SwRI: Methods of physical measurement and monitoring

Perhaps one of the most challenging of process industries is the production of food. With the delicate balances maintained between production volume, flavor and texture, and governmental regulations, very tight control must be maintained over most food processes. Standard techniques used in nonfood applications may not be feasible in this area.


Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) offers the food producer an unmatched wealth of expertise in various methods of physical measurement and monitoring and a practical knowledge of how to implement these methods from the most basic to the most unusual.


Some of SwRI's past work in these areas include:
