Machine learning and automation are becoming increasingly common topics in grain operations, but what do they actually mean in practice? This webinar provides a practical introduction to machine learning and automation through the lens of grain handling operations. Attendees will gain a better understanding of how these technologies work, where they are being applied today, and the potential impacts on safety, workforce utilization, and operational efficiency. 

Key Takeaways:

• Machine Learning Fundamentals 
  Understanding what machine learning is, how it differs from traditional automation, and why it is becoming an important topic in grain handling. 
• Vision Systems, Sensors, and Safety 
  Exploring how machine learning, cameras, and sensors work together to support operational awareness, consistency, and safety. 
• Automation’s Role in Grain Operations 
  Examining current examples of automation in grain handling and bulk loading applications and where the technology is being utilized today. 
• Workforce Impacts and Labor Considerations 
  Discussing how facilities are using automation to address labor challenges, reduce exposure to hazardous tasks, and support workforce effectiveness. 
• Implementation Considerations and Operational Realities
  Evaluating common challenges, limitations, and factors that influence whether automation is a practical fit for a facility’s goals and operations.
