Opinion: AI’s role in revolutionising food and beverage manufacturing
In the aftermath of the Covid-19 outbreak, the food manufacturing sector encounters significant challenges, including the successful integration of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). Despite professionals’ optimism about its capacity to enhance processes like quality control and production efficiency, many are hesitant to fully adopt AI due to uncertainties about whether it will pay off in the long run. Saar Yoskovitz, CEO of Augury, explores the current state of AI integration in the F&B sector.
The Covid-19 outbreak happened almost four years ago, and with it, the food supply chain slowed almost to a halt. This put more pressure on manufacturers but also prompted calls on governments to help bring things back to normal. Spiralling global inflation didn’t make it any easier for them, as calls for leaders to intervene only increased.
