Reinigungsprozesse in produzierenden Betrieben: Automatisierung und Qualitätssicherung am Beispiel der Lebensmittelproduktion

Product purity and the cleanliness of production facilities are two factors which are decisive in ensuring flawless product quality in the production of food, pharmaceutical products and in the lacquering of metal semiproducts. If the production processes are automated then it is also possible to control cleaning operations exactly according to requirement. The implementation of sensor systems capable of detecting contamination and soiling enables the monitoring and checking of cleaning procedures and the control of automated in-process cleaning systems. With the swabian ravioli serving robot and a robot system with an integrated contamination detection system, the Fraunhofer IPA has developed two robotic cells that get to grips with this problem
