Research & Development
In agriculture, where efficiency and quality are paramount, identifying and sorting objects like potatoes and stones can significantly impact productivity. Enter Clod and Tuber, a cutting-edge detection system we’ve developed to distinguish between these objects with remarkable accuracy. Leveraging advanced camera technology and machine learning, Clod and Tuber is setting a new standard for agricultural sorting, bringing both high-speed precision and plans for future innovation with a “tuber mode” that sorts potatoes by size for specific product uses.
Our system uses a straightforward yet robust approach powered by real-time image capture and analysis:
Camera Capture: A high-speed camera captures an image of each object, whether it’s a potato or a stone, providing the model with clear details.
Model Analysis: Leveraging machine learning, Clod and Tuber identifies characteristics such as shape, texture, and color to classify each object with 97% accuracy.
This seamless detection process, combining imaging and AI, delivers quick and accurate results for efficient sorting.
Our Clod and Tuber model stands out for its remarkable accuracy rate of 97%. After rigorous testing on thousands of samples, this model demonstrates reliable performance, reducing errors and safeguarding equipment from potential damage by foreign objects.
Equipped to process one image per second, Clod and Tuber provides the speed needed to handle up to 10,000 objects in large-scale environments, making it ideal for high-demand agricultural operations.
Our next milestone with Clod and Tuber is the development of a “tuber mode,” enabling size-based sorting of potatoes. This feature will:
Optimize Processing: By categorizing potatoes by size, “tuber mode” enhances product uniformity, essential for items like potato chips and fries.
Streamline Production: Automated size sorting reduces manual labor and improves overall production efficiency.
This expansion will elevate Clod and Tuber as an indispensable tool for potato producers looking to maintain quality and consistency.
Clod and Tuber offers unique benefits to farmers and processors:
Cost Savings and Consistency: Automation reduces labor costs and minimizes sorting errors.
Improved Product Quality: Uniformly sized potatoes translate to high-quality products, enhancing consumer satisfaction.
While Clod and Tuber currently focuses on potatoes and stones, its versatile technology opens up opportunities for broader applications, potentially enabling multi-crop sorting.
In agricultural sorting, Clod and Tuber represents a breakthrough for efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. With its impressive performance and exciting “tuber mode” development, Clod and Tuber is not just a sorting solution; it’s a pathway to smarter, more automated agriculture.
