    摘要: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are described for filling packages (112) in a food packaging machine (100) with a food product, wherein the food packaging machine (100) comprises a plurality of sub-systems. One or more local variable values (116) are received, which indicate measurements by the food packaging machine (100) of one or more physical parameters for a local filling sub-system (300). One or more remote variable values (204) are received, which indicate measurements by the food packaging machine (100) of one or more physical parameters for one or remote sub-systems. One or more control parameter values are determined for the local filling sub-system (300) of the food packaging machine (100), by processing the remote (204) and local (116) variable values using a reinforcement learning model (206) and a local control model (210). One or more control parameters of the local filling sub-system (300) are adjusted in accordance with the determined control parameter values. The filling of packages (112) with food product by the food packaging machine (100) is controlled in accordance with the adjusted one or more control parameters.

    摘要: A method for tracing a food package for assuring efficient recycling is provided. The method comprises establishing a first communication session between the food package and a user device, receiving a user identification associated to the user device, receiving a package identification from a package identification device provided in the food package, establishing a second communication session between the food package and a package collecting device receiving a PCD identification from the package collecting device determining package material associated with the food package by using the package identification, determining recycling material associated with the package collecting device by using the PCD identification, in case the package material and the recycling material match, in case a package disposal is detected by the package collecting device, registering a recycling confirmation to a user account associated with the user identification.

    摘要: A sensor unit (10) is configured to be mounted in the vicinity of an electric motor (20) in a food packaging machine. The sensor unit comprises: at least one sensor device configured to generate sensor data representative of an environmental parameter of the food packaging machine, a wireless transmitter for transmitting the sensor data, and a power source for providing energy to the at least one sensor device and the wireless transmitter. The sensor unit (10) provides for ease of installation and maintenance by being self-powered through energy harvesting of a magnetic field (B1, B2) generated by the electric motor (20), by use of at least one receiving coil in the power source.
