Intelligent assistance for quality assurance in probiotic manufacturing<\/strong><\/p>\n

The PROBIO-AI<\/strong> project focuses on the nutraceutical<\/strong> manufacturing sector, specifically the production of liquid probiotics at EMLIFE Biotics<\/a>. This industrial field is characterised by highly complex fermentation processes and strict quality requirements that demand constant supervision by highly skilled operators<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The experiment’s primary goal is to address the fragmentation of operational expertise within the production plant<\/strong>, where currently 20% of processes are digitalised, while 60% remain in manual records, and 20% consist of undocumented tacit knowledge. By applying explainable and governed AI<\/strong>, the project seeks to consolidate this expert knowledge into a structured digital base, making it accessible through a digital intelligent assistant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This assistant acts as a support tool that guides operators through microbiological and physicochemical tests via reminders of critical steps and a system that ensures full process traceability and reduces the risk of errors or omissions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Instead of replacing humans, the system empowers them through a human-in-the-loop<\/em><\/strong> model. In this regard, the digital agent provides contextual advice, highlights deviations, and suggests improvements, while final decision-making always remains with the operator<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the technology facilitates the onboarding<\/strong> of new employees at the factory by providing step-by-step guidance on laboratory and production protocols, shortening the learning curve and ensuring adherence to food safety standards. It also promotes cross-functional training<\/strong> by supporting logistics and packaging staff in their transition to production-related roles.<\/p>\n

This digitalisation preserves critical knowledge that might otherwise be lost. Consequently, the project strengthens operational resilience<\/strong> and transforms manufacturing roles into more attractive, efficient, and secure positions.<\/p>\n

Eurecat<\/strong> participates in the project within the DIH4CAT<\/a> framework through its Technology Consulting<\/a> unit, which defines the performance indicators and oversees the project’s AI ethics and governance. The consortium also includes Connecthink<\/a>, responsible for the architecture and explainable AI, and EMLIFE Biotics<\/a>, providing expert knowledge and its production centre for industrial validation.<\/p>\n<\/div>
