Quesería Rey Silo and Electrónica Edimar, PADIH grants through AsDIH

Thanks to the PADIH programme, and the collaboration in Asturias of the Asturias Digital Innovation Hub (AsDIH), companies such as Electrónica Edimar can learn about and apply the latest digital technologies to their day-to-day processes. In this case, Electrónica Edimar uses a hyperspectral vision camera to monitor stuffed peppers frozen inside an opaque container in order to know how many peppers are in each container.

Or the Rey Silo cheese factory, which, using optical sensors based on near-infrared (NIR) technology, is able to monitor the quality parameters of raw and whole cow’s milk in real time and to know the fat/protein ratio in a simple and immediate way. This data is key to ensuring that the milk is in the best condition to be made into cheese.

Our partner ASINCAR offered both companies its advisory services, testing the technological solutions to see their viability before investing, developing new products and processes through their integration, training in their use and even help in obtaining financing. The result is that ASINCAR acted as an external R&D&I department for the companies.
