efficiency rates. Conventional milling machines are manually operated & have no mechanism to responding to process variants (temperature, machine failures, contaminants) that can result in a whole milled batch being ruined. The project aims to develop a novel digital milling processes, supported by AI software platform that will intuitively respond & adapt to potential process failures, reduce milled waste & inject an additional 3MT of high quality rice (worth an additional £1.2bn to regional farming communities) into Chinese food chain p/a. 100% uptake would deliver 40MT (worth £12M p/a).
