EP93: Adopting AI and Vision Inspection In Production Lines
Providing high-quality bakery products is essential for successful bakery operations. However, traditional, rule-based methods for quality assurance (https://bakerpedia.com/food-safety/quality-assurance/) can be time-consuming and have become more difficult with current labor shortages. Vision inspection is an alternative that has been on the market for decades, used initially for final inspection and packaging. Nonetheless, in recent years, its capabilities have evolved with the latest technological advances, including artificial intelligence.
In this episode of BAKED in Science, host Mark Floerke is joined by Yuegang Zhao, Chief Commercial Officer at KPM Analytics to discuss vision inspection, artificial intelligence, and how they can be used to improve quality control in bakeries. KPM Analytics (https://bakerpedia.com/kpm-analytics/) supplies instruments that measure critical quality parameters of incoming ingredients, analyze products during the baking process, and ensure final product quality. Their comprehensive range of analyzers are used by food producers throughout their production to improve efficiency, ensure quality and protect their brand.
Futuristic Tools for Quality Control
As they discuss vision inspection systems, some topics covered include:
The evolution of vision inspection systems
How vision inspection can help address labor shortages
Managing waste while integrating new technologies
Utilizing data to improve a line’s yield
Strategies for implementing vision inspection
Opportunities to produce higher quality products at lower costs
