MLOps Coffee Sessions #159 with Maria Vechtomova, Lead ML engineer, and Basak Eskili Machine Learning Engineer, at Ahold Delhaize, Why is MLOps Hard in an Enterprise? co-hosted by Abi Aryan. // Abstract MLOps is particularly challenging to implement in enterprise organizations due to the complexity of the data ecosystem, the need for collaboration across multiple teams, and the lack of standardization in ML tooling and infrastructure. In addition to these challenges, at Ahold Delhaize, there is a requirement for the reusability of models as our brands seek to have similar data science products, such as personalized offers, demand forecasts, and cross-sell. // Bio Maria Vechtomova Maria is a Machine Learning Engineer at Ahold Delhaize. Maria is bridging the gap between data scientists infra and IT teams at different brands and focuses on standardization of machine learning operations across all the brands within Ahold Delhaize. During nine years in Data&Analytics, Maria tried herself in different roles, from data scientist to machine learning engineer, was part of teams in various domains, and has built broad knowledge. Maria believes that a model only starts living when it is in production. For this reason, last six years, her focus was on the automation and standardization of processes related to machine learning. Basak Eskili Basak Eskili is a Machine Learning Engineer at Ahold Delhaize. She is working on creating new tools and infrastructure that enable data scientists to quickly operationalise algorithms. She is bridging the space between data scientists and platform engineers while improving the way of working in accordance with MLOps principles. In her previous role, she was responsible for bringing models to production. She focused on NLP projects and building data processing pipelines. Basak also implemented new solutions by using cloud services for existing applications and databases to improve time and efficiency. // MLOps Jobs board https://mlops.pallet.xyz/jobs // MLOps Swag/Merch https://mlops-community.myshopify.com/ // Related Links MLOps Maturity Assessment Blog: https://mlops.community/mlops-maturity-assessment/ The Minimum Set of Must-Haves for MLOps Blog: https://mlops.community/the-minimum-set-of-must-haves-for-mlops/ Traceability & Reproducibility Blog: https://mlops.community/traceability-reproducibility/ --------------- ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ------------- Join our slack community: https://go.mlops.community/slack Follow us on Twitter: @mlopscommunity Sign up for the next meetup: https://go.mlops.community/register Catch all episodes, blogs, newsletters, and more: https://mlops.community/ Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpbrinkm/ Connect with Abi on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/goabiaryan/ Connect with Maria on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-vechtomova/Connect with Basak on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ba%C5%9Fak-tu%C4%9F%C3%A7e-eskili-61511b58/

On this special episode of Next Level Supply Chain, GS1 US CEO Bob Carpenter speaks with Frank Yiannas, Former Deputy Commissioner, Food Policy & Response at the FDA. While at the FDA, Frank was one of the architects for the Food Safety Modernization Act using his massive experience at Walmart and Disney, where he spent a combined 29 years in charge of food health & safety. Bob and Frank discuss the importance of a smarter and more sustainable food system with the help of digitalization. Frank shares insights on the Food Traceability rule and how it was developed by the FDA. We also tackle the benefits of traceability, such as preventing illnesses and improving transparency in the food system. We talk about how data standards and emerging technologies can address challenges facing the food industry and how collaboration is key to implementing the new rule. Tune in to discover how compliance oversight is moving towards a 21st-century paradigm and how data sharing can create crucial public-private collaborations. Key takeaways: The food system needs collaboration between public and private sectors to implement traceability and prevent major outbreaks. Emerging technologies like RFID and IoT pixels offer new ways to track and monitor food assets and increase predictive capabilities for identifying volatile seafood shipments. The shift towards real-time monitoring and dynamic risk prioritization is already emerging, and the private sector should lead the way in reinventing how they do compliance oversight and share their practices with regulators around the world.

