EU funds €6m to improve efficiency of batch processes

Posted on 26 Mar 2015 by Tim Brown

A consortium of European industrial companies, universities and research institutes have launched a €6m (£4.42m) project to test the use of sensors to improve efficiency of batch process production.

The RECOBA (Cross-sectorial REal time sensing, advanced COntrol and optimization of BAtch processes, saving energy and raw materials) project is being funded for its three-year term by the European Union. The aim of the project is to optimise the efficiency and flexibility of different kinds of batch processes. The initial study will focus on the production…
