Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based computer vision systems are the vital to refining quality control in food processing and manufacturing sector. AI is being increasingly used in the agri-food sector to improve productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. It has the potential to revolutionize the food sector in several ways, including but not limited to precision agriculture, crop monitoring, predictive analytics, supply chain optimization, food processing, quality control, personalized nutrition, and food safety. These systems can investigate food products for defects, contaminants, and adherence to quality standards, confirming product safety and sinking the reliance on manual labor. The integration of AI-powered robots is transforming food processing and manufacturing operations. Robots can accomplish complex tasks such as sorting, packaging, and assembly with speed and precision, resulting in augmented productivity, reduced costs, and heightened product consistency. AI algorithms can evaluate huge amounts of data to optimize supply chain logistics. By predicting demand, managing inventory efficiently, and reshuffling transportation routes, AI in food technology improves operational efficiency, lessens costs and minimizes food waste throughout the supply chain. In view of enhancing food manufacturing with the assistance of AI it is noteworthy that AI technologies have been instrumental in streamlining food production processes. Through machine learning algorithms and automation, food manufacturers can maintain reliable product quality, reduce production costs, and minimize waste. One remarkable application is predictive maintenance, where AI predicts when production equipment is likely to fall, allowing for timely maintenance and thereby reducing downtime and costly repairs. Moreover, the challenges, limitations, and future potentials of AI in the field of food sector are summarized in this editorial as follows
