# Smart Viniculture: Applying Artificial Intelligence for Improved Winemaking and Risk Management
## 4 Artificial Intelligence in Production, the Fermentation Process, and Bottling Quality Control
### Machine Vision Systems for Bottling Quality Inspection
#### 4.3.3 Integration with Automated Systems  
AI-powered machine vision systems can be seamlessly integrated with other automated processes in the bottling line. For instance, when a defect is detected, the AI system can automatically remove the faulty product from the production line, ensuring that only flawless bottles are packed and shipped. This integration enhances the overall productivity and reliability of the bottling process.  
A study by [PERSON] et al. demonstrated the integration of multiple industrial cameras with edge-computing boxes and a programmable logic controller (PLC) for inline crack inspection in industrial manufacturing. This collaborative system allowed for real-time detection and correction of defects, optimizing the performance of the production process. Although this study was conducted in a different industry, its principles can be effectively applied to the wine bottling process to enhance defect detection and correction [101].  
Moreover, integrating machine vision systems with robotic arms and conveyors allows for real-time adjustments and corrections. For example, if a label is detected as misaligned, a robotic arm can reposition it correctly before the bottle moves to the next stage. This level of automation reduces downtime and increases the throughput of the bottling line. [PERSON] and [PERSON] developed an integrated inspection system using a PLC to control the conveyor belt and a robot to remove defective bottles from the line in an advanced manufacturing setting. This approach can be adapted for the wine industry to improve production efficiency and final product quality [102].  
Another relevant example is the work by [PERSON] et al., who proposed a vision system for the automated MPS 500 line from FESTO, used primarily in educational settings for automation and machine control. This system not only monitors and evaluates data in real-time but also supports the practical training of automation technologies. Applying this approach to the wine industry could enhance both the training of new personnel and the operational efficiency of automated bottling lines [103].  
Lastly, [PERSON] et al. developed an automatic loading and unloading production system using robotic arms, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and computer numerical control (CNC) machines for manufacturing. The integration of these components significantly improved production stability and reduced the need for human intervention. Adapting this level of automation to the wine industry could optimize the bottling process, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency [104].  
Another example involves the integration of machine vision systems in a European winery's bottling line, which led to a 25% increase in throughput and a 20% reduction in labor costs. The system's ability to automate defect detection and corrective actions improved the overall productivity and reliability of the bottling process [105].
