AI on the bakery floor: from science fiction to shift-ready
At iba 2025, AMF Bakery Systems rolled out STAQ — See, Think and Act in Quality. Line-mounted cameras grade every piece in real time, flag defects, and track the trend. The moment quality starts to drift, STAQ alerts the operator before scrap rates climb.
Royal Kaak has gone a different route, wiring generative AI directly into line analytics. The system converts raw sensor data into plain-language recommendations — no analytics background required on the operator's side.
Demand forecasting. Algorithms crunch sales history, weather, and local events to forecast daily bake volume. Less overproduction means less write-off at the end of the day.
Predictive maintenance. MECATHERM's M-Care monitors for equipment anomalies and flags failures before they take a line down.
Recipe optimization. AI models tune processing parameters for each flour lot, balancing rheology, crumb structure, and sensory targets.
AI needs a foundation to run on — equipment with sensors and digital control. The practical first move is upgrading to machines with electronic panels and parameter logging.
