「Won an order from an agricultural cooperative」
Progress on the AI sorting system is described through an order from an agricultural cooperative for a product for seed potatoes. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「During the consolidated fiscal year, the company developed an AI sorting system for potatoes, including seed potatoes. Seed potatoes require particularly rigorous sorting for bacterial infections and other conditions compared with potatoes for consumption. The system uses proprietary sensors and AI technology to sort defective products and is expected to reduce the number of workers performing manual sorting and increase harvesting and sorting speeds.」
The company expanded the application of its AI sorting technology from conventional fruit inspection systems to a sorting system for seed potatoes using proprietary sensors and AI. - FY2021First statedAnnual report
「The main achievement during the consolidated fiscal year was the development of an AI inspection system installed on sorting machines. Previously, fruit damaged by rot, disease or pests was visually inspected and removed. By analyzing images of fruit captured by a camera against a vast accumulated data set, the system can instantly and automatically perform quality inspections equivalent to human visual judgment.」
The company describes for the first time the development of a sorting-machine system that uses AI to analyze fruit images against accumulated data and automate quality inspections equivalent to visual judgment.
