Wireless Sensor Networks for Greening Food Processing J. Valverde IST. ICT Tools for Greening Food Processing Businesses GIST Project “ICT tools greening food processing businesses” is a collaborative project co-funded by the CIP Eco-Innovation Program financial instrument, which main objective is to boost European’s environmental and competitive standing by supporting solutions based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in order to protect the environment while creating a larger market for “green” technologies, management methods, product and services. Project sponsored by Wireless Sensor Network Deployment in Food Factories • Cheese Factory (Macaye, France) • Meat treatment Factory (Modena, Italy) PARTNERS Environmental Monitoring • Waste Water • Temperature of the water • pH • Turbidity • Dissolved Oxygen • Conductivity • Biological Oxygen Demand • Chemical Oxygen Demand • Fat & Oil • Water Volume • Ions • UNATTENDED SYSTEM • EASY INSTALLATION. NO CABLES • CONTINOUS MONITORING • CHANGEABLE MEASUREMENT POINTS • CHEAPER SOLUTON • SIMPLER AD ANTAGES • Air Emissions • Humidity • Temperature • Compressed Air • Ammonia • Carbon Dioxide • Water Steam • Micro Sensors = • Electrochemical Sensors Cookie Node • Ion Selective Electrodes (ISE) CONCLUSIONS An environmental monitoring system based on a Wireless Sensor Network for green production in food factories is being developed. The main goal of this work is to study the feasibility of this kind of systems in terms of reliability and competitiveness in price with traditional monitoring systems.