Hemp Tampons: Traceability from Farm to Vagina

Half the people in the world menstruate, but nearly no one knows exactly what feminine hygiene products are made of and how those materials may be affecting the health outcomes of the people using the products, according to Claire Crunk, founder and CEO of Trace Femcare. “Part of why there is so little transparency in period products, Crunk said, “is because the supply chain is global, complex and opaque, and the solution to that is to build regionalized supply chains that are brand-led and very intimate.” Which is exactly what she's doing at Trace, where they make tampons and pads from a blend of hemp and cotton. Crunk was a women's health nurse practitioner and owned her own practice for more than 10 years in Tennessee. During this time she saw many patients with vulvar rashes, period pain, period irregularity, infertility and more. She dug into the research and tried “to understand how the products in our environment that we put on and in our bodies could be affecting health outcomes,” she said. The more she learned about the opaqueness of the tampon industry, the more her frustration grew. She said that most products on the market, regardless of brand, are made by the same small group of manufactures, and often these manufactures don't themselves know what's in their products. “This is a huge problem that we're trying to solve in the industry,” she said. “There's just no transparency. The tampon manufacturer doesn't know what chemicals are being used to process the fibers that they're purchasing to make their products." She said that these formulations are often proprietary, so even if you ask the fiber producers what chemicals they are using, they won't disclose them. “So a lot of the risk assessment is categorical in nature instead of precise,” Crunk said. She pointed to the use of PFAS, or forever chemicals, in menstrual underwear, which can cause infertility, cancer and autoimmune disorders. “They're endocrine disruptors, hormone disruptors. So to put that in a product that's touching our reproductive organs, that's a big problem to me,” she said. After a decade of running her women's health practice, Crunk suffered from severe burnout and walked away from it all, and embarked on her own journey of healing. Her time of recovery was also a time of discovery. She was struck with the idea to build a brand of feminine products made from natural materials like hemp and cotton that offered transparency in the supply chain. And Trace Femcare was born. “And to this day, I think we're the only brand that knows what farm practices happen in their fiber production,” she said. The hemp fiber used in Trace's tampons is sourced from hemp grown and processed in the U.S., mostly from North Carolina and Montana. “Our product is blended with a regenerative cotton called Climate Beneficial cotton, and all of our cotton is grown and processed in the U.S. as well,” she said. Building Trace Femcare Crunk founded the company in 2018 and soon brought in two additional co-founders to make her dream a reality — Meg Galaske, a holistic medical doctor and energy healer; and Olaf Isele, an engineer who has specialized in absorbent hygiene products for over 25 years. Together they have built Trace and are preparing to launch their first product this summer, an applicator-free, biodegradable menstrual tampon, with several more products in the pipeline. “Our mission at Trace is to heal the earth with our periods.” Crunk said. As girls grow up into women, they get signals from society that “periods are something dirty or something bad, a problem that needs to be fixed, hidden, to be taken care of,” she said. “And that's how we're marketed to. But we believe that our periods can be a tool to healing — and in this case, healing the earth. So I started Trace because I was looking for period products that were made of materials that were healthier for our bodies,” she said. “I wanted to make tampons and pads with full traceability down to farm level and operate a brand where I personally know every single person that touches the making of this product, and every single chemical, and have a primary voice in guiding that process, too. So, I'm proud to say that we have accomplished that.” Trace Femcare https://traceyourtampon.com/ Thanks to our Sponsors!

We talk with Shameek Ghosh, co-founder of Trustrace a platform that brings traceability and transparency to the fashion brands such as #Adidas, #Decathalon, and #FjällRaven. It all started when one of his coworkers/friend decided to return to India from Sweden to take over his ancestral property. His friend was dismayed at the destruction that the fashion industry had caused to the lands owned by his family for three generations in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu, India. When they started to talk to leading sustainable brands in Sweden to see if they collaborate with factories in India, they were hesitant to work with companies 1000s of miles away as they wouldn't be able to control the products and quality. After talking to these brands they developed a B2B SaaS platform that empowers fashion and textile brands to fully understand and take responsibility for the social and environmental impact of their supply chains. The company is the one-stop platform for brands aiming to solve major challenges of sustainability, compliance, and transparency in the supply chains. They track transactions and scope certificates in a standardized, digital format using an AI-driven platform. Brands can get granular visibility into the chain of custody and gather evidence needed to meet compliance requirements. And furthermore they can see the status of the materials and goods as they move through the supply chain.

You probably noticed in our opening segment more than just Vonnie's voice. That's because we will be playing clips of some of the entrepreneurs and mentors that participated in IFPA's Fresh Field Catalyst this past year. You see, Vonnie reached out about coming back onto the podcast to talk about how applications are open for their second cohort. After talking to Vonnie and hearing about how the first cohort went, I realized this would be a great chance to talk about tech and innovation in the produce industry in general. Our conversation today covers some of the challenges facing this industry, including water, labor, food safety, traceability, quality, compliance and more. And you'll hear from entrepreneurs and industry leaders about differentiation, consumer preferences, indoor ag, traceability, and automation and robotics. Before we dive in, I want to make it clear that the intention of the accelerator is to attract companies that already have a product in the market somewhere. That could be a market outside of agriculture, or perhaps in row crops, or maybe in produce but in another geography. So they're looking for companies that already have some traction, but maybe haven't directed much focus to produce yet but think that there might be value in that market. If that sounds like you or someone you know, applications close soon: March 20 of 2023. I'll link to the application in the show notes. You may remember hearing from Vonnie back in episode 270 of this podcast. To refresh your memory, she has held leadership positions at prominent companies including DuPont, Monsanto, and Syngenta along with start-ups including DNAP, Emergent Genetics, and Caribou Biosciences. She has a BS in Horticulture from New Mexico State and a Masters in Plant Pathology from UC Davis. In addition to Vonnie, you're going to hear clips from some of the entrepreneurs and mentors in the program's first cohort. These clips came from Vonnie's podcast called Fresh Takes on Tech. You definitely want to go check that out. I'll link to it in the show notes as well.

