Aljouf Agricultural Development Company (JADCO), one of Saudi Arabia’s leading agri-industrial producers, has entered into a strategic partnership with Polysense, a Belgian technology firm specializing in AI and hardware systems for quality inspection and process optimization. The agreement marks a major milestone in JADCO’s digital transformation roadmap and reinforces its commitment to adopting advanced technologies across its operations.
Under the partnership, Polysense will implement Polysense Qualify, an in-line, vision-based quality control system that measures length distribution and quantifies surface defect levels on French fries at production speed. The system provides automated inspection with objective, repeatable results and actionable insights for the quality control team, reducing manual sampling and transforming QC into a more automated, data-driven workflow.
At the Aljouf facility, the implementation of Polysense Qualify will deliver significant value across the production line. Automated, real-time measurement ensures precise and repeatable inspection for every fry, removing the subjectivity of manual checks and supporting consistent product quality in each batch. AI-driven insights provide early detection of process drift and raw material variation, enabling faster, data-based decisions that reduce downtime.
With rapid defect detection improving efficiency, throughput, and first-pass yield, the system also strengthens traceability by time-stamping all results and linking them to batch and SKU data (product identification) for full audit readiness. Ultimately, this enhanced control and reliability reinforce customer confidence and strengthen brand trust.
For JADCO, this deployment supports its goal to improve product quality, reduce waste, and enable data-driven decision-making. For Polysense, the partnership represents a significant step in its global expansion, establishing its first major presence in Saudi Arabia.
Yarne De Munck, CEO of Polysense, commented:
“We are proud to partner with JADCO on this project. The team’s commitment to quality and sustainability is impressive. For Polysense, this partnership is an important milestone as we expand our technology into the Middle East.”
This collaboration reinforces JADCO’s position as a forward-looking agri-industrial leader in Saudi Arabia and advances Polysense’s mission to deliver AI-driven quality control and process optimization solutions to food manufacturers worldwide.
