Vision Systems for Fruit and Vegetable Sorting

Produce sorting requires fast, accurate decisions powered by robust imaging. FRAMOS provides fruit sorting vision systems designed to classify every item in milliseconds—by size, shape, color, and quality. Our solutions are trusted in high-volume grading lines where precision equals profit.

Every Millisecond Matters on the Conveyor

Why Vision Is Critical in Produce Sorting

In fruit and vegetable processing, consistent quality means more than just aesthetics—it ensures food safety, reduces waste, and maintains customer expectations. High-speed conveyors don’t allow second chances. Fruit sorting vision systems must deliver sharp, synchronized images across multiple angles, enabling classification by visual traits and hidden flaws.

Vehicle imaging system deployed in urban infrastructure
  • Shape and Size Analysis

    • Overhead and lateral imaging defines object geometry in real time
    • Sub-millimeter measurements based on calibrated optics and motion sync
    • Supports precision-based grading by diameter, length, and aspect ratio
  • Color Sorting and Maturity Detection

    • High-resolution RGB sensors detect ripeness levels and color deviations
    • Evaluates uniformity and spot defects against defined grading thresholds
    • Distinguishes sunburn, bruising, or chlorophyll loss on produce skin
  • Surface Defect Inspection

    • Global shutter technology freezes motion for crisp, detailed surface evaluation
    • Detects blemishes, decay, insect damage, and foreign residue
    • Pairs with strobed or angled lighting for enhanced defect contrast
  • Multi-Angle and Multi-Camera Setup

    • 360° view using synchronized cameras for full object coverage
    • Combines top-down and side imaging for 3D model-based grading

Building for Speed and Reliability

Technical Features Needed in Sorting Lines

Sorting equipment must operate at industrial pace without image drift, calibration loss, or environmental sensitivity. FRAMOS delivers fruit sorting vision systems engineered for real-world conditions—dust, humidity, and round-the-clock use.

Global Shutter and High Frame Rates

  • Eliminates blur at conveyor speeds over 1 m/s
  • 100+ fps enables frame-perfect classification and separation

NIR and Multispectral Imaging

  • Enables early detection of internal bruising, ripeness, or spoilage
  • Combines data from visible and non-visible spectrums for higher accuracy

IP-Rated and Dust-Resistant Modules

  • Modules rated for industrial hygiene—dust, mist, and wet cleaning
  • Passive-cooled and sealed enclosures ensure performance uptime
