Revolutionize your business with AI grading technology
Are you struggling to maintain high quality, manage your labor force, and meet production demands? You’re not alone. Many growers, farmers, and packers face similar challenges, often centered around three critical areas:
Quality: Are you consistently meeting your customers' high standards?
Labor: Do you have enough skilled workers to reliably grade and pack your harvest?
Quantity: Is your processing capacity sufficient to handle everything on time and maximize your margins?
If these questions sound familiar, it's time for a conversation.
Ellips AI grading technology helps you tackle key challenges with precise, automated solutions. It ensures consistent product quality, reduces labor dependency, and increases throughput.
To highlight these benefits, we created the Golden Grading Triangle. This visualization shows how Ellips technology transforms grading processes for forward-thinking professionals.

This is how AI delivers consistent superior quality
Are inconsistent quality and hidden defects threatening your market reputation? In today’s competitive market, achieving consistent superior quality is more challenging—and more essential—than ever. Based on over 35 years of experience and insights from over 3,000 customers, we've pinpointed the five major challenges that may be holding you back.
1. Demanding market:
Your customers expect high quality year-round, regardless of seasonal or batch variability.
2. Diverse defects and product characteristics:
Defects come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, making them hard to spot without advanced technology.
3. Subtle imperfections:
Some defects are nearly invisible to the naked eye, requiring advanced AI technology for accurate identification.
4. Evolving defects:
Tiny, undetected defects can worsen after grading and packing, leading to major problems later.
5. Seasonal variability:
Due to changing weather and growing conditions, fresh produce can suffer from quality inconsistency. Different defects can emerge each season, making detection complex.
