At Clúster Foodservice, we continue to champion technological innovation through the Norman Project, an initiative aimed at optimizing the process of transforming wheat into flour, enhancing the efficiency, quality, and sustainability of milling operations.
Aligned with our strategic goals of digitalization and sustainability, the project addresses the current challenges faced by the milling industry, which must adapt to new technological and environmental demands.
Norman brings fundamental values that will directly benefit the food sector:
● Process optimization: The project improves flour production efficiency through the implementation of digital and automated solutions, reducing costs and enhancing overall process performance.
● Environmental sustainability: By optimizing energy consumption and reducing food waste, the project promotes a more responsible use of natural resources, aligning with the sector’s environmental requirements.
● Quality improvement: Through innovation in production processes, the project enables the achievement of a higher-quality end product, increasing the competitiveness of the participating companies.
● Innovation in digitalization: By interconnecting IT systems and platforms, the project facilitates better production management and more agile, effective decision-making, raising the technological level of the industry.
The working group involved in this project includes the Digitalization and New Business Models groups, aiming to develop innovative technological solutions that contribute to improving productivity and sustainability in the milling industry.
This project involves the active participation of the following companies: Clúster Foodservice, Clúster Digital, AETECH, DRIBIA, and Farinera Coromina.
This project has been funded by the Ministry of Industry and Tourism under the AEI support program, with the aim of improving the competitiveness of the Spanish industry.
