The aim is to develop sustainable and functional solutions more quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nestl\u00e9 is working with IBM Research to develop new barrier packaging through the use of generative AI and chemical language modelling. The collaboration is focussed on identifying packaging materials that guarantee food safety and quality while being environmentally friendly. The basis for this is a specially trained AI model based on an extensive material database.<\/p>\n<p>At the centre of the research work is a regression model developed by IBM that links molecular structures with physico-chemical properties.

Stefan Palzer, Chief Technology Officer at Nestl\u00e9, said: \u201eThis novel AI-based language model demonstrates how Nestl\u00e9 is driving digital transformation in the food industry.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>IBM also sees great potential: Alessandro Curioni, Vice President of IBM Research Europe &amp; Africa, said: \u201eGenerative AI will disrupt scientific discovery and enable sustainable development.\u201c<\/p>\n<h3>AI and digitalisation in Nestl\u00e9's development strategy<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to packaging solutions, Nestl\u00e9 is already using other AI technologies: an internal recipe optimisation tool helps to balance nutritional value, costs and sustainability. Digital twins of production facilities are also being used to improve processes. Nestl\u00e9 also uses digital tools for humans and animals in the area of personalised nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>A further step is the establishment of a new R&amp;D centre for deep tech. This centre will develop and test sensors, robotics, coding systems, AI applications and virtual and mixed reality. The aim is to increase efficiency in research and innovation.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source:<\/em> Nestl\u00e9<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nestl\u00e9 and IBM are jointly developing AI-based solutions for new, sustainable packaging materials in the food sector.","protected":false},"author":300,"featured_media":104395,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","rank_math_description":"Nestl\u00e9 und IBM entwickeln gemeinsam KI-basierte L\u00f6sungen f\u00fcr neue, nachhaltige Verpackungsmaterialien im Lebensmittelbereich.","rank_math_focus_keyword":"KI","rank_math_title":"","csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[114],"tags":[45188,59913,38,31,32,59448],"class_list":{"0":"post-104391","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-aus-den-unternehmen-news","8":"tag-digitalisierung","9":"tag-kuenstliche-intelligenz","10":"tag-lebensmittel","11":"tag-nachhaltigkeit-und-green-packaging","12":"tag-packmittel-und-packstoffe","13":"tag-verpackung","14":"cs-entry","15":"cs-video-wrap"},"acf":[],"vimeo_video":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104391","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/300"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=104391"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104391\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/104395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=104391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=104391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
