• JBT Marel management outlined a shift toward task-specific AI models for food-industry machines, prioritizing reproducibility over generative LLM-style outputs.
• Models are trained on large labeled image sets, then “frozen” in production to prevent behavior changes across a machine’s lifetime.
• AI is positioned as an interpretation layer for sensor data, feeding structured outputs into machine software rather than making final decisions.
• Management cited the VC-i platform, targeting near-100% cloaca detection using a validated dataset of 50,000 images.
• AI deployment will remain selective, with physics or classical algorithms used where sufficient; broader product lines are expected to benefit indirectly.
