　On February 14, 2022, Ruckland began recruiting pilot -introduced companies for the AI (artificial intelligence) solution "AI Selector" for mass estimation of scallops.It also contributes to the efficiency of scallop packing work and improving the quality of the product.The fee is about 70,000 to 80,000 yen per month (excluding tax) in a subscription format.AI Selector Work Flow [Click to enlarge] Source: Ruckland

Efficiency of scallop packing work

　The AI ​​Selector is a solution that streamlines packing work, especially among the scallops, the stallered body processing process, "Packing", and "Shipping preparation". It consists of a dedicated housing equipped with a camera and an AI system that performs the image analyzed. Since scallops have different sizes and weights depending on the individual, in order to match the weight per pack, it is necessary to determine the approximate weight from the feeling of touching the scallops, and to accurately and quickly pack the pack. It would be difficult to respond unless a veteran with work experience was difficult, but there were also technical succession issues, such as taking time to develop new workers, and labor productivity was not improving. The AI ​​selector will be able to work quickly for new workers by AI instructing scallops that should be packed in the pack. First, put about 20 scallops in the housing. A camera is set in the housing, and AI instantly estimates the mass of scallops from the image taken. Then, if you measure the pack filled with scallops until just before it is full, AI instantly proposes scallops that should be included in the remaining space. The scallops to be packed are color -coded on the display, making it visually easy to understand. A ruckland group company, a hybrid lab that handles fisheries processing, conducted a demonstration experiment with AI selectors. It is said that it is possible. The effect of reducing the number of times the worker touched scallops was confirmed as the work time was shortened. In the past, it was about 20 % more than the required number of contacts in the past due to the re -selection of scallops, but the introduction of the AI ​​selector has increased the extra number of excess contacts. It can be expected to improve quality by reducing the number of contacts to food. Mr. Tsuyoshi Ishibashi, President of Hybrid Lab, said, "There was a problem in processing fresh food like scallops," it is difficult to mechanize large -scale "and" it is tough without veteran experience. " It is absolutely necessary to work manually to process it. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of the work, it was necessary to save workers' judgments. With the AI ​​selector, even a part -time job that has just been adopted is packed immediately. You will be able to participate in the work. " In addition, Keiichiro Mochizuki, President and CEO of Ruckland, said, "We have provided solutions for the construction industry as a labor -intensive industry so far, but there was no one for fishery processing industries. Through development, I felt that there were not a few industries that had unique technology but were anxious about the future due to the aging of technology, and I would like to continue to solve these common issues in the future.
