How Artificial Intelligence Can Transform Food Industry

Tue, 13 Apr 2021

People can hear a lot about AI today because there’s no dearth of stories in this room. Most fundamentally, AI inventions are deserving of praise and are likely to offer. Although there is no end to the technology’s growth and potential, AI is testing human wisdom.

For this technology, the playground is huge and experts from every corner of the world are trying to find the use of this technology in different streams. While it can cure human misery and provide a simple and easy life, several industries encourage its use from medicine to food.

THE RISE OF AI IN FOOD INDUSTRY

Since its uses have been explored by various business verticals, a step has been taken by the food industry towards this. This industry embraces AI to gain an edge dynamic of many factors that make a food product a success. Also, artificial intelligence is developing a series of smart mobile applications.

The fact is, food product development is a very lengthy process. With the help of AI, huge datasets of detailed agricultural information can be used and processed more quickly. Altogether, machine learning can also be applied to create numerous great recipes around flavor and nutrition. Also, this technology can help meet increasing worldwide food demand. This technology can also help analyze the growth, production, data on consumption, and distribution.

AI and machine learning can all be applied in hundreds of business variables which can boost food supply stability.

SORTING FOOD

Food processing is one of this industry’s most time-consuming and challenging processes though product freshness is also a critical factor. There are many other measures for sorting. Also, with this technology, it is possible to sort out off-color tomatoes, which will help the retailer or consumer to decrease their rejection. Also, all foreign matters need to be sorted out.

CLEANING OF PROCESSING EQUIPMENT

Careful cleaning of equipment is essential to assure better hygiene. In equipment cleaning, the advanced process can be very helpful. It is now called as Self-Optimizing-Clean-In-Place or SOCIP. This is based on ultrasonic sensing and optical fluorescence imaging to provide the measurement of food residue, microbial debris in a piece of equipment. After this, the optimization of the cleaning process will also continue, itself.

ENHANCING THE SUPPLY CHAIN

AI may also improve supply chain management and this technology is used by several business verticals to manage their supplies. Another boosting aspect is the strictness imposed on their operations by food safety regulatory authorities, due to which businesses must be more transparent. This system also helps to check and track food safety goods in industries across all phases of the supply chain. It helps every phase from the creation of precise forecasts to the management of prices and inventories. It provides great transparency, as it allows end-to-end tracking from farm to consumer.

 

The food industry is the subject of numbers of AI analysis. Such projects have included forecasting food demand, food safety effects, assessing food quality, and more. Whilst the use of this technology on the market is also increasing.
