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.

不列颠哥伦比亚省考特尼（Courtenay）的Wiithward Distillery是加拿大各地众多酒精酿酒厂之一，他们在Covid-19危机期间对手动消毒剂的需求进行了枢纽。最近几周，需求的增长呈指数呈指数，而洗手液的生产现在是酿酒厂的主要活动。尽管Withward能够扩大手工消毒剂的生产，但鉴于当前的设备和专业知识以及购买类似生产设备的全球需求，生产过程的填充和包装组件的扩展更具挑战性。与北岛学院的工业自动化计划的合作伙伴关系将为任性提供专业知识，并得到教师和学生研究助理的支持，以开发定制的瓶装系列，该瓶装线将满足当前生产的需求，还将使该系列能够在以后重新使用，以满足定期生产优质精神的常规运营需求。正如加拿大人考虑如何以安全的方式恢复工作的那样，清洁和卫生制度将是重返工作协议的重要组成部分。当我们进入大流行时期时，该项目将直接为加拿大人的安全做出贡献。
