Description (French)
Toronto Fresh Food (TFF) développe un système intelligent de contrôle de la qualité et de prévision de la durée de conservation basé sur l’IA afin d’améliorer l’efficacité de la transformation de la viande et la sécurité alimentaire. Grâce à la vision par ordinateur, à l’apprentissage automatique et aux capteurs IdO, le projet permettra la détection des défauts en temps réel, la modélisation prédictive de la durée de conservation et l’optimisation automatisée du traitement. Cette innovation vise à réduire les déchets, à améliorer la qualité des aliments et à renforcer la conformité réglementaire. Soutenue par le financement du PARI, l’initiative de TFF renforcera le secteur canadien de la fabrication alimentaire en faisant progresser l’automatisation basée sur l’IA et les technologies de surveillance intelligente.
