The variability of meat sources, as well as the composition and technological properties of the portions, make the industries control the process and quality offline and usually by empirical methods. This creates temporary inefficiencies that affect performance and product quality and safety.
The application of online optical sensor technologies allows the improvement of process control, which helps to adjust manufacturing conditions in real time. The characteristics of fiber optic sensors (non-destructive, easily installable and maintained) make them an ideal control instrument.
Improving the efficiency of the food manufacturing process through the use of optical sensors allows us to:
