TOMRA continues to develop its LUCAi™ Deep Learning AI platform, first introduced in 2017, to expand its applications across solutions; the first of these is Spectrim X series.
Developed by a team of industry-leading scientists, engineers, researchers and experts, Spectrim X series brings to the apple market TOMRA’s extensive knowledge and collective experience developing commodity-specific AI powered solutions.
Deep Learning technology uses pre-trained models to teach computers how to process data, such as complex patterns in photos. Spectrim X series assesses thousands of high-resolution, multi-channel fruit images every second. Then it cross-references what it sees with vast amounts of data to make grading decisions to meet precise market demands.
This data has been captured from TOMRA machines across the globe and precisely labelled by TOMRA’s Data Science Team. During 18 months of real-world testing in the USA, and New Zealand,
Spectrim X series showed a significant leap forward in performance compared to its predecessor.
The next LUCAi™ release will focus on cherries—adding Deep Learning technology to the InVision2 cabinet. TOMRA’s LUCAi™ will then improve operations across other commodities, including avocados, cherries, citrus, kiwifruit and stone fruit.
