 | Seeking Moisture Barrier for Flexible Packaging |
|
PepsiCo is looking for novel resins that can co-extrude with their core resins to form a skin layer with high functionality that can anchor metal to film or highly functional coatings which would serve the same purpose. Inherently high barrier coatings that can be applied as primer coating or top coating over metal could also be a solution. |
| | Seeking Natural Preservatives for Beverage Applications |
|
PepsiCo Global Beverages is seeking natural preservatives/antimicrobials for beverage applications. Specifically, they are interested in novel/new ingredients that were not available in the past for beverage systems. A directional cost target in the range of $0.02 to $0.05 cents per serving will be acceptable. The project scope includes non-alcoholic beverages, both carbonated and non-carbonated. |
| | Seeking Free Water Carry-Over Measurement |
|
To identify a measurement technique that can robustly and accurately quantify the amount of Free Water carryover (FWCO). Substantial quantities of water are used during the potato washing and slicing processes of PC production. Techniques are used to remove free water carryover (FWOC) before entering the fryer. Any excess water remaining, and water associated with the potatoes is released through the stack during frying. Whilst there are current techniques in place to remove the water used in wash and slice operations being carried over into the fryer, it is not 100% efficient and improvements are being investigated. It is estimated that FWCO can contribute up to 10% of the heating load required. Being able to further reduce the amount of water that is carried over by even a few percent will lead to significant reduction in energy requirement for the frying process and, in turn, reduce GHG emissions. To be able to determine the amount of water that is carried over a robust measurement technique is required. |
 | Modular Inspection Robot for Harsh Environments |
|
Cutting-edge, autonomous robot with a modular design, capable of flexible movement and equipped for both visual and non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection modes. The engineered robot can operate in extreme fluctuating outdoor hot/cold temperature conditions. Have potential application in inspection across various industries, including construction, and oil & gas. |
 | TU Dublin have developed AI assisted hardware/software package |
|
Researchers at TU Dublin have developed a machine learning (AI) assisted hardware/software package or ecosystem that is run locally, via wireless or physically tethered connection. |
 | Decision support tool for managing the PQ Problem Extended |
|
Decision Support Tool for Production Flexibility (Volume and Mix) (specifically, the Extended Goldratt PQ Problem) based on Hybrid Simulation (discrete simulation and agent-based intelligent simulation). |
