1 On the field
Our PURE project (Prevent, Uncover, Reduce, and Eliminate foreign
bodies), preventing foreign bodies in our final products, starts by
eliminating them in the field. Before harvest, an agronomist conducts
a thorough inspection to ensure optimal field maturity and appropriate
product quality before authorising the release of the field. This field
release is done based on a traffic light principle to avoid receiving
products in the factory that are not acceptable and to anticipate
extra measures to avoid rework. The real-time “Field release” report
is accessible through Agreo, our agro-IT platform, enabling the quality
and production departments to assess whether any additional actions
are needed during the production process.
At some of our sites, we implement the use of drones together with
artificial intelligence to inspect our fields for contaminants, such as
foreign objects or toxic weeds. After image processing, a map is
generated and transmitted to a designated individual responsible for
removing the contaminants before the harvest machines collect the
products. A final report is then sent to the farmer.
