Grants and Contributions

This project represents an initial phase of a broader program to develop a scalable AI-driven sensing and analytics platform for food processing. This phase focuses on building modular machine learning components and data integration frameworks that can be reused across multiple applications rather than developed as one-off solutions.

This project will evaluate how Canadian-developed AI and machine vision food quality technologies can support defence-sector supply chains. Activities include engagement with DND and related stakeholders, analysis of procurement requirements, and development of a roadmap aligning existing food inspection technologies with defence food safety standards. The initiative strengthens Canadian innovation capacity and enhances domestic resilience in critical food supply infrastructure.

This International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project will prepare the firm to enter into future international co-innovation work in Germany.

The project involves analyzing cost drivers, implementing data lifecycle policies to minimize waste, and optimizing storage accessibility for Research and Development machine learning workflows and client support.

Alooki Technology is developing an advanced AI/ML-based inspection system to automatically detect quality and safety defects in white fish fillets, such as nematodes, blood spots, and bones. Designed for real-time operation on high-speed processing lines, the system will improve food safety, reduce product waste, and support automation across seafood production. The solution is adaptable to both cod and pollock and aims to strengthen the competitiveness of Canadian seafood processors through innovative, non-invasive quality control.

The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.

This new hire will assist with data collection, machine learning model development, Python-based system integration, and dashboard implementation. They will start with foundational tasks and progressively take on more responsibilities, gaining hands-on experience in software development, data processing, and real-time automation.
