Our projects adress a broad variety of topics in digitalization of Food Technology

• Full real-time quality control by sensor fusion and virtual images

• Flexible production on demand by cyber-physical systems

• Transparency – overall traceability

• Smart assistance systems

• Low-cost inline sensing

• Prediction of shelf life

Research: ILT.NRW, inIT and other research initiatives of TH OWL jointly contribute to making

food production of the future safer, of higher quality and more resource-efficient.

Transfer: Innovative food technologies and individual solutions and processes can be

researched and tested in the research environment of Smart FOODFACTORY.

Qualification: Through training, seminars, individual workshops and lectures, companies are

given access to our research know-how in the area of Food Industry 4.0.

Demonstrators / Analysis labs: Companies can have new products and processes analyzed

and jointly develop demonstrator systems.
