TraceGains recently launched its Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) offering, an AI-driven solution for material compliance and lot-level ingredient quality control. The objective of IDP is to streamline Certificate of Analysis (COA) processing for the company’s network of 90,000 global supplier locations and over 600,000 ingredients and products.
IDP was built on OpenAI’s foundation model, and was trained and validated against global food and beverage COAs. Paul Bradley, senior director of product marketing, TraceGains, said COAs pose a challenge given they are critical for ensuring that the product reaching a manufacturer’s facility is safe, free of contaminants and in line with specs.
“Traditionally, however, COAs can appear in a variety of nonstandard and confusing formats, making it cumbersome and time-consuming for brands to ensure that received product is appropriate for use,” said Bradley.
“TraceGains currently has the market leading product for automated COA data extraction in the food and beverage industry using older extraction technologies, and we have a very deep understanding of COA processing and the needs of customers in this space (which goes far beyond data extraction). With the addition of our advanced AI capabilities, we can help brands extract nonstandard data from COA formats and automate the comparison to specifications, flagging potential issues, and saving brands time and money while reducing risk.”
