Next-Generation Quality Control with Neolithics
With Neolithics integrated into AgroFresh's FreshCloud, packers have access to a technology that delivers quality assurance to match the speed and scale of the modern packhouse, turning inspection into a source of confidence versus risk. Neolithics' AI-powered imaging:
- Provides high-throughput inspection, from one kilogram per minute for berries to over six tons per hour for avocados, scanning every piece for internal and external quality.
