Advances in machine learning are enabling processors to collect real-time insights from their production lines. For example, PPO is using machine learning to detect subtle spectral differences in pork products—analyzing details that manual methods simply can't catch. The experts at PPO train different machine learning models for each application, and multiple applications can operate simultaneously without sacrificing overall performance. To put this into perspective, let’s look at an example of a line processing pork trim. One machine learning model can look for blue liner, while another model measures fat and protein content, and additional models seek out different types of foreign material. Let's take at a pork trim processing line: one model detects blue liners, another measures fat and protein content, while others identify foreign materials. Layering the machine learning models like this creates an incredibly flexible solution that simultaneously analyzes the data for all of these metrics. By layering these models, we create a flexible solution that analyzes all key metrics at once. How are you leveraging data to drive better decisions at your plant?

Would you be able to find the hole in your glove? At a fresh pork processing plant, a line operator noticed a hole in one of the green rubber gloves she had put on that morning. After replacing the glove, she went back to the line. Just minutes later, she returned to the office excited—PPO’s Smart Imaging System had detected the missing piece of her glove. A quick comparison showed an exact match between the glove and the foreign material. How are you identifying foreign materials at your plant?
