QING Food Automation, Arnhem
QING Food Automation is a specialist in AI-driven automation for the food industry. It combines robotics, Vision AI, data, simulation to deliver scalable solutions for quality control, sorting and food processing.
Process & Engagement
QING works with food producers, machine builders and technology partners to develop and test automation solutions. In its Development Lab, new concepts can be explored and validated before implementation in an industrial production environment.
Success Story
Together with a machine builder, QING applied AI and 3D vision to automate the processing of iceberg lettuce. By recognising the position and orientation of each product, the system reduced unnecessary cutting and achieved up to 90% less product waste.
Impact & Results
QING helps companies translate developments in AI and robotics into practical food production applications. Testing and iterative development reduce implementation risks while improving efficiency, product quality and the ability to automate variable food products.
Challenges & Lessons
Food products vary in shape, size and quality, making automation more complex than in many other industries. QING demonstrates the importance of combining AI and robotics with food process knowledge, practical testing and a clear business case.
Looking Ahead
QING is further developing scalable automation technologies that combine Vision AI, robotics and data intelligence, while expanding collaboration with food companies, machine builders and technology partners in the Netherlands and internationally.
Key Message
QING helps turn AI and robotics into practical and scalable food automation by combining technology development, testing and industrial implementation.
