Artificial Intelligence

As the produce industry grows with technological advances, Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are helping to improve the overall quality and accuracy of grading and sizing products. Human sorting and grading are time consuming, expensive and error prone. Employing AI with powerful servers can quickly size and grade potatoes beyond the human eye. This increases speed and accuracy, reduces costs and increases revenue by delivering the highest quality potatoes to the market.
