In Norway, labor is both expensive and difficult to access compared to many competing countries, and a large degree of automation in the production lines is therefore a prerequisite for competitiveness. General technology for automation of production lines, online measurement technology and supercooling is already developed and known. The work of putting this together into efficient, automated production lines with the resulting increased capacity, better utilization of the raw materials and the quality advantages that supercooling and possibly supercooled storage and distribution provide, will, however, lead the fillet industry a large and important step forward. Aker Seafood's facilities will be used as a case in the project, but the project's work and results will guide the rest of the fillet industry. The main project's overall goal is to develop concepts and technology for automated, super-cooled production of fresh fillets that will be implemented in several of Aker Seafood's facilities during the project's lifetime.
The project's efforts will be measured against the following sub-goals:
• Documentation of developed technology for automation of super-chilled fresh fillet production, including quality assurance routines and any online measurement routines.
• Common guidelines for how automated production can be best used for the entire fillet industry
• Documentation of the relative economic benefits of automation, supercooling and online technology in the whitefish industry, both as a consequence of process efficiency but also due to reduced staffing needs and energy efficiency.
• Knowledge exchange and mutual competence building between industry and R&D environment.
