AI Inspection & Sorting with Robotic Arm
AI-Powered Quality Checks & Shelf-Life Prediction for Fresh Produce
Automate Inspection & Sorting with Precision
Advanced robotic arms work seamlessly with our AI grading system to physically sort and handle produce with unprecedented precision and speed. Reduce labor costs while improving consistency and maximizing profit and efficiency across your operations.
Core Capabilities:
- ✓Automatically separate defects from premium produce based on real-time AI inspection to ensure consistent quality standards.
- ✓Dynamically track inventory data for accepted and rejected produce and expiry dates to prioritize shipments and prevent waste.
Supply Chain Inefficiencies
Three critical bottlenecks that AI-powered robotic automation eliminates from the produce warehouse supply chain.
Operational Bottlenecks
Manual inspection acts as a blockage for the entire produce supply chain. While inspectors struggle to grade produce one by one, downstream teams are forced to stand idle. Packing lines stall, and trucks sit empty at the loading dock, leaving your entire logistics operation waiting on the pace of human decision-making.
Wasted Produce
Adapting to new defect types requires retraining the entire team, a near-impossible task during peak season turnover. This training gap leads to manual errors that trigger visible decay 2-3 days later, cutting the effective shelf life to 4-5 days. Ultimately, retailers are forced to apply 30-50% markdowns just to move this deteriorating stock.
Rising Labor Costs
Hiring is getting harder and more expensive every year. Between rising wages, high turnover, and constant retraining, labor eats up your margins. When workers don't show up, you are forced to pay for expensive overtime just to keep the line moving, making your operating costs impossible to predict.
How Robotic Arm Automation Works
Robotic Pick & Pack
Eliminate manual bottlenecks entirely. This high-speed system automates repetitive picking and packaging, ensuring manual inspection never blocks the supply chain. It replaces human fatigue with constant precision, delivering the same accuracy on the ten-thousandth item as the first.
360° Inspection & Shelf-Life Prediction
Prevent rejected shipments entirely. The system physically rotates every item to catch hidden bottom-side defects that top-down scans miss, replacing generic expiry dates with precise, item-specific shelf-life predictions. This ensures retailers receive stock that lasts, eliminating early spoilage and costly markdowns.
AI Inspection App
AI-Powered Quality Checks & Shelf-Life Prediction for Fresh Produce
Automate Inspection with Precision
Replace subjective manual inspections with consistent AI analysis. Our computer vision system grades produce instantly, helping you eliminate human error and optimize inventory based on actual freshness rather than guesswork.
Core Capabilities:
- ✓Automated grading and defect detection across every batch
- ✓Predict shelf life to prioritize shipments and prevent waste
Hidden Costs of Manual Inspection
Manual inspection creates downstream costs that compound across logistics, claims, and daily operations.
Shipping Missorted Unripe Stock
Without instant ripeness visibility, warehouses ship perishable inventory on routes it can't survive. Ripe produce travels hundreds of miles, only to arrive unusable but the transport and labor costs still need to be paid.
Unverifiable Credit Claims
Retailers frequently dispute the quality of produce upon delivery, claiming items arrived overripe or damaged. No objective evidence to validate or dispute quality complaints, resulting in either unfair credit payouts or damaged customer relationships.
Operational Inefficiency
Visual inspection requires skilled experts who are hard to find, expensive to train, and produce inconsistent results. As operations scale, manual inspection becomes a bottleneck where hiring simply cannot keep pace with volume.
How the AI Inspection App Works
AI-Powered Inspection
No skilled inspector required. Now, any team member can scan produce with the mobile app. See Produce AI handles the rest by detecting defects, checking quality, and predicting expiry dates, replacing subjective guesswork with data.
Ripeness-Based Inventory
Managers can transform real-time data into actionable insights from anywhere, using AI to instantly assess quality and forecast expiration dates, ensuring ripe stock is sent locally while unripe items are assigned to longer routes to minimize waste.
Key Benefits
Prevent Buyer Rejections
Ensure every shipment aligns with specific buyer quality specs to eliminate costly returns and protect brand reputation.
Reduce Produce Waste
Minimize spoilage and recover revenue by identifying at-risk inventory long before it becomes unsellable.
