Industrial AI for gourmet croquette and appetizer plants
A gourmet croquette and appetizer plant running dozens of SKUs, selling across multiple channels (online store, HORECA, large retail) and holding a food-safety certification lives with one constant challenge: keeping every batch, every allergen and every audit traceable without anyone having to chase down paper or a loose spreadsheet.
The 12 cases on this page show how IRIS — iLEAN's industrial AI category — captures what gets lost today (photos, voice, email, spreadsheets), watches the line with computer vision at the critical points, and organizes evidence for audits, always with a human validating before data enters the system. Browse the cases grouped by iLEAN piece: Connect (capture and ERP integration), Edge (in-line vision) and Agents (coordination and evidence).
