The new AI-based counting technology will be introduced at three major facilities under the Bengaluru Milk Union Limited (BAMUL) network: the Bengaluru Dairy, Kanakapura Dairy and Hosakote Dairy. These units handle a large portion of Milkfed’s packing and distribution, making them ideal first implementation sites to test scalability and performance.

By using machine vision and counting algorithms, the system will automatically detect, tally and record dairy items such as milk packets, curd cups, and other products during packing and dispatch stages. This automation is expected to reduce human error, speed up operations, and lower labor costs, strengthening both inventory management and data reliability.

Senior KMF officials say this AI rollout reflects the cooperative’s commitment to innovation and digital transformation within dairy supply chains. Beyond basic counting, future integration with broader operational systems — including real-time analytics and traceability tools — could further enhance quality control, reconciliation and audit accuracy across production lines.
