Research on the Application of Computer Vision in MOUTAI Baijiu Brewing Process

Abstract

Since the development of computer vision, it has been applied in many industries such as industry, manufacturing, and food monitoring. However, it is seldom applied in the Chinese alcohol industry, especially in the monitoring of the brewing process of Chinese alcohol. As a leading enterprise in the Chinese alcohol industry, MOUTAI adheres to the traditional principle and adheres to the manual brewing mode to brew a unique MOUTAI flavor. As a traditional enterprise, MOUTAI is also facing the dilemma of digital transformation. ZTE assists in the construction of intelligent MOUTAI. For the five major brewing processes of MOUTAI, a computer vision system is used to automatically collect eighteen brewing process parameters. Field tests covering 83,210 samples showed a pooled recognition accuracy of 97.29%, with the accuracy of individual parameters ranging from 81.70% to 99.74%. This is the first application of computer vision in the brewing process of MOUTAI, laying a foundation for the inheritance of MOUTAI process data.
