HolyGrail 2.0: Uniting the value chain to advance sorting technology - Ellen MacArthur Foundation

The optical precision sorter uses multiple IDS industrial cameras along a 1.5-metre inspection section to classify potatoes by size and quality, with up to five grades produced in a single pass, according to an article by IDS Imaging Development Systems Ltd, published by Process and Control Today. Rising quality requirements and labour shortages are forcing agricultural businesses to modernise their sorting processes. Those seeking to ensure product quality while reducing the burden on staff need more than a simple pass/fail separation system. What is required is multi-grade sorting that reliably classifies produce by both size and quality and has proven itself in continuous operation. This is precisely where the Farmsort.one optical precision sorter comes in. It brings industrial inspection principles to small and medium-sized agricultural businesses, combining size grading and quality inspection in a single pass. In most cases, it eliminates the need for manual re-sorting altogether.
