Lone Wolf Farms loves their new Oculus
Oculus potato sorter
Uncategorized
We have recently installed several of our Oculus compact sorters around North America. Our customers are loving these sorters so much, we felt compelled to share a bit of feedback.
Lone Wolf Farms of Minto, ND recently added a new Oculus sorter. Lone Wolf’s Chris Bjorneby described a few of the ways that Oculus has improved their sorting:
• The ability of the Oculus to fully rotate the product underneath ID Technology cameras has meant better images and better sorting results the first time.
• They love Exeter’s ID Technology AI-powered grading suite and the fact that it uses an AI model we’ve tuned to regional defects/potato red skin found in their area, yielding superior results.
• The Oculus has a shorter drop than other sorters, so it is gentler on their No. 1 potatoes.
• The Oculus is easy to use. It has a flexible user interface and intuitive software. It’s fast and simple to run both AI-powered and “traditional” features, ensuring that each sort works right. And the 24-inch control screens enable operator to select any of the 21 features from a single-screen and see how the change will affect the ongoing sort, live.
• They appreciate our top notch customer service, from installation through operation. They were especially pleased to able to work directly with the software development team building their AI-model.
“We feel like we’re partners as much as customers,” Chris told us. “We appreciate the help that Exeter Engineering gives us to serve our own customers better.”

Exeter Engineering's ID Technology in the news

Exeter Engineering recently attended the Washington Oregon Potato Conference at the Tri-City Convention Center in Kennewick, WA. It was a great opportunity to join our friends and customers in the area to talk spuds. We also showed off our new ID Technology AI-powered optical grading suite of HD Cameras, custom-tuned LED lighting and proprietary software. ID Technology will leverage our superior integration between presentation and vision equipment to get the best images available. Better images mean better results: up to 97% accuracy after a single pass. And ID Technology’s easy-to-use controls will make it a snap for even new staff to get results that only experienced staff are able to achieve using traditional optical sorting techniques alone.
The event was great and we enjoyed seeing everyone. We even made the local news! We are looking forward to returning in the future. If you’d like more information about ID Technology or Exeter Engineering’s optical sorting equipment for potatoes, get in touch.
Exeter Engineering helps customers upgrade to the newest version of ID Technology
Uncategorized
CAMBRIA, WI – Teams from Exeter Engineering are working with customers across North America to upgrade their ID Technology system to version 2.07. One of our teams was recently in Wisconsin to help a customer upgrade their existing AccuVision sorters to the latest version of ID Technology. The customer had not previously used an Exeter Engineering AI-powered sorting system, relying on third-party add-ons in the past. We worked with the customer to develop a custom-engineered upgrade, featuring a new camera box to house the ID Technology 2.0 suite of multi-spectral cameras, custom-tuned LED lighting. We paired this upgrade in optical technology with an improved set of AI-powered controls and control interfaces.
Currently in the testing phase, these upgrades will reduce the customer’s sorting costs significantly, reducing reruns and providing superior, first sort results.
