widely applied to FMCG industries such as in-line product recognition to reduce waste and increase productivity in continuous production lines. The technology can be further extended to real-time measurement of clean in place (CIP).

Description (French)
Le suivi de la formulation des produits est important pour la productivité et la gestion de nombreuses industries manufacturières telles que la production de produits de consommation courante. L’entreprise Industrial Tomography Systems a mis au point un tomographe industriel qui exploite la technologie de la tomographie par procédé électrique et qui est capable d’offrir une mesure précise de la concentration ou de la qualité en ligne. Le compteur industriel a déjà été appliqué à des applications de fabrication avec de bons résultats. La même technologie pourrait être étendue aux industries des biens de grande consommation, comme la reconnaissance des produits en ligne, afin de réduire les déchets et d’augmenter la productivité des lignes de production en continu. La technologie peut encore être utilisée pour mesurer un nettoyage en place en temps réel.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
