ANDRITZ Chile Integrates AI for Pet Food Manufacturing

This shift is a fact at ANDRITZ Feed & Biofuel—we use technologies such as ACE (Advanced Control Expert), which integrates AI to optimize processes, reduce variability, and lower energy consumption.
 

'The premise is clear: advance to more efficient, sustainable, and reliable processes. Thanks to AI, our equipment learns from data record, adjusts critical variables in real time, and makes decisions with no human intervention, ensuring more consistent stability in kibbles while contributing to our global commitment to decarbonization through the motto Growth that Matters,' says Ignacio Oliva, Sales Engineer from the Feed & Biofuel sector at ANDRITZ Chile.
 

To illustrate, the executive affirms that their wide and robust portfolio has many developments, e.g., the 'intelligent copilot'—integrated in the HMI (Human Machine Interface)— that assists the operator with accurate insights depending on the recipes and conditions.
 

'Technology works as a real-time conversational tool able to answer why pressure increases or which parameter needs adjustment, accessing the technical manual from the operation screen,' he adds.
 

According to Oliva, ANDRITZ Chile plans to implement full autonomous process control by 2027-2028. In this way, AI will not only strengthen operational efficiency but also transform the experience of humans in plants, releasing time to do more valuable tasks.
