AI for regulatory compliance in animal nutrition technical documentation

AI for regulatory compliance in animal nutrition technical documentation

Visán, a Spanish pet food manufacturing company, worked with Crata AI to implement a generative AI system that validates technical documentation against the applicable regulation. The system cut document validation time by 60% and detected over 90% of relevant discrepancies.

Keeping technical documentation aligned with changing regulation

Visán has been manufacturing pet food since the 1970s, with a focus on the specialist retail channel. Every product carries a technical data sheet that has to stay aligned with frequently updated regulations.

Validating that documentation was manual work. Every technical document went through a thorough human review against current regulations to catch discrepancies before it reached production or a customer. The process was slow, it left room for human error, and it took specialists away from higher-value work.

As the volume of documentation grew, so did the cost of that friction. Turnaround times stretched, and review took up more of the technical team's week.

A generative AI system that speeds up document validation

With Crata AI, Visán implemented a generative AI system that analyzes technical documents, checks them against applicable regulations, and flags potential discrepancies for a specialist to review before making a final decision.

The system keeps human judgment at the center and takes on the repetitive work of reading documents and comparing them against regulations, so the technical team can focus on the cases that truly require their expertise.

The system covers the full document review cycle:

  • Reads and structures technical documents automatically.
  • Checks each document against applicable regulations.
  • Detects discrepancies between the document and the regulation.
  • Generates summaries that speed up review.
  • Routes cases that need it to human review.
Turn your technical documentation into data you can use

Manual document review slows teams down and multiplies the risk of error. At Crata AI we build systems that read, validate and structure your documentation with accuracy and at high speed.

The technology behind the document validation system

The system combines several layers of artificial intelligence that work in sequence to read, understand and cross-check technical documentation against applicable regulations automatically.

  • Language models (LLM): interpret the content of technical documents and generate the discrepancy summaries.
  • RAG (retrieval-augmented generation): connects the model to current regulations to check each document against the correct, up-to-date source.
  • Agent chains: organize the process into chained steps, from reading the document to routing it to human review.
  • Natural language processing: interprets technical and regulatory language to identify matches and discrepancies.
  • Document processing: structures the information in incoming documents so the rest of the system can work with it.
