Project poster

Talking Rain(TR) is a leading beverage company manufacturing sparkling water and other beverages. TR relies on manual quality assurance processes to identify non-optimal beverages before release into the market. Non-optimal products yield complaints from consumers and generate negative publicity for the company. The goal of the project was to leverage ML to identify hidden patterns and detect non-optimal lots to prevent their release into the market. Our ML model was able to identify 100% non-optimal lots at the cost of retesting few good lots. This data-driven approach has enabled TR to identify quality issues at co-packers early, ensuring proactive remediation.
