The Power of AI in detecting challenging defects
Every potato 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 potato, 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 wireworm, compression bruising and mechanical damage.
Quality is a promise, regardless of batch quality
With True-AI, you can consistently guarantee the quality of your potatoes, no matter the quality of the batch. AI gives you the flexibility to respond to different conditions and market demands.
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 potato 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.
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 parameters, 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 potato quality characteristics. 2. This new grading technology to meet your customer's unique demands.
