“I’ve seen other packers hiring tech people just to run their software. We don’t need that. I could train someone smart on Ellips tech in a several days. It’s efficient, reliable and in a league of its own. If you’re looking to upgrade without replacing your whole grader, Ellips is the smartest retrofit option out there.”

What are the powerful benefits of Ellips True-AI?

Quality so consistent, your customers can’t resist

Your grader will be equipped with Ellips True-AI grading technology and the intuitive TrueSort software, ensuring fast and consistent results. With singulation, rotating cups and 3.2 megapixel HD+ multispectral cameras, the system captures a full 360-degree view of each fruit or vegetable. This results in accurate grading based on size, shape, color, weight, and both external and internal quality. Up to 30-90 images per product are analyzed with precision, ensuring highly reliable defect detection at full speed.

External defects fully under control with 360° precision grading

Ellips True-AI and TrueSort ensure every fruit and vegetable is inspected across its entire surface with exceptional accuracy. Advanced imaging technology identifies a wide range of external defects, even at high processing speeds. With precision down to 0.2 mm, you get consistent and objective grading results that reduce claims, improve pack-out and guarantee reliable quality for every shipment.

Internal defects have nowhere to hide

With light transmittance technology, you can grade the internal quality of fruit or vegetable and detect hidden issues. The IQ system performs high-speed internal scans, virtually slicing the product to reveal defects that impact internal quality. This helps you prevent rejections, reduce claims and maintain trust with your customers.

TrueSort: The software intelligence behind premium grading

TrueSort operates at the core of the system, turning camera data into real-time decisions that deliver consistent quality, higher pack-out rates and fewer manual checks. TrueSort allows you to fine-tune your sorting process to meet product specifications and market demands. This not only improves operational control but also enables you to deliver premium quality and achieve better returns. With its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with your packhouse management system, you gain efficiency, precision and peace of mind.

 

Full speed grading, regardless of product quality

Another key advantage of True-AI is the speed of the grading process. Previously, batches with uneven quality had to be processed at much lower speeds to ensure accurate defect detection. With True-AI, this is no longer necessary. You can maintain full processing speed while still detecting defects accurately, resulting in a significant increase in throughput.

"In the past, processing large volumes of cherries with inconsistent quality meant slowing down to find defects. But with True-AI, we can keep high speeds while improving throughput, making our operation much more efficient.”

Reduce labor dependency with advanced AI-driven grading automation

Optical grading has been part of fruit and vegetable sorting for years, but manual post-checking has often remained necessary to ensure quality. Ellips True-AI delivers highly accurate and consistent results, helping you drastically reduce manual rechecks and labor dependency. This helps you overcome seasonal workforce challenges, while improving overall efficiency, grading consistency and lowering operational costs.

Your operator’s new best friend

With Ellips True-AI, complex grading tasks become simple and easy to manage. The system works out-of the-box, with deep learning algorithms that automatically handle grading parameters, significantly reducing the need for operator input. When adjustments are needed, settings can be changed quickly and intuitively, ensuring efficient day-to-day operation. This allows your team to focus on higher-value tasks while maintaining full control when needed

Grading technology that gets smarter every day

Ellips True-AI continuously improves using real-world data from different seasons, varieties and growing conditions worldwide. Every new measurement helps increase grading accuracy and reliability across all installations. Customer feedback on rare defects, seasonal variations and changing market requirements is directly integrated into development. Supported by a team of 60+ vision specialists, detection models are continuously refined to ensure consistently high grading performance without additional effort from your team.
