Here at Cornish Essential Oils, we are always "thinking outside the box" to develop greener agricultural systems using new technology & ethical methods. Our vision is to provide tomorrow's market today through a holistic model that combines the use of new technology and traditional methods. We are committed to sustainable development and the environment by protecting the surrounding ecosystems that we work in.The Smart Essential Oil Production System project is part of an integrated development plan designed by Cornish Essential Oils to reach this goal. The facility, situated in Cornwall, will utilize a combination of new technology and renewable energy sources to power an innovative and sustainable approach to essential oil production. _From Seed to Skin_.The grant funding for the project will be used to realise this goal while smoothly integrating it into a bigger ongoing innovative unique development that has been tailored to assist in the push for a restorative and regenerative landscape, whilst maintaining a net or negative carbon impact.The project utilizes smart technologies such as sensors, data analytics, and automation to optimize production processes, reducing waste and energy consumption while maximizing efficiency to meet the overall goal of reducing the carbon footprint of the end product. Not only will this help the UK meet the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly natural products, it will also provide us with a competitive advantage in the marketplace.Traditional processes of producing essential oils are labour intensive and often resource-intensive which has a significant impact on the environment. For example, the distillation process requires significant amounts of water and consumes large amounts of energy that produce greenhouse gas emissions.Several components of this integrated system have already been put in place by Cornish Essential Oils including: The Introduction of Innovative Farming Practices using Robotic platforms; Installation of Renewable Energy Sources; Local Sourcing of both raw materials and innovative technology. However, this final component The Integrated Smart Essential Oil Production System is yet to be realised.The Integrated Smart Essential Oil Production System project is an exciting development. The project aims to transform the traditional, labor-intensive, and time-consuming essential oil production process into a more efficient, automated, and high-quality low carbon footprint process. The project has the potential to create new opportunities for a number of sectors while improving the health and wellbeing of consumers, at the same time promoting sustainability, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship.

在康沃尔精油，我们总是“思考开箱即用”，以使用新技术和道德方法开发更绿色的农业系统。我们的愿景是通过合并新技术和传统方法的整体模型来提供明天的市场。我们致力于通过保护我们工作的周围生态系统来实现可持续发展和环境。智能精油生产系统项目是康沃尔精油设计的综合开发计划的一部分，以实现这一目标。该设施位于康沃尔郡，将利用新技术和可再生能源的组合来为精油生产的创新和可持续的方法提供动力。 _从种子到皮肤。效率可以满足减少最终产品碳足迹的总体目标。这不仅有助于英国满足对可持续和环保天然产品的不断增长的需求，而且还将为我们提供市场上的竞争优势。生产精油的传统过程是劳动力密集的，通常是资源密集型的，对环境产生了重大影响。例如，蒸馏过程需要大量的水，并消耗大量产生温室气体排放的能源。康沃尔精油已经建立了这种综合系统的几个组件，包括：使用机器人平台引入创新的农业实践；可再生能源的安装；原材料和创新技术的本地采购。但是，这一最终组成部分尚未实现整合的智能精油生产系统。综合智能精油生产系统项目是令人兴奋的发展。该项目旨在将传统，劳动力且耗时的精油生产过程转变为更高效，自动化和高质量的低碳足迹过程。该项目有可能为许多部门创造新的机会，同时改善消费者的健康和福祉，同时促进可持续性，社会责任和环境管理。
