Use case: The ""EchoEgg"" project successfully implemented a manufacturing process digitalisation solution for Ecomotive Kft, a producer of egg-based products in Bábolna, Hungary. This €100,000 EU-funded initiative, under the Horizon 2020 S3Food framework, integrated advanced sensor-based technologies to enhance production efficiency and quality assurance. The project involved upgrading existing sensor systems with new ones, including weight-measuring cells, thermometers, and consumption and speed meters. A comprehensive production monitoring system was developed to interpret and visually represent production steps and influencing factors. This solution delivered immediate results, enabling better technology discipline, reduced manual data entry, and automated efficiency calculations, streamlining quality assurance processes.
