Agriculture and machine learning

Today’s agriculture industry is under pressure to deliver more crops, milk, and livestock to feed a growing world population.

Tracking responsible animal conditions in protein farming

The demand for finished products or “cuts” will never equate exactly to what is available from a cow, pig, lamb, chicken, turkey or fish carcass, each cut has its own profit margin and production costs. Optimal cuts and maximum yield is key for profitability while consumers demand transparency of the origin and evidence of animal wellbeing, free range, GMO-free, sustainability and other claims.

Customer success

Quality control in dairy production

Fat, protein and lactose contents of the milk received from the farms determine the milk price and yield. Sustainability is a big theme in this sector, impacting raw milk volumes and margins. Many dairies are cooperatives looking for ways to improve margins for their members by innovating the assortment and finding new markets.

Customer success

Streamlining bakery production from order to delivery

Having fresh-baked products on the shelf every day is critical for most baked goods manufacturers. Demand varies by day of the week and season, and ingredient prices and certifications can vary significantly impacting margins and potentially the specification of the product.
