Artificial intelligence at the service of agribusiness
Every farmer and packer dreams of their potatoes and onions meeting perfect quality standards. However, in reality, seasonal changes, weather conditions and different varieties lead to fluctuations in crop quality. At the same time, buyers expect a stable level of production, and labor shortages and stricter regulations only increase the pressure. How to cope with these challenges?
The solution is offered by Elisam-Ellips, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based sorting technology that helps agribusinesses optimize processes, increasing quality and efficiency.
Quality control, cost reduction and reduced dependence on labor
Automated sorting of potatoes and onions using AI helps not only to maintain high standards, but also to reduce production costs. According to Levi Bakker, sales manager at Ellips, their equipment is already trusted by the largest farms around the world.
“Quality changes with each season, batch and variety, but customers always expect perfection. Defects vary in shape, size and colour, and some only become apparent later. With AI technology, every tuber and bulb is carefully checked and sorted, ensuring consistent product quality.”
High-precision sorting: sees even the invisible
AI solutions from Elisam-Ellips provide:
360° scanning of each vegetable thanks to the advanced AGF Ellips cameras;
Analysis of the internal condition of the product with the detection of hidden defects;
Automatic calibration by size, shape, colour, weight and other parameters.
According to Bakker, the use of True-AI allows detecting even the most complex defects, thereby reducing losses, increasing profitability and guaranteeing the supply of premium potatoes and onions.
Sorting for all types of potatoes and onions
Elisam AI is suitable for processing any variety and size of potatoes and onions, ensuring consistency of quality from batch to batch. It is a long-term solution that helps farmers and processors stay competitive in the market by automating processes and increasing their efficiency.
Faster, more reliable, more efficient
In the agricultural sector, time is of the essence, and with Elisam-Ellips, every minute is used to maximum effect:
Speeding up sorting processes without losing quality;
Automation and reducing dependence on manual labor;
Flexibility in processing different product categories.
With the use of AI, even lower-quality batches can be efficiently sorted, giving processors the opportunity to minimize losses without slowing down their work.
Full automation – fewer worries about labor
The shortage of personnel is one of the main problems in the agricultural sector. Fully automated sorting technology helps farmers and processors spend less time managing personnel and more time developing their business.
According to Bakker, the implementation of Elisam-Ellips AI solutions allows companies to increase profitability, minimize human errors and automate key processes, which is especially important in a changing market.
The future is in technology: are you ready to take a step forward?
Sorting machines with AI technologies are already becoming an integral part of modern agribusiness. By investing in such solutions, potato and onion producers not only receive more accurate quality control, but also save resources, reducing dependence on seasonal factors and the human factor.
