The experts, including those from the National Medicinal Plant Board (NMPB) and the Institute of Teaching and Research in Ayurveda (ITRA), were speaking at a two-day national seminar on “Design and Development of Tools for Quality Assessment of Medicinal Plants at Farm Gates” at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi.
In the Agriculture & Food sector, the AI-driven assessment of medicinal plants directly improves crop quality and reduces post-harvest losses. For Logistics & Supply Chain, AI creates a more efficient and transparent system, reducing transportation costs and ensuring product integrity throughout the supply chain.
Businesses involved in the medicinal plant supply chain can leverage AI-powered solutions to automate quality control, improve traceability, and reduce losses due to spoilage or adulteration. Implementing AI vision systems at farm gates could streamline the assessment process, reduce the need for manual inspection, and provide real-time data on product quality. This translates into improved efficiency, reduced operational costs, and enhanced product reliability.
