Bogota, Colombia and Tel Aviv, Israel, August 4th, 2021 – Demetria<\/a>, the first AI-powered taste and quality intelligence SaaS startup for the coffee supply chain, today unveils a working application that identifies the successful reproduction of high-value coffee seedlings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demetria has entered into a commercial agreement with Nespresso to deploy this solution having conducted a pilot, enabling the coffee brand to enhance operational capacity and efficiency by providing high-quality coffee plants to farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spearheading the transformation of the coffee industry, Demetria empowers producers and roasters with first-of-its-kind insights utilizing near infra-red sensor technology and AI-driven data intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company is launching a suite of SaaS-based solutions to deliver taste assessment and profiling of green coffee beans as well as swift, accurate quality measurement and traceability throughout the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of Nespresso\u2019s work to bring high-quality sustainable coffee to its discerning customers, the brand continually develops new coffee varieties through grafting of coffee tree seedlings, a horticultural technique used to join two plants, so they grow as a single plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To date, Nespresso relied on the experience of a few trained experts to manually examine the seedling to detect if the grafting process was successful and the plant was viable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demetria applies its handheld sensor technology and machine-learning models to enable Nespresso\u2019s operational teams to measure and classify grafted stems of specific coffee tree seedlings with the same precision as a highly trained expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the pilot, Demetria\u2019s application was used to classify over 240K seedlings in a three-month period that have since been supplied to Nespresso\u2019s selected network of farmers in Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology provides Nespresso with the ability to greatly amplify operational capacity and efficiency while achieving process consistency given the automated measurement and classification of coffee plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[embedyt] https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yyYr1u02z28[\/embedyt]\n\n\n\n

The outcome of this joint process will provide coffee farmers across Colombia with high-quality grafted plants, contributing to their productivity and livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
