How AI is Enhancing Food Distribution in The U.S.
The use of technologies is also changing how we consume, distribute, and even produce our food. More than 20 artificial intelligence and digital platforms are being used directly in the U.S. by grocers, distributors, farmers, consumers, and retailers of foods.
What is AI on the farm?
AI has great power over the food supply chain. It can impact from the soil up to the profits. Machine learning or ML and AI can optimize and monitor irrigation, track the development of crops, and detect soil conditions. It can harvest and evaluate the traditional hand-harvest crops. It can also project the future of the growing crops.
AI can improve efficiency and effectiveness in preventing crop yield loss and farm management.
It can enhance the safety and quality of the food
There are reports made in the farm-to-table and global food chain sector that they have received high-profile cases due to foodborne illness. In this area, AI can help the food supply chain, and it is one of the reasons many use AI when it comes to beverage and food distribution.
If we are now in the 21st century, several food industries still require a large amount of manual labor for distributing, packaging, harvesting, planting, and processing. However, adopting AI into the food industry can significantly affect the safety of each food being distributed.
Upgrades the traceability and tracking
Foodborne illness, product spoilage, and other kinds of food-related issues are always a significant consideration for the food and beverage distribution around the U.S. Therefore; every food company must know the whereabouts and complete path of the foods or products they deliver.
If they use AI, any food and beverage companies can control the tracking and tracing of their products. They can also use every information to identify and respond. For example, if you also have products that require a specific temperature, you can also use an AI-enable sensor so it can send you an alert before it gets spoiled during the shipment.
Whatever the problems are will be easily tracked and traced from where they started, and you can quickly solve the problem with the help of AI.
It can lessen the cost in the supply chain
The food and beverage industry can effectively upgrade its safety, quality, and services to improve its efficiency. In exchange, any company can reduce their costs in operation and their total supply chain and gain more profit for their company. For instance, every piece of equipment for food processing will require upkeeps and regular maintenance.
With the help of AI, you can quickly know when you need to have a repair for a particular machine. As a result, AI can help any food and beverage company improve their equipment’s uptime and minimize the loss of their materials. For this reason, any food and beverage company can reduce costs.
It can identify any situation that is out of your control
One of the main reasons many food and beverage companies are using AI is that it can predict the product or process whenever a product is going to be “out of control” or not in the predefined compliance/tolerance level. In addition, AI can allow companies to capture any information about the process of their products.
Companies then can use advanced technology to check these situations, processes, and supplies in real-time. It simply means that any food distributor or manufacturer doesn’t have to wait for a report from a customer. AI can identify these issues even if the tractor-trailer is still driving the products and its required operating temperature exceeds.
You can integrate it with another technology
If you want your AI to be more effective, you can integrate other advanced technology, such as loT, information-rich databases, and ML. Predicting the possible events that might happen with the product and providing solutions to these problems are now much easier with the help of these advanced technologies.
Bottom Line
A lot of food and beverage companies know how helpful AI is to their businesses. However, several companies still don’t know about AI and how they can start using this technology.
That is why you need to ask for the appropriate help from the right people. A NetSuite partner help every business owner by providing solutions for their business’s problems.
