Our industry partner, Miin Jiang Industrial Co., Ltd., was named a 2025 Outstanding Company in the Digital Transformation category of Tainan City's local Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The company received the award on November 11, 2026, at the Tainan Joint Results Exhibition at the WinWin Innovation & Incubation Base. It also showcased iNoodle, an AI vision system for noodle packaging lines developed in collaboration with our lab.
Miin Jiang commissioned iCPS Lab to develop iNoodle under the leadership of Professor Wan-Jung Chang of the Department of Electronics Engineering at National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology. The system analyzes images from the dried noodle packaging line in real time, checks the number and types of seasoning packets, and detects stray hairs. This reduces the need for manual visual inspection and makes quality checks more consistent.
According to figures Miin Jiang shared at the exhibition, inspection time fell from about 30 seconds to about 6 seconds after iNoodle was introduced. We congratulate Miin Jiang on the award and thank our partners for helping put AI vision to work in food packaging quality control.
