Fruit Selection System using Artificial Vision (10 ES 27F4 3I0D)
A Spanish SME specialized in technological solutions for the agro-food sector, has successfully introduced in the market (Spain, Israel and North Africa) a device for the selection of fruits that uses artificial vision to check size, color, condition, cleanliness and health. The company is seeking industrial partners interested in the implementation of the system in its factory or to adapt it to specific needs.

A Spanish SME working in the fields of automation and prototype design has developed a device for the selection of fruits. This innovation uses Artificial Vision technology to select pieces of fruits according to their size, colour, condition, cleanliness and health.
A version of this device is currently being used in some areas (Spain, Israel, Mediterranean countries) as a perfect tool for the selection and separation of any kind of olives according to the parameters indicated above (size, colour, having spots or not, poor condition or not...)
The system can be adapted to select and process other fruits needs. In this case, it would be needed a timeline to develop it, but given the experience and mastery of the company in artificial vision, this could be done in a reasonable deadline.
Innovative Aspects:
- Cost saving.
- Higher number of reliable results achieved in the process (close to zero error margins).
- Improvement in the effectiveness and efficiency as the selection process is much more faster(the system capacity is 250 olives per second).
Degree of development:
Patents/Rights: Secret know-how
Requested Cooperation: Change in the partner sought's currently used technologies (installations, process, facilities), Absolutely novel process, Assembly, Engineering, Technical consultancy, Quality control, Maintenance, Testing of new applications, Adaptation to specific needs, New way to use an existing production line
- Type of partner sought: Companies, SMEs.
- Specific area of activity of the partner: Fruit Processing, Manufacturing of food machinery, Plants of selection and production of fruit.
- Task to be performed by the partner sought: Exploitation, Implementation and Dissemination of the Technology. Partners sought will contribute with their specific needs to the adaptation of the technology.
