Daten-Import in FoodChain-Lab mit All-in-one template

Tasks

  • In this tutorial we’ll show you how to import delivery data to FoodChain-Lab via our All-in-one Excel template.
  • All data will be entered in one file.
  • The All-in-one template can be download from here: https://github.com/SiLeBAT/BfROpenLa…
  • If you do not want to fill the template yourself, you can download the filled out result of this tutorial from here: https://github.com/SiLeBAT/BfROpenLa…
1
  • Open “All_In_One_Template.xlsx” and select the Stations sheet.
  • Here you must enter all stations of the delivery network.
  • The Company_ID column is mandatory, all other columns are optional.
  • Next to Additional Fields you can specify your own columns, for which you would like to enter data.

2
  • Now select the Deliveries sheet.
  • Here you must enter all deliveries between the stations defined in the previous sheet.
  • The columns with the red headers are mandatory. In Station and Recipient you must enter Company_IDs from the previous sheet.
  • Next to Additional Fields you can specify your own columns, for which you would like to enter data.

3
  • Now select the Deliveries2Deliveries sheet.
  • Here you can connect two deliveries from the previous sheet. In both columns you must enter DeliveryIDs.
  • The From-delivery is a part/ingredient of the To-delivery. A contamination can spread from “From” to “To“.

4
  • Switch back to the Stations sheet and enter the data from the screenshot.

5
  • Switch to the Deliveries sheet and enter the data from the screenshot.
  • The “Yogurt Factory” produces two lots of yogurt. Milk from delivery “L117_1” is used for the first lot (“LY1”) and milk from deliveries “L117_2” and “L14_1” is used for the second lot (“LY2”). This ingredient information will be entered in the next sheet.

6
  • In this sheet you can only reference deliveries and not lots.
  • Therefore we have to connect “L117_1” to both deliveries of lot “LY1” (“LY1_1” and “LY1_2”).
  • And “L117_2” and “L14_1” have to be connected to both deliveries of lot “LY2” (“LY2_1” and “LY2_2”).

7
  • After entering all data in the template, please open KNIME now.
  • Then select Food-Lab > Open DB Gui… in the menu bar to open the database interface.

  • To import this file click on the Table import button in the upper left corner of the database interface.

  • You’ll see a message that the import was successful.
  • Press OK.

11
  • In the database interface you’ll notice, that there is now data in the tables.
