项目摘要

Wayward Distillery in Courtenay, BC, is one of the many alcohol distillers across Canada who have pivoted operations to serve the demand for hand sanitizer production during the COVID-19 crisis. In recent weeks, the growth in demand has been exponential and the production of hand sanitizer is now the primary activity of the distillery. While Wayward has been able to scale up the production of hand sanitizer, the filling and packaging components of the production process are more challenging to scale, given current equipment and expertise, and the global demand to purchase similar production equipment. A partnership with North Island College's Industrial Automation program will provide Wayward with expertise and the support of faculty and student research assistants to develop a customized bottling line that will meet the needs of the current increase in production and will also enable the line to be re-purposed at a later date to serve the regular operational needs of producing quality spirits. As Canadians consider how to return to work in a safe way, cleaning and sanitation regimes will be an important element of return-to-work protocols. This project will contribute directly to the safety of Canadians as we enter a prolonged period of pandemic living.

位于不列颠哥伦比亚省考特尼的 Wayward Distillery 是加拿大各地众多酒精蒸馏厂之一，这些蒸馏厂在 COVID-19 危机期间将业务转向满足洗手液生产的需求。最近几周，需求呈指数级增长，洗手液的生产现在是酿酒厂的主要业务。虽然 Wayward 已经能够扩大洗手液的生产规模，但鉴于当前的设备和专业知识以及全球购买类似生产设备的需求，生产过程中的灌装和包装部分更具挑战性。与北岛学院工业自动化项目的合作将为 Wayward 提供专业知识以及教师和学生研究助理的支持，以开发定制的装瓶生产线，以满足当前产量增长的需求，并使该生产线能够重新设计。旨在稍后满足生产优质烈酒的常规运营需求。当加拿大人考虑如何以安全的方式重返工作岗位时，清洁和卫生制度将成为重返工作岗位协议的重要组成部分。随着我们进入长期的大流行生活时期，该项目将直接为加拿大人的安全做出贡献。
