OliKrom at the service of companies in the agri-food sector<\/h3>\n

Today, the agri-food industry sector includes more than 15,000 companies in France generating a turnover of \u20ac200,000 million, the second highest turnover in Europe after Germany (source: Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty - Panorama of the agri-food industries, 2022 edition<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Faced with this economic challenge, the security issues faced by professionals in the agri-food sector are growing<\/strong>. The pressure on environmental and societal aspects is growing, while reconciling the requirements of cost and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Control Critical Point) policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Necessity to increase the safety of the manufacturing steps<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The evolution of ISO standards applied in the food industry is real, all professionals must implement preventive measures to ensure the safety of food during the manufacturing and processing stages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sanitary safety<\/a> is therefore becoming a major concern for all the actors of the agri-food value chain. The slightest mistake very quickly gives rise to a media frenzy, which is damaging for the sector and the industrialist involved.<\/p>\n

The constraints are strong for this industry<\/strong>, especially with regard to quality control means that must be integrated into their environment and adapted to risk management processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

If color change was a solution to improve food safety?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
\n\t

The idea is to \"make the colors speak<\/a>\" to alert and inform of an anomaly<\/strong>. Indeed, the change of color of a coating, a sensor, a label is a phenomenon understandable by everyone<\/strong>. The operator or the camera on a production line can react to the slightest change in color of the \"tracker\"!<\/p>\n

OliKrom has acquired unique expertise in this particular field, which combines \"color\" and \"decision\". We support many industrial players from start to finish<\/a>, from the need to the deployment of prevention solutions<\/a>, in an innovative approach by designing and producing adapted solutions<\/strong>, based on the intelligence of colors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our know-how is our ability to propose breakthrough materials<\/a>, with color modulation in response to a physicochemical stimulus, in order to create communication channels with their environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

We work with many companies to develop innovative technologies to enhance security.<\/p>\n

The richness offered by smart materials allows the creation of any device that is reactive to temperature, light, pressure, solvent or gas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Some application examples<\/h2>\n

Smart materials capable of changing color, like the chameleon, are real predictive aids for the control of food processes<\/strong>, in areas where it is complex, or even impossible, to install suitable metrological tools.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Creating a colored indicator to inform of a sudden pH variation<\/h3>\n

The first case is the use of a colored indicator for inform a sudden and anomalous pH variation in a tank of water, soft drink or alcoholic beverage. The challenge is take action as quickly as possible on the production line to limit the costs associated with waste treatment and production interruption<\/strong>. Innovative solutions is also an internal vector of continuous improvement. The company becomes a driving force by adapting its principles and daily business practices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Signaling excessive humidity by a color change<\/h3>\n

Another example is to signal by color change the excessive presence of humidity, an uncontrolled temperature increase inside a grain silo. These measures of prevention and control of environments and premises can now be achieved by the deployment of color change indicators that combine technicality and ease of use<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Detecting the presence of bacteriological inputs<\/h3>\n

Another problem: the presence of bacteriological inputs on a production line (Salmonella<\/em> strains ...). What do you think a bout integrate a colored tracer directly into the process to validate cleaning or disinfection work<\/strong> and thus guarantee a state of hygiene with the regulations in industry?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Integrate tools to manage the risk of food contamination<\/h2>\n

The smart packaging<\/h3>\n

OliKrom's innovative solutions will revolutionize the packaging of tomorrow: packaging will become intelligent. The challenge is to develop packaging and packaging units:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
