Tetra Pak is a Swedish multinational specializing in food packaging and processing solutions, operating in over 160 countries with more than 25,000 employees.
During my internship as an AI engineer in the D&T department, I focused on adapting vision-language models to domain-specific data, to improve the efficiency of the company’s quality-control process by automating the test environment. I researched and implemented state-of-the-art models such as CLIP and SigLIP, and devised ways to adapt them to Tetra Pak’s specific use case.
The work ran the full length of a real ML project: data preprocessing, manual annotation of a dataset of about a thousand image–text pairs (a lesson in how much data quality matters), and fine-tuning with transfer-learning techniques to improve performance on domain-specific data.
At the end of the internship I presented my findings and recommendations to the team, highlighting the potential benefits of integrating vision-language models into the quality-control process. The work was well received and led to my current full-time role.
