It has done so in the framework of the `Danone Digital Summit’, held in the laboratories that the brand has located in the town of Utrecht.
Last week, a CCPS (Sinterpack Collaborative Palletizing Cell) traveled to Utrecht to be presented at the Danone Digital Manufacturing Summit. An event designed to show different work teams of the group the latest technologies and innovations focusing on the digital factory of the future. It is a requirement that the different technologies presented be identified as having a high potential for implementation in a Danone ELN plant (Early Life Nutrition, one of the four pillars of the Danone Group, based on the manufacture of nutritional products for pregnant women and babies up to 2 years of age).
In this 4.0 context, Sinterpack’s demonstration aroused great interest, as its CCPS directly responds to the objective of identifying innovative applications with high potential to be tested in the short term in Danone ELN product facilities.
This edition was made up of more than 25 members of the Danone Group, including representatives from Central Engineering, R & D, Manufacturing and Quality.
In addition, the event was attended by 21 companies from the technology sector, which presented solutions focused on the intelligent animation, based on cloud-based analytics, applications and connection to product/quality specifications; by Big Data, analyzing in real time the main parameters influencing the monitoring of the manufacturing process, by predictive maintenanceto the augmented reality, to the 3D printing or to the digital simulation of factory processes (Agile Factory Design), including how we link typical R&D tools and manufacturing.
Our application, materialized the presentation given by Marion Nombela, Regional Key Account Manager Southern Europe and MEA of our partner Universal Robots, focused on the new concept of collaborative robotics and its applications in end-of-line operations in the food industry.
