Development Opportunity: Olive Oil Extraction Monitoring Sensor

fizum proposes the development of a wearable or in-line sensor system for olive oil mills that monitors the extraction process, focusing on:

• Olive crushing and malaxation parameters

• Oil quality indicators (phenolics, acidity, color, aroma precursors)

• Traceability from grove to bottle, capturing batch and source information

• Detection of deviations or contaminants during processing

Key features:

• IoT-enabled sensors transmit data continuously to the Efizum platform.

• Quantum-weighted AI models analyse extraction data in real time to provide actionable recommendations, ensuring maximum quality, yield, and safety.

• Validation in operational olive mills to achieve TRL7, demonstrating reliable performance in real processing conditions.

• Platform ready for multi-sensor integration for scalable monitoring across multiple mills or production lines.

Expected Impact:

• Real-time monitoring improves oil quality and consistency.

• Full traceability and certification support for premium olive oils.

• Optimisation of extraction efficiency, reducing waste and maximising yield.

• Accelerates progress toward TRL8-9, ready for commercial deployment.

• Positions Efizum as a leader in digital agritech solutions for olive oil production, combining IoT, sensors, and quantum-weighted AI.
