Working on the FreshBox ProjectThe Freshbox project is part of the European Union's LIFE+ programme. The project aims to improve the sustainability of the distribution of fresh produce to create a more competitive sector that can offer better products to the final consumer.Currently, the time span of storage, transportation and distribution of fresh produce from wholesaler to final consumer is exceedingly large. Storage/transportation is performed with standard containers that do not reproduce the ideal conditions of respiration rate of each type of fruit or vegetable. The Fresh Box container will be developed in order to reduce food waste, extend fresh produce shelf life and quality, and reduce fuel/energy consumption.Fresh Box container characteristics: - Active/smart container that stores/transports each type of fresh produce in the ideal conditions of respiration rate - Monitored with an innovative Integrated Sensor Kit to check the main environmental features in the container and allow traceability - Light-weight, manufactured with a technology that saves energy and made of innovative recyclable material - Transports fresh produce harvested at a higher maturity stage: consumers will be able to enjoy fruits and vegetables with better features

College work placement. Assisting senior process engineers.Develop a system in Excel that continuously collects process data from three external data sources. Send the data from Excel to Minitab automatically. Create control charts in Minitab that update automatically to monitor the process.
