TERMOSELL40 Project: The food industry uses artificial vision to increase the quality of thermosealed packaging (chicken, poultry, etc.) that reaches the consumer
Recently, the MINECO approved funding for the TERMOSELL40 Project, aimed at industrial research on the application of artificial vision technologies to provide effective solutions to improve packaging processes in the agro-industrial sector.
The objective of the project is the development of a pilot equipment by the SME INNDEO for the detection of quality problems in thermosealed chicken trays according to the quality criteria of the AN Group.
The ALISSEC project, “Design of healthy and sustainable food and ingredients from the circular economy”, starts up
The ALISSEC project arises within the Agri-Food Cluster of Navarra (NAGRIFOOD) applying open innovation methodologies for the search for alternatives in the sustainable and affordable production of new ingredients and healthy foods.
The project will take advantage of alternative crops and by-products generated in the region that provide a high content of protein, fiber and/or bioactive compounds of interest and that also respond to specific nutritional requirements for the protection and improvement of health.
AGROTIC HUB Project: Development of a Cross-Border Hub to promote the Digital Transformation of the agri-food sector
This is a pioneering initiative to support the value chain of this sector with the aim of improving its competitiveness through the digitization of its companies.
‘AGROTIC-HUB’, therefore, aims to open a new stage of cooperation in the agricultural and agri-food sector of the Euroregion from a more comprehensive approach, bringing together all subsectors and with a comprehensive view of the value chain.

This was stated, at least, by those responsible after the signing this Friday of the agreement with the Euroregion which means the official launching of the aforementioned cross-border hub.
NOVONIR Project: New low-cost miniaturized NIR technology for the determination of in-situ quality parameters in the meat sector
The “NOVONIR” project, which has been awarded to us by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism, is oriented towards industrial research in NIR technology (near infrared spectroscopy) to develop miniaturized portable equipment which, through integration with artificial intelligence, allows for the non-destructive, precise and real-time control of quality parameters in manufacturing processes in the meat sector.
