Selected Projects

Examples of technologies and solutions developed by Foodtech Baltic.

Koji Fermentation of Baltic Fish
Research

Koji Fermentation of Baltic Fish

Development of innovative food products from local low-value fish (Baltic herring, pike, sprat) using Koji solid-state fermentation. Goal: prototype fermented fish snack with improved quality. Funded by ERDF. Period: 2025–2028.

Multi-Channel Inductive Sensor Integration & Real-Time Cloud Gateway (InduSync-8)
IoT

Multi-Channel Inductive Sensor Integration & Real-Time Cloud Gateway (InduSync-8)

This project focuses on the design and implementation of a high-performance microcontroller-based system engineered to acquire and process signals from eight independent induction sensors simultaneously. The system architecture prioritizes low-latency data ingestion and edge-level signal conditioning to ensure high fidelity before transmission. By leveraging integrated networking capabilities, the device establishes a real-time bridge to a centralized database, facilitating immediate data logging and analysis. This solution is ideal for industrial automation, predictive maintenance, and precision motion tracking where synchronized multi-point sensing and instant data availability are critical.
