Project
Computer design and engineering of biological processes.
The IOF program CADcracker aims to facilitate the interaction and collaboration between researchers and stakeholders in the agrofood chain on innovative computational solutions to understand, design, optimize and control processes and products in the agrofood chain. Computer aided design and engineering (CADE) tools, from numerical simulation to artificial intelligence, are developed and applied for optimizing existing and novel agrofood applications. The research-based approaches improve the understanding of how the biochemistry, physics and quality of the product change as affected by conditions and processing along the supply chain from field to consumer, resulting in innovative solutions. CADcracker thereto initiates and coordinates both strategic and applied research benefiting stakeholders in the agrofood sector.
