Raytec Vision continues to advance the state-of-the-art in food sorting technology. The Opportunity optical sorter, originally designed for peeled tomatoes, now reaches a new level, offering unique capabilities for potato sorting. This step opens up new horizons for producers seeking maximum control over the quality of their products.
At the heart of the innovative solution is the Infinity software, based on artificial intelligence technologies. It provides:
A full 360-degree inspection of the product, analyzing it from all sides and identifying the slightest defects.
A personalized assessment of each object, which significantly reduces the percentage of errors during sorting.
Continuous self-learning, allowing the machine to adapt to new challenges and improve its capabilities during operation.
With the ever-increasing demands on product quality, Opportunity offers a sustainable solution ready for future changes in the food industry.
Deep Learning and Process Automation
The key element of the technology is the use of Deep Learning for detailed quality control. Thanks to the roller conveyor (spin belt), the products rotate during movement, and matrix cameras capture images from different angles. This completely replaces manual sorting, increasing the efficiency and accuracy of the process.
Additional benefits of the system:
Flexibility in adapting to different types of products – Opportunity can be easily configured to sort not only potatoes, but also other vegetables.
Compactness and integration – the sorter can be easily integrated into existing production lines and interacts with other machines to fully automate the process.
High accuracy in detecting defects, including necrotic lesions, spots and other damage.
The future of the potato industry with AI sorting
The use of optical sorting based on artificial intelligence opens up new opportunities for potato producers. High control accuracy, process automation and the ability to adapt to various production conditions make Opportunity a promising solution for companies looking to improve the quality of their products and increase competitiveness.
