Dedicated lighting
Light chosen to reveal what matters on each product.
Spectral sensors
A measurement that goes beyond the visible.

Freescan for cherry tomatoes, part by part
Scroll down: follow the tomatoes from crate to bin, one unit at a time.
Robot and crate tipper
A 4-axis robot picks the full crates from the pallet and sets them lengthwise on a conveyor that carries them up to the tipper. As soon as two crates are in place, the drum turns and gently empties the tomatoes onto the belt.
Cleated elevator
An inclined cleated belt gently lifts the bulk fruit to the machine infeed.
Aligner
Stainless-steel dividers spread the tomatoes across the machine's eight lanes.
Roller chains
Each lane is a chain fitted with spool rollers: one tomato between two axles, tracked to its exit. The rollers turn it to show every side.
Electrical cabinet
At the entrance to the vision cell, the cabinet carries the touchscreen: the whole line in real time, and one recipe per variety.
Vision tunnel
Cameras and controlled lighting: every tomato is seen from every angle, and the AI judges size, colour and defects.
SWIR cell
A short-wave infrared sensor measures what the eye cannot see, deep inside each fruit.
Ejection
In front of its station, a short air jet lifts the fruit out of its cup without touching it.
Outlet stations
One station per outlet: a belt runs under the chain and carries each grade to its crate, all on the same side. On the other side, an empty crate waits to take over.
The machine
From crate to bin, without hesitation.
Fruit moves forward one by one on several lanes. Each one is tracked from the camera to its exit.

01See
Colour and infrared cameras, controlled lighting: every fruit is photographed from several angles as it rotates.
02Measure
Size, colour and defects recognised by a neural network and, for dates, infrared moisture.
03Decide
Each outlet accepts a size × colour × quality combination. A fruit with no possible place goes round again; it is not lost.
04Eject
The ejector at the right outlet fires at the exact moment the fruit passes.
Freescan software

A touch interface designed for the shop floor: large buttons, statuses readable from afar, and settings that stay in the hands of authorised people.
Real-time production monitoring
Grading status, bin filling, breakdown by size, colour and quality, camera images.
Adjustable colour
Hue histogram, thresholds set by touch.
The operator confirms
A doubtful defect? Yes or no: the AI learns.
AI on GPU
Neural networks trained on your fruit, running on a graphics card.
Ejection matrix
Each outlet, its own size × colour × quality combination, set on screen.
