With digitalization disrupting traditional industries, its impact on food packaging is both profound and inevitable.

Like a 15th century expression, “Children should be seen but not heard,” artificial intelligence (AI) is typically an embedded software technology that operates quietly behind the scenes keeping a production or packaging system running smoothly—and is silent unless something goes out of control and is not easily corrected. Then, the system sounds an alarm, possibly shutting down the process until the problem—which AI has already identified—is remedied by humans. 

AI is a must to improve process quality, save energy and maintain equipment.

The MELSOFT MaiLab was developed to support different application scenarios and can be tailored to individual setups.

How crop data can be used in the food industry to increase quality and maximize output.

The proof-of-value phase will run for six months JBS USA's Hyrum, Utah plant.

The company debuts new technology for the wine sector that involves AI-based sorting and laser spectroscopy for post-bottling quality control.

This tool is designed to capture and save digital images of critical foreign material (FM) contaminants that the sorter detects and rejects from the product stream.
