Belgian start-up looking to advance services in UK and Europe.

POLYSENSE, Belgian start-up company specialising in AI and hardware for the potato and bakery industries, recently closed a €2 million investment round which it hopes to use to expand its work in Europe and the UK.

The company uses artificial intelligence to help manufacturers improve their process control. Computer-aided quality inspections and process parameters are linked so defects and other errors can be quickly identified.

French fry supplier Agristo, Croky crisps manufacturer Roger & Roger and Dutch processor Coroos are amongst those currently using the Polysense product and it is hoped the new investment will enable the company to further its operations in the UK and Europe.

CEO of Polysense, Yarne De Munck (pictured), said: “With the use of synthetic data, we’re creating a digital replica of customer products in no time. That is how we can generate data fast and efficiently, saving a lot of time and resources.”

Polysense was established in 2022 by Yarne De Munck (CEO), Lucas Van Dijck (CTO) and Jarne Bogaert (COO).
