Introducing a portable monitoring platform: AI and photonics for sustainable agri-food
On 24 February, TECNALIA will take part at an event entitled Market Focus: Sustainable Agri-Food, organised by SECPHO. This virtual event will focus on how artificial intelligence, photonics and deep tech technologies are transforming the entire agri-food chain.
- During the event, experts from the technology ecosystem will present success stories and real applications involving advanced sensors, spectral imaging, predictive algorithms and data-driven solutions aimed at improving productivity, reducing environmental impact and increasing the resilience of the agricultural sector.
- These technologies already make it possible to monitor critical parameters, such as soil moisture, nutrients and the presence of pests, using optical sensors and AI models capable of anticipating risks and optimising resources.
Advanced sensor technology for safer, more efficient agriculture
Bergoi Ibarlucea, a TECNALIA researcher in Healthcare Biomaterials, will take part in this webinar. Bergoi will present “A portable platform for monitoring enzyme activity in solid-state fermentation processes”.
- He will give his views on how new sensor and biotechnology techniques are revolutionising process control in the agri-food industry.
- The Biomaterials team is working on developing solutions that will make it possible to carry out fast, accurate, non-invasive analyses and use technologies such as Raman spectroscopy, ultrasound and lab-on-a-chip devices to speed up decision making and improve food safety in the value chain.
- These innovations provide advanced capabilities to the industry for detecting contaminants early, on-site quality control and smart automation, contributing to a more sustainable production model in line with current market requirements.
A key event for driving the transformation of the agri-food sector
SECPhO's Market Focus has become a meeting point for professionals looking to learn about the latest deep tech applications in sectors such as industry 4.0, smart cities and the environment. The aim is to foster collaboration and to show how photonics, sensors and AI are redefining the competitiveness and sustainability of the agri-food sector.
TECNALIA's participation reflects its commitment to developing technological solutions that provide real value to companies, cooperatives and producers, and that make it possible to take decisive steps towards safer, more efficient, sustainable food.
