AI-Driven Defect Detection for Almond Producers
Perfecting quality control
Almond producers faced significant difficulties in identifying and separating defective almonds from good ones. The manual inspection processes were time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error. This inefficiency not only affected product quality but also increased operational costs, making it harder to maintain productivity.
AI-driven defect detection by Borde
Freestone partnered with Borde to develop an AI-driven defect detection system specifically for the almond industry. This solution used advanced machine learning algorithms to analyze high-resolution images of almonds, accurately classifying them as defective or good based on predefined quality criteria. The system was seamlessly integrated into existing production lines and optimized for real-time defect detection, significantly improving accuracy and efficiency.