FDA Approves Lab-Grown Meat + Grocery Trade Groups Concerned About New Food Traceability Rule

After many years of research and development, innovation and anticipation, lab-grown meat has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the historic approval, which was granted to San Francisco-based startup UPSIDE Foods to sell its lab-grown chicken. The product — which is biologically indistinguishable from traditional chicken — is made by growing animal cells in bioreactors, which are fed a mix of nutrients to develop into fat and muscle tissue. Though the company still needs US Department of Agriculture (USDA) approval before it can sell to consumers, it's a watershed moment for the lab-grown meat space and the broader food industry. While the team is excited about the approval, they are surprised to hear that the price of lab-grown meat ranges from thousands to hundreds of dollars per pound, which is why it likely won't be commercialized for many years. Also, in this episode, Sydney talks about the FDA's final rule on Requirements for Additional Traceability Records for Certain Foods, which includes food traceability protocols for a variety of food products susceptible to contamination. Although food traceability requirements are becoming more common, two grocery trade groups are expressing concerns regarding the new ruling. The final rule, which goes into effect in early 2026, is designed to provide a means for additional traceability of high-risk foods, including produce, cheeses, eggs, nut butter, seafood and deli salads. However, the National Grocers Association (NGA) and the Food Industry Association (FMI) voiced their concerns about the final food traceability rule, claiming it will disproportionately impact smaller grocers. While the team understands the need for further food traceability laws to prevent foodborne illness outbreaks, they also empathize with smaller food producers and sellers who may not have the resources necessary to implement the new rule by 2026.Read the full articles here:Lab-Grown Meat Approved by the FDANew Food Traceability Rule Sparks Concerns Among Grocery Trade GroupsFor more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: @XtalksFood Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured

Product traceability is extremely complex to implement. If it is mandated by the regulations, you might not have much of a choice. But to shoulder the administration overhead imposed by traceability processes. It could be so challenging that it might break your processes while inputting serial numbers during your receive operation. There is also a very thin line in deciding between lot numbers and serial numbers. Finally, the recall management might require you to have the infrastructure set up for the entire recall process.In today's episode, we invited a panel of cross-functional experts for live interview on LinkedIn who brings significant expertise to discuss Product Traceability and Recall Management best practices.

When it comes to purchasing, there's no doubt that consumers want to understand what's behind the product. This topic has made its way, and now finds great key players to act for real shifts. At FiberTrace®, Chief Executive Officer Shannon Mercer is acting for traceability all along the supply chain with thoughtful technology. Combining both physical and digital, the platform allows users to map products in real-time, ensuring the tracking of the fibers, from the field to the store. Offering different solutions using blockchain and certified verification, there's no more reason for the industry to get slow on this revolution. In this quest of alignment with oneself, ones values and ethics, Shannon highlights that these shifts are made possible from all sides, pushed by legislation, industry players, services like FibreTrace tools but also, consumers. A tool that cannot be dismissed, when we know that they offer several services, some at zero cost. In this episode, Shannon gives an analytical eye on the market and consumer behaviors, and he also shares some case studies on how transparency can shape a business.CONTENT TO FIND YOUR WAY IN THE EPISODE 2:28 : Shannon presents himself3:10 : How did FibreTrace® start?4:04 : His definition of sustainable fashion4:45 : FibreTrace® activity4:15 : His definition of traceability7:54 : The importance of physical traceability8:50 : His definition of traceability and blockchain and their complementarity 10:45 : Is he involved in every step of the supply chain?12:10 : His customers12:45 : How has traceability evolved in the past years?13:35 : What is the legal framework?16:45 : What are the final clients expectations?19:05 : A case study at FibreTrace®20:21 : The technology's cost21:40 : The future of traceability22:48 : How long does it take to apply this process?24:25 : Their challenges in the upcoming years26:09 : How can the fashion industry accelerate its revolution?26:25 : Is FibreTrace® exclusive to all parts of the supply chain?28:40: The advice he would give to young designers regarding traceability30:00 What does he want to close the door to in our industry?30:15 : What does he look at to get inspired?30:32 : What is the last piece of clothes he bought? 30:45 : Who would he like to listen to in this podcast? KEY LEARNINGS “All brands can take full ownership of their supply chain and therefore the full impact on individual goods. We want to see a world where consumers can pick up a garment and know the impact it will have on the planet. I think that is where traceability starts.” “Each fiber has a different application and each fiber type has a unique signature.” “Ensuring you can connect physical traces to digital platforms is the only way of having a full transparent system.”“Consumers are very much more emotional in their purchasing decisions and this is why we see the demand for transparency from brands playing driven from the market when the changes are occurring.” Learn more about FibreTrace® :https://www.fibretrace.io Hosted on Acast.

When they started to talk to leading sustainable brands in Sweden to see if they collaborate with factories in India, they were hesitant to work with companies 1000s of miles away as they wouldn't be able to control the products and quality. After talking to these brands they developed a B2B SaaS platform that empowers fashion and textile brands to fully understand and take responsibility for the social and environmental impact of their supply chains. The company is the one-stop platform for brands aiming to solve major challenges of sustainability, compliance, and transparency in the supply chains. They track transactions and scope certificates in a standardized, digital format using an AI-driven platform. Brands can get granular visibility into the chain of custody and gather evidence needed to meet compliance requirements. And furthermore they can see the status of the materials and goods as they move through the supply chain.
