The new standard for fruit quality control

The GearStation Fruit is a compact in-line solution for quality control of (soft) fruit. The easy-to-install and operate solution is installed in the existing logistics system. The advanced AI software assesses the fruit in, for example, the punnet and decides whether it is approved or rejected based on the specifications set by the user.

Our digital employees ensure standardisation of quality processes and valuable data insights. This allows you to work not only more efficiently, but also more intelligently, every single day.

The brain

How the GearStation works

The advanced AI software assesses the fruit in the punnet and makes decisions based on the specifications set by the user. This gives the operator flexibility in applying a quality profile per order by setting sorting instructions as required.

Labour saving; 1 GearStation can inspect up to 120 punnets per minute for quality
Consistent quality assessment adjustable as desired to multiple defect levels
Reduces claims through quality control - 360 degrees per punnet
Can be integrated into existing processing lines

Real-time data and reports

The assessment of the punnets is presented in clear reports and dashboards (per supplier). These reports can be expanded with the corresponding assessed images of the punnets in order to reduce claims and use new insights based on the data to optimise processes.

Data driven

Vision and AI provide relevant data

All collected data is processed in real time and presented in clear dashboards. This not only gives companies insight into the current quality of their products, but also into broader trends, for example per employee, per greenhouse, per supplier or per season.

This data-driven approach enables continuous improvement of processes: employees can be trained in a more targeted manner, suppliers can be managed more effectively, and quality criteria can be tailored more accurately to market demand.
