Revolutionize your business with AI grading technology

Are you struggling to maintain high quality, manage your labor force, and meet production demands? You’re not alone. Many growers, farmers, and packers face similar challenges, often centered around three critical areas:

  • Quality: Are you consistently meeting your customers' high standards?
  • Labor: Do you have enough skilled workers to reliably grade and pack your harvest?
  • Quantity: Is your processing capacity sufficient to handle everything on time and maximize your margins?

If these questions sound familiar, it's time for a conversation.

Ellips AI grading technology helps you tackle key challenges with precise, automated solutions. It ensures consistent product quality, reduces labor dependency, and increases throughput. To highlight these benefits, Ellips created the Golden Grading Triangle. This visualization shows how Ellips technology transforms grading processes for forward-thinking professionals.

This is how AI delivers consistent superior quality

Are inconsistent quality and hidden defects threatening your market reputation? In today’s competitive market, achieving consistent superior quality is more challenging—and more essential—than ever. Based on over 35 years of experience and insights from over 3,000 customers, we've pinpointed the five major challenges that may be holding you back. 
 

  • Demanding market: Your customers expect high quality year-round, regardless of seasonal or batch variability.
  • Diverse defects and product characteristics: Defects come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, making them hard to spot without advanced technology.
  • Subtle imperfections: Some defects are nearly invisible to the naked eye, requiring advanced AI technology for accurate identification.
  • Evolving defects: Tiny, undetected defects can worsen after grading and packing, leading to major problems later.
  • Seasonal variability: Due to changing weather and growing conditions, fresh produce can suffer from quality inconsistency. Different defects can emerge each season, making detection complex.

What are the powerful benefits of True-AI?

True-AI is designed specifically to tackle these challenges, offering unmatched accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility in grading fruits and vegetables to the highest standards. 

Imagine your future with True-AI:

  • Save time and simplify operations. True-AI is designed to detect defects independently, freeing up your resources and making your life easier.
  • Identify defects and characteristics of any size, shape, or color, including subtle imperfections and evolving issues.

True-AI excels at detecting even the most challenging defects:
 

  • Potatoes: wireworm, compression bruising and mechanical damage.

How AI can reduce your labor needs

Struggling to find enough skilled labor to keep your business running smoothly, especially during peak seasons? You're not alone. Labor shortages can be a nightmare, leading to delays and inconsistent quality due to manual inspection errors. However, there's a solution with AI. 

Fully automated AI-driven grading process

With optical grading technology, you've already minimized the labor needed for sorting crops. Now, by upgrading to AI, you can fully automate this process, with minimal to no need for human post-checking. This means you can focus on growing your business rather than managing a labor force.

You can rely on AI

The secret to successful automation lies in accuracy. With advanced AI vision technology, you can trust that the system will perform better and more efficiently than manual checks ever could. The highly accurate technology allows you to rely fully on automation without human intervention. Don't let labor shortages hold your business back. Discover how AI can transform your sorting process today. Hayden Gibson, Director of Food Safety at Rivermaid:

"We no longer need to worry or spend resources extensively checking the fruit like we do on other lines. You can depend on AI—it practically runs itself when it comes to grading."

This is how AI improve your capacity

Ready to boost your processing speed even further? Imagine a world where your grading machine never has to slow down, even for uneven crop quality. With AI-driven graders, that world is here. Faster processing, greater efficiency, and lower costs for your packhouse. The company's AI grading technology accelerates defect detection with pinpoint accuracy, allowing you to handle more produce in less time and maintain high-speed operations.

Javier Contesse, General Manager at Allegria Foods​:
