Stäubli Robots and AI Efficiently Inspect 100,000 Peaches Hourly at Greek Facility
- Published
At the Agrophoenix fruit processing plant in Greece, eight Stäubli SCARA robots are employed to identify and remove defective peaches using the AI-driven STAQ inspection system developed by Dutch startup QING. These robots operate at remarkable efficiency, processing approximately 15 tons of peaches per hour, which translates to around 100,000 peach halves inspected every hour.
This innovative approach is significant as it enhances the quality control process in fruit processing, allowing Agrophoenix to differentiate itself in the market. The company, founded in 2018, aims to revolutionize fruit processing with unique packaging formats and a focus on quality, as highlighted by their new production line for fruit balls and aseptic diced fruit.
Looking ahead, the integration of AI in the STAQ system allows for continuous improvement in the inspection process, enabling Agrophoenix to adapt to varying quality standards. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
