beyond
the inception
Originally launched in 2016 as a groundbreaking spectroscopy and HSI platform at Cintech Agroalimentaire, a leading food research center in North America, the technology was initially designed to advance quality control and food safety. With the involvement of Food Tech Factory, an innovative venture studio, it has since evolved into beyond, addressing industry needs through the integration of advanced AI, cloud computing, and machine learning capabilities.
This revolutionary platform provides food companies with unprecedented accuracy in detecting contaminants, optimizing production efficiency, and reducing food waste. With applications proven in multiple industries, including meat, poultry, vegetables, fruits, nuts, chocolate and dairy, beyond empowers everyone in the food chain, from producers to distributors, to achieve new standards in food safety and quality.
