Summary

With the project, we want to explore from the needs and challenges of food companies how AI can or cannot add value and how machine builders, technology providers and food companies can successfully collaborate to enable future AI projects. It is a collective research, development and dissemination project (type COOCK) in which we disseminate the knowledge we build within the broad target group.

With the developed results, we want to lower the threshold to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation and verify that AI is indeed the best solution. The AI maturity scan enables you as a food company to see what level you are at today. In addition, the insights from the proof-of concepts and the demo case in VEG-i-TEC reflect what food companies need so that machine builders and technology providers can better align their products and services. In parallel with the project, you can always contact us to develop an idea with us.

We aim to achieve the following:

  • Developing an AI maturity scan and generic roadmap for AI implementation tailored to food companies
  • Setting up proof-of-concepts illustrating the applicability of AI in the food industry
  • Developing a demo case in the pilot plant for the potato and vegetable sector, VEG-i-TEC in which we:
    • Document insights on the approach to the AI case
    • Show obstacles in the trail, from which stakeholders can learn
