mills still rely on manual data collection and spreadsheets, which significantly slows decision-making. Integrating data from automated systems and ERP platforms helps shorten this cycle, making decisions faster and more accurate. Modern digital mills now generate millions of data points every minute. AI enables process optimization and yield improvement, monitors grain quality at intake, and allows for more precise blending to ensure consistent flour quality. This reduces the need for expensive high-protein wheat and increases overall production efficiency. AI also serves as both a training and simulation tool. Specialists can test new recipes and process settings virtually, evaluating their impact on flour quality before implementing changes on the mill. At the same time, the system trains staff, enhancing workforce competence. AI implementation extends beyond the mill. It supports full traceability from farm to consumer by integrating data on soil, logistics, storage, and ...
