Seeking to Reduce Contamination in Production Lines (Converting Machines) |
| |
We are seeking to reduce contamination in our production lines (converting machines). The specific machines use diverse web materials (mainly non-woven based) to produce our products. The materials come to our machines in a planetary roll form. Those rolls would be unwound and conveyed through the converting processes (combining, cutting…) to form final products. Within this process, the web materials release different sources of contamination (e.g. dust &/or fibers) causing accumulation of contamination in all places of the machine where it can settle. With the late changes of materials, we have seen a substantial increase in contamination. As a result, we need to move cleaning times from 8 hour intervals (10 minute cleaning with 2 operators) to less than 6 hour intervals (>15min cleaning with 4 people). In order to maintain operability standards and productivity, we are seeking methods to return to 8 hour cleaning intervals. |
Seeking technologies to reduce GHGs in all aspects of the supply chain and manufacturing process. |
| |
PepsiCo is committed to reducing GHG emissions from seed to shelf. We are looking to engage with partners who can assist us in our goal of reducing GHG 20% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. As new technologies emerge, efficiencies will be gained and PepsiCo aims to remain at the forefront of best practices in the food and beverage industry. PepsiCo is seeking technologies to reduce GHGs in all aspects of the supply chain and manufacturing process. Solutions may be in one or more of the following areas: • Agriculture – sustainable farming and the reduction of GHG intensive fertilizers • Manufacturing – adopting energy efficient manufacturing processes; novel methods for utilizing waste; use of renewable thermal energy at scale • Packaging – alternative packaging materials and formats that reduce GHGs • Distribution – technologies to assist in the efficiency of our company-owned and third party fleet |
Seeking existing market solutions targeted towards crawling insects |
| |
The issue of crawling insects in homes has been an ongoing issue. The popular types of crawling insects causing problems have been ants and cockroaches. The search will focus on existing market solutions targeted towards crawling insects such as ants and cockroaches (other types of crawling insects are in scope i.e., bed bugs). |
Paper-based temperature sensor with high sensitivity |
| |
The CSIC has developed a thermo-resistive sensor comprising a semiconductor material onto a paper substrate. The use of this type of materials together with deposition technique of semiconductor element allow to design a thermo-resistive sensor with high sensitivity to abrupt temperature changes being up to an order of magnitude more sensitive than analogous sensors based on graphite. The use of paper as substrate makes this sensor cheap, easy to produce and biodegradable. The incorporation of this device in fabrics allows to monitor body temperature. Likewise, when integrated in packaging, it allows to record thermal history of goods. Industrial partners from the electronic components and sensors sectors or companies from textile and paper industry are being sought to collaborate through a patent license agreement. |
Automatic autonomous device for water control and monitoring, and other aqueous media (based on the detection of analytes of interest) |
| |
Smart device focused on real-time water management. Applicable both drinking water and industrial and waste waters, monitored parameters include cations (Fe (III), Hg (II), Al (III), etc.), oxidants (Cl, nitrites, peroxide, etc.), biogenic amines, trinitrotoluene, pH, turbidity, conductivity, etc. This developed technology, composed by a series of sensors, small biochips, which experiment a change of colour when contacting the analyte of interest. This change is captured by a digital camera and is sent via Wifi to a database, where it is analysed and registered. It is also possible to issue a report and/or inform clients in real-time. |
Exon skipping by CRISPR-Cas9 editing for Duchenne muscular dystrophy |
| |
Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a rare, severe genetic disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting. It is caused by mutations in DMD gene that prevent the production of the muscle isoform of dystrophin protein. The symptom onset is usually in early childhood and life expectancy is ~30 years. Elevidys is currently the only gene therapy approved for DMD, which is designed to deliver a gene coding for a shorter version of dystrophin. This approach was taken because delivery of the whole DMD gene is challenging as it is the largest human gene. Antisense oligonucleotide medications for exon skipping (exons 45, 51, and 53) to produce a shorter yet functional dystrophin gene have been approved, which require periodic administration. None of the drugs is suitable for all DMD patients. More treatment solutions are urgently needed. |
