In agriculture, efficiency and product quality are crucial for success. Sorting objects such as potatoes and stones can dramatically influence productivity, consistency, and equipment safety. Clod and Tuber is our advanced detection system designed to accurately distinguish between potatoes and foreign objects using cutting-edge camera technology and machine learning. With an impressive accuracy rate and an upcoming “tuber mode” for size-based potato sorting, this system is setting a new benchmark for agricultural automation.
How Clod and Tuber Works: The Detection Process
Clod and Tuber uses a fast, intelligent workflow built on real-time image capture and AI-powered analysis:
1. Camera Capture
A high-speed camera photographs each object, whether a potato or a stone, capturing detailed visuals needed for precise classification.
2. Machine Learning Analysis
The system analyzes shape, texture, and color to identify the object type. With 97% accuracy, Clod and Tuber reliably distinguishes potatoes from stones, ensuring consistent sorting and protecting equipment from potential damage.
This AI-driven process delivers rapid, highly accurate results, making it a strong asset for large-scale agricultural operations.
Outstanding Accuracy and High Performance
Clod and Tuber’s reliability comes from extensive testing on thousands of samples. Its 97% accuracy helps minimize sorting mistakes, safeguard processing machinery, and maintain consistent product quality.
Operating at one image per second, the system can handle up to 10,000 objects, providing the speed required for high-demand environments and large facilities.
Upcoming Innovation: “Tuber Mode” for Potato Sizing
The next major enhancement for Clod and Tuber is tuber mode, a powerful feature focused on size-based potato sorting. This update will:
- Optimize processing by categorizing potatoes into size groups
- Improve product uniformity, crucial for fries, chips, and other potato products
- Reduce manual labor through automated size detection
- Increase production efficiency from end to end
Tuber mode will help potato producers achieve higher consistency while improving quality control.
Key Advantages for Farmers, Manufacturers, and Food Processors
Clod and Tuber delivers several impactful benefits:
Cost Savings and Consistency
Automation reduces manual labor demands and minimizes sorting errors.
Higher Product Quality
Uniformly sized potatoes lead to better, more consistent food products and improved customer satisfaction.
Equipment Protection
Detecting stones prevents machinery damage and operational downtime.
Future Applications Beyond Potatoes
Although Clod and Tuber currently focuses on detecting potatoes and stones, its underlying technology makes it adaptable for multi-crop sorting. This opens the door to future expansion across various agricultural products.
Conclusion: A New Standard in Agricultural Sorting
Clod and Tuber represents a major advancement in agricultural automation, combining speed, accuracy, and scalability. With its current high-precision detection capabilities and upcoming tuber mode for potato sizing, it stands as more than just a sorting solution. It’s a major step forward in building smarter, more efficient agricultural systems.
