The technology behind the sorting

Every Karevo machine runs an artificial intelligence that inspects each individual tuber. It spots defects, stones and clods in a fraction of a second and sorts exactly as strictly as you decide.

How detection works

  1. 1

    See

    Cameras photograph every potato and onion from several angles as it travels across the machine.

  2. 2

    Detect

    The AI checks every image for defects and foreign objects and rates how large and how severe each defect is.

  3. 3

    Sort

    The decision takes a fraction of a second: good produce moves on, while defective tubers, stones and clods are sorted out.

Tailored to your farm

We adapt the AI to your farm

Every farm is different: different varieties, different soils, different quality standards. That is why we don't ship rigid software – we adapt our AI models to the requirements on your farm.

  1. 1

    Images of your produce

    During commissioning we take images of your potatoes and onions – with your varieties, your soil and the defects that are typical for you.

  2. 2

    Trained on your requirements

    We use these images to train the AI further until it judges your produce the way you and your buyers expect.

  3. 3

    Improvements by update

    Improved AI models reach your machine as an update. No technician visit is needed.

  4. 4

    The AI keeps learning

    If the machine gets one wrong, report the tuber with a swipe on the screen. We use these reports to keep improving detection.

You stay in control

Operation is kept simple, so you can sort with confidence without any prior knowledge.

  • Recipes for every variety

    Save your settings for each crop, variety and preparation as a recipe and switch with a single tap.

  • You decide how strict sorting is

    Choose between focus on quality, balanced and focus on quantity – or set each defect individually, even while the machine is running.

  • Every decision is traceable

    The screen shows you the images of every tuber and the reason it was sorted out.

  • Statistics at the push of a button

    Quantity processed, quality rate and the most common defects – clearly laid out by product and time period.

The AI is in every Karevo machine

Duo85 and Trio110 use the same detection. Get in touch if you would like to know how the AI handles your produce.
