    Abstract: A computer-implemented method (500) for monitoring a food processing system (100), arranged to produce a food product (102), using a data processing apparatus (112) is provided. The method comprises receiving (502) process traceability data (200) related to the food product (102), wherein the process traceability data (200) comprises information about which food processing units (104a-e) that were involved in processing the food product (102) as well as during which time slots the food processing units were involved for processing the food product (102), receiving (504) process event data (202) related to the food processing units of the food production system (100), wherein the process event data (202) comprises information about state changes of the food production units that occurred during processing of the food product (102) as well as points of time when the state changes occurred, receiving (506) settings (204) of the processing units (104a-e) associated with different states, determining (508) the settings used for the food production units (104a-e) during different time slots by combining the process event data (202) and the settings of the processing units (204) associated with the different states, and determining (510) the settings of the food production units (104a-e) used for processing the food product (102) by combining the process traceability data (200) and the settings used for the food production units during the different time slots, and providing (512) the settings of the food production units (104a-e) used for processing the food product (102).

    Abstract: A powder intake unit is configured to receive powder from an opened powder bag. The powder intake unit includes an upper section defining an inlet, and a lower conical section that tapers radially inwardly from a top end at which the lower conical section is connected to the upper section to a bottom end at which an outlet for discharging the powder is arranged. An upper section of the powder intake unit has a rear wall arranged opposite the inlet and a ceiling that is inclined downwardly from the inlet toward the rear wall.

    Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a method of manufacturing a strip for sealing a laminated packaging material for liquid food products, wherein a pre-manufactured strip comprising a plurality of layers made of polymer material is provided, the layers comprising at least an inner surface layer, an outer surface layer and center layer. In the method, at least one of the inner and outer surface layers is exposed to a heat treatment effecting that a degree of transparency of the manufactured strip is increased with regard to the degree of transparency of the pre-manufactured strip. The present disclosure further refers to a strip manufactured in the method and to a laminated packaging material and a respective packaging container comprising the strip. The present disclosure also refers to a respective device to execute the method.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method (400) for configuring a food processing system (100) to produce a plurality of food products (102a, 102b) is disclosed. The method (400) comprises retrieving (402) food processing steps (116) linked to the number of food products (102a, 102b) from a recipe database (114), generating (404) a running scheme (120) based on the food processing steps (116), executing (406) the running scheme (120) on a virtual food processing system (200), wherein the virtual food processing system (200) corresponds to the food processing system (100), receiving (408) virtual process output data set (122) from the execution performed in the virtual food processing system (200). In case an acceptance (124) of the virtual process output data set (122) is received (410), uploading (412) the running scheme (120) to the food processing system (100) such that this is configured in accordance to the running scheme (120).
