Saeed SarfaraziSaeed SarfaraziBusiness & Industry Advisor · Canadian Physical AI Institute30 complimentary course passes for CFIN members: find and fix hidden losses in your plantHi everyone, I’m Saeed Sarfarazi, Business & Industry Advisor at the Canadian Physical AI Institute, a nonprofit helping food and beverage manufacturers adopt practical AI and automation. We’ve reserved 30 complimentary passes for CFIN members to our on demand course “Find and fix hidden losses in food and beverage manufacturing” (normally CAD $199). It’s four short video lessons with practitioners from Wherefour, Specright and others, built for process, quality, maintenance and operations teams. You work from the records your plant already keeps to find waste, rework and downtime, and each lesson ends with an exercise on your own line data. It’s purely educational, with no vendor pitches. To claim a pass, open this link and enter your email. Your code unlocks all four lessons: https://physicalai.ca/en/find-fix-hidden-losses-food-beverage/?ip=jzLSwQVNOnSjwa9X46VzPf Happy to answer questions here or connect directly.Donna Marie IeluzziDonna Marie IeluzziMember · CFIN (Canadian Food Innovation Network)YODL 101: Your Guide to the New WebsiteOur new website is here and we’re making it easier than ever to explore everything YODL has to offer!
