Sharif 016-7725212 One of the products is Wire-Cut Cookie Machine Model 1.0 has been commercialized to the market. The machine is fully mechanical without no programmable logic controller (PLC) to minimize the errors. The problem with fully mechanical machineries is that, it is difficult for the elderly to handle the machine and errors could not be minimized and eliminated during the production of the cookies. This problem leads to the increased in time required to produce the cookies for larger scale market. Technological solution for this problem would be to design and develop a PLC program into their wire-cut cookie machine to create a new model to be commercialized for the use of larger industries.

The equipment and machinery used to produce this noodle is made from China and there are no spare parts available. Parts of the machine are made from non-corrosion resistant materials. This means that the noodles produced are exposed to rust in the machine component. The noodles turn into brown color due to rust that is stuck on the noodles when the machine operates. This situation has ruined the quality of the noodles production. Another example is that the rollers from the machine are made from non-rust resistant material. The rollers have turned to black as a result of the reaction of water and air. Noodles are dried using a traditional method; it takes between 6 to 8 hours or even longer depending on the weather condition. Every single strand of noodles needs to be in fully dry condition. Wet noodles will only lead to other problems such as microbial contamination due to moisture, undesirable quality of final product and losses in production where it need to be disposed. An alternative method or device is needed to improvise and quicken the process of drying noodles, help to reduce production cost in terms of time and energy. Food Tech 8.30am

28 KFM UTAMA ENTERPRISE Nazoha Hashim 019-7040708 Currently, this company uses a weighing machine before they package the products.

Rahim Selamat 019-7979372 This company breeds quail eggs and quail meat. There are about 5 to 6 thousand breeded quails. The number of eggs the quails produce in one day is 1,500 pcs and the number of breeding meat the quail produces in one day is 200 grains. The total number of quail eggs brooded for a week is 1,400 eggs. The existing machine can only incubate 700 to 800 quail eggs, which is only 60% of the eggs from 1,400 quails eggs successfully hatched. Therefore, the company needs a quail egg hatching device/ incubator that can increase the percentage of hatching quail eggs. The device/ incubator should maintain the temperature for newly hatched birds, while also able to save the energy used during the incubation process. The device can also help boost the percentage of hatching quail eggs. 5.00pm
32 RAMUN FOOD INDUSTRIES (M) SDN BHD Encik Mahadir Sabtu 07-6622445 019-7561323 ramunfoodindustries@gmail.com The company produces various types of biscuits with different shapes. One of the problems is that the existing mold only produces one shape of biscuit while the production of biscuits is available in many forms. New mold parts and components should be designed and installed to mesh with the machine. The existing machine has three parts and one part of the machine does not work directly to support the production of biscuits. The current ordering/purchasing system should be upgraded to a more appropriate system to be run online. The high demand of the product has been overwhelming from within and outside the country. However, the limitations of the current system make it difficult to provide and sell the products to customers who are farther away.
