Ocean Insight and Lugo Machinery & Innovation partnered to create a fully integrated system that scans and sorts up to 25 fresh dates every second without the need for human intervention
Traditional food sorting methods rely on the expertise of workers to make quality assessments based on the human eye. Lugo sought to improve the quality, safety and efficiency of the sorting process using Ocean Insight’s optical sensing hardware and machine learning, aiming to improve customer trust and ensure food quality.
Lugo’s implementation timeline was very short, with only four months until date season, and they had limited prior experience with spectroscopy.
