Topic 1:
Refrigerated containers enable long-distance transport of fruit. The challenge is to have an air circulation inside the container which maintains the correct temperature throughout the container to keep the fruit quality high and thereby reduce food waste. Sioux Mathware developed a model to predict the airflow and temperature inside a refrigerated container with pineapples.
Topic 2:
Nowadays when you take a picture with your smartphone, it directly creates a digital file which you can share. In the past they used film strips and now a customer wants to digitize millions of images from these film strips. Due to the large quantity of images, the main focus was to create a fast method. Sioux Mathware created a set of algorithms to be able to extract the main pictures from the film strips and add labels to them.
