Advanced Automation of the Mushroom Packaging Filling Process

Symbiotec有限公司，贸易作为神奇的蘑菇公司（MMC）生产蘑菇包装（r）（MP）相结合的菌丝体与农业废物生长保护性包装，并提供替代难以回收的发泡聚苯乙烯（EPS）和其他化石燃料为基础的保护性泡沫。该项目的目的是加快关键工艺步骤的自动化，以提高工艺效率，降低成本并提高质量。与聚苯乙烯相比，这对创建价格派对至关重要，并支持更广泛的采用。该项目将专注于蘑菇包装生长过程中最重要的手动部分，并建立在成功的概念验证工作的基础上，以完全自动化我们如何填充生长模具的过程。去除手工工作将使我们的优秀团队能够专注于质量控制和更多的增值任务，同时允许先进的自动化系统在满足和加速蘑菇包装需求所需的水平上进行扩展。我们的项目专注于特定的挑战主题：* 先进材料和制造业 * 人工智能，数字和高级计算 * 机器人和智能机器该项目展示了该公司的野心，以破坏一个既定的化石燃料为基础的包装市场，多年来，制造业增强。为了参与竞争并认识到100%天然包装产品的潜力，我们需要这样的资金来为关键工艺步骤提供有针对性的支持，并使我们雄心勃勃的英国业务能够发挥其潜力。

Symbiotec Ltd, trading as The Magical Mushroom Company (MMC) produces Mushroom Packaging(r) (MP) by combining mycelium with agricultural waste to grow protective packaging and provide an alternative to hard-to-recycle expanded polystyrene (EPS) and other fossil-fuel-based protective foams. The purpose of this project is speed up the automation of a key process step to drive efficiencies in the process, reduce cost and improve our quality. This critical to creating price party compared to polystyrene and support wider scale adoption.This project will be focusing on the most important and manual part of the Mushroom Packaging growing process and build on successful proof of concept work to fully automate the process for how we fill our grow moulds. Removing the manual work will allow our talented team to focus on quality control and more value add tasks, while allowing the advanced automated systems to scale at the level required to meet and accelerate the demand in Mushroom Packaging.Our project is focused on the specific challenge themes for:* Advanced materials and manufacturing* AI, digital and advanced computing* Robotics and smart machinesThe project demonstrates the ambition of this company to disrupt an established fossil fuel based packaging market which has had many years of manufacturing enhancement. To compete and recognise the potential of a 100% natural packaging product, we need funding like this for targeted support for a key process step and enable our ambitious UK business to reach its potential.
