QC solutions available in the market today are fully manual. Clarifruit developed the “five levels of QC automation” roadmap. Level 1 automation is a digitized inspection process with manual input of data. Level 2 adds the automated inspection of external attributes, performed by Clarifruit’s patented computer-vision technology. These are what Clarifruit Gen 1 currently offers. Level 3 adds the automatic identification of defects, which is Gen 2 for the Clarifruit platform. Level 4 adds the automatic identification of internal attributes to the process (e.g. through NIR or Hyperspectral technologies), and Level 5 will include the identification of pesticides.
