IDS Vision Channel: Free web session on "Smart Farming" on 31 May

"The Future of Farming and Food Processing - AI in Food- and Farm-Automation"

Image processing can be used to accelerate, control and optimise processes. When artificial intelligence comes into play, the range of possible applications becomes even wider. This is especially true for agriculture and the food industry, as highly varying objects and processes are difficult to control with hard-coded machine vision applications. What does this mean in concrete terms and which solutions prove themselves in practice? This is the topic of the next event of the IDS Vision Channel. The one-hour event on 31 May will also feature two guest speakers.

Strelen Control Systems GmbH has developed a way to detect nuts and separate them from unwanted by-products and foreign objects. The system is even able to detect quality defects in products - for example mould, drying or residues on the surface. In the IDS Vision Channel, the company explains how this works and how users benefit from it.

Genie Enterprises presents the trends and possible uses of data, sensors, cameras and artificial intelligence in the field of smart farming with practical examples. The company looks at scenarios that can already be used as well as areas where research is currently underway: from cameras to monitor the health of vines to an artificial nose for wine aromas to optimise crop protection.

IDS will familiarise the audience with the capabilities of the IDS NXT AI system, with a particular focus on why artificial intelligence is useful in dealing with highly variable products and how the technology can be used when the user has no prior knowledge of deep learning or camera programming.

Registration for the session "The Future of Farming and Food Processing - AI in Food- and Farm-Automation" is free of charge and takes place via the IDS Vision Channel. The presentations will be in English, discussions and Q&A will be moderated in both German and English.
