Food & beverage lines benefit from AI at the edge

Remember when you had only a couple of flavours of your favourite snack and mainly the same package size? Well, those times are long gone. Consumer demands have evolved over time making food & beverage (F&B) manufacturers re-think their processes to be more flexible and adaptive to changes in those trends.
