Assessment of fruit

From quality control to phenotyping

Assessing fruit using vision and AI technology is familiar territory for Gearbox. Since our founding in 2016, we have specialised in assessing and quantifying traits and translating these measurements into actionable data. Because we are accustomed to performing measurements using a wide range of technological applications, this results in reliable data you can confidently base decisions on — both in the sorting process and in the greenhouse. We also have extensive experience in phenotyping crop- and variety-specific traits and characteristics. These insights support informed decision-making in breeding programmes. The crops we currently support include:

Grapes
Strawberries
(Blue) Berries
Blackberries
Raspberries
Citrus
Stone fruits
