Publication number: 20230356236Abstract: A milling system for milling an edible input material into an edible product configuration meeting a product specification includes a plurality of mills arranged in parallel and connected by recycle loops. A measurement system is provided for measuring attributes of the mills and attributes of the edible input material upstream and downstream of the mills. A continuously self-learning control system is provided for performing operations based on a continuously self-learning algorithm. The operations include processing measurement data of the measurement system to control the mills while maximizing particle sizes in the system, and receiving an operator selection identifying the edible input material to be milled and the edible product configuration to be produced by the milling system. The control system initializes and operates the mills based on an initial control model of the milling system associated with the selection, and continuously updates the control model and mill settings.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2022Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: McCormick & Company, Inc.Inventors: Stephen LOMBARDO, Denise FARMER, William CONWAY, Kian Min LIM, Ian DUNCKLEY, Richard CLARIDGE, David RUSSELL
