✅ Your grading technology gets smarter every day. With grading performance moving towards 100% detection accuracy, you can fully trust the grading results.

✅  True-AI software has been trained to find defects all on its own, making your life easier.

The Power of AI in detecting challenging defects

Every cherry is different. So is every defect. Internal and external defects occur in many ways. This makes it challenging to detect certain defects. Existing grading technology struggles with the spectrum of numerous defect combinations, limiting your batch's full potential.

See the unseen with an eye for the smallest details.

With so many ways for defects to appear across every piece of cherry, it’s only through Ellips True-AI that can accurately model all these combinations. You can detect even the most challenging defects with an eye for the smallest details. This technology helps you with hard-to-detect defects such as black rot, fresh cracks and cracks within the stem area. In addition, it offers sensational reliability in detecting stems, neighbouring stems and stem attachment points.

Quality is a promise, regardless of batch quality
With True-AI, you can consistently guarantee the quality of your cherries, no matter the quality of the batch. AI gives you the flexibility to respond to different conditions and market demands.

“What caught our attention is the machine's ability to 'refine its eye on each fruit'. It proves outstanding grading improvements of challenging defects such as black rot, fresh cracks and cracks within the stem area.”

AI grading for cherries impresses Allegria Foods with sensational precision

Increase the pace with even faster processing speed.

Another advantagee of True-AI is the speed of the grading process. In this regard, Javier Contesse from Allegria Foods comments that "previously, when we received lots of fruit with very uneven quality, they had to be analysed at very low speeds to identify defects. Today we can maintain the speed of the process thanks to True-AI, which has a very positive impact on throughput.

See your grading technology getting smarter every day

Let's zoom in on how AI works. With True-AI, the algorithms are developed by using vast amounts of data of different cherry varieties gathered all around the world. It is built with hundreds of thousands of reference images. By incorporating additional defect data on an ongoing basis, True-AI will be continually enriched with data. This data is collected from our large global customer base across different seasons and growing conditions. You can all benefit from this collective intelligence.

“It is remarkable that with every detection, the system gains strength and improves its precision in analysing each individual cherry.”

Can we make your life easier?

Yes, this technology is designed to make your life easier. Operator's tasks will be less complex and more automated. Less operator input is required because our True-AI software has been trained to find defects all on its own. You will have more time to focus on other important operational issues. As grading performance moves towards 100% detection accuracy, grading tasks can be done with minimal staff. Many of the grading parameter, previously created by the operator, can now be managed by the system. The True-AI algorithms work out-of-the-box so that you can apply them immediately without modification.

The best of both worlds: Human & Technology

The operator still has an important role to play. His/her expertise relates to the dynamic quality standards demanded by specific customers and markets. You want the best of both worlds. 1. An operator who has knowledge of cherry quality characteristics. 2. This new grading technology to meet your customer’s unique demands

We have seen a very good result in the boxes. The balance between speed of analysis and fruit selection is far superior to what we had before True-AI.
