Exeter Engineering Partners With Universities For Potato Research

Exeter Engineering is a proud partner to agronomy departments at universities around the United States. Our latest partner is the University of Maine. They’re using our AccuVision 360 optical sorter to gather data for research on post-harvest storage of potatoes. They needed a machine to quickly and accurately sort their research crops, giving them a accurate and consistent results. The AccuVision 360’s combination of superior presentation and industry-leading AI-powered optical grading was exactly what they needed.

 

The AccuVision 360’s ability to grade for both external and — with our Hollow Heart Detector — internal defects is key to ensuring that the data collected meets the projects needs. With this data, the researchers at the University of Maine could potentially lead to offering superior potatoes to consumers, reducing food waste and eliminating supply-chain inefficiencies.
