Objective
During the production of durable baked goods (hard biscuits, crackers, crisp bread, rusk, ice-cream waffles, etc) and after baking, it is necessary to supervise certain product parameters in well-defined periods of time in order to ensure that the products fulfil the required quality and appearance standards (weight, moisture, physical dimensions, colour). Nowadays, in craft bakeries, the product samples are taken manually from the production line by the operators and then inspected. This inspection consists in most cases just on moisture determination and on the measurement of the product physical dimensions. These parameters are then used to determine the conformance of the product. The determination of the colour, a very important attribute for the consumer, if determined, is done visually. These methods are therefore subjective and not precise enough. The use of more accurate techniques is usually limited to large companies due in one hand to the high costs of more complex and precise devices and in the other hand due to the lack of skilled personnel able to use them. There is an evident need for the development of low cost, user-friendly instrument suitable for at-line use by small and medium size bakeries. The aim of the proposed project is to develop a modular sensor inspection system - SENBAK - for the continuous and automatic supervision of the quality parameters of durable baked goods in production lines. The development of the SENBAK system will be oriented for its use in small and medium size enterprises, in order to provide them with an easy to use and precise tool for product quality control. The SENBAK system will be a low cost system, rugged, simple, able to withstand the harsh condition in bakeries and to make automatic, fast and accurate quality inspection of durable baked goods.
