Pomegranate — quality detection


Defects detected on Pomegranate, each identified separately and sorted out as required.

Every defect is recognised separately


The system does not simply split produce into "defective / sound". It recognises each defect type on its own and distinguishes them from one another — russet is not treated the same as sunburn, a bruise is not treated the same as rot.

Tarend's AI integration runs on models trained with deep learning. Because those models are trained on real production data gathered from many machines, across multiple seasons and varieties, accuracy is very high and does not depend on operator experience. As the dataset grows, the system becomes more accurate every season.

The sorting decision stays yours: the operator selects on screen which defect is rejected and which grade each one goes to. The same line can run with different quality thresholds for different customers and markets.

External quality

External quality defects


Each image shows a different defect. These surface defects are detected by high-resolution multi-spectral cameras that scan every surface of the produce.

Internal quality

Internal quality defects


Internal quality is measured without cutting: concentrated light is transmitted through the produce and the spectrum of the transmitted light reveals the internal condition.
