Gearstation Quality Control -Fruit & Vegtables

The GearStation tomato is an in-line solution for quality and weight control of tomatoes. The unique Vision AI software assesses each box and sorts by colour, quality and weight. Automated sorting of crates makes it possible to structurally reduce sorting costs. In addition, eye workers can be specifically adjusted based on data rather than random samples. The result is less product loss, more efficient deployment of personnel and a higher margin per box.

Insight into harvest worker data -driven coaching and objective bonus remuneration

Understanding crop diseases and pestsin relation to the harvest path

Choosing between weight and volume charges per box

Improvement in overall delivery quality

Our GearCore software platform assesses whether the product meets the necessary quality standards. Both vision and AI techniques are used for this purpose. You determine the quality standard for this assessment yourself via the user-friendly control interface. Each quality characteristic can be set separately. This prevents the wrong product from ending up with the customer.

• Up to 40% labour savings

• Consistent quality assessment of 2,500 boxes per hour

• Reduces claims

• Can be integrated into existing processing lines from TAKS, NEXT, Viscon, etc.

• Suitable for boxes, punnets, trays and crates

Real-time data and reports

Real-time insight into harvested quality and container weight per hour, day, week, month, year per cultivation location, path number and employee.

The GearStation 5 kg box ensures 100% in-line quality inspection of the work delivered by man and machine. This adds an objective quality measurement to the work registration and directly saves labour at the weighing station. The 30×40 and 60×40 cm boxes containing, for example, vine tomatoes that are of the correct weight and quality can now be palletised without human intervention.

The link to the labour registration system allows harvest quality to be further improved through targeted instruction of individuals. At the same time, we collect crop information about time per greenhouse, cultivation and season.
