Overview of Products, Technologies, and Services

LUCAi™ from TOMRA Fresh Food is the next chapter in the performance of the KATO260. LUCAi™ is an advanced tool powered by artificial intelligence that enables the KATO260 to be even more accurate and selective when it comes to fine-tuning the quality of the pack. LUCAi™ artificial intelligence offers blueberry-specific trained characteristics for better classifications and more refined sorting thus providing robust classifications of premium quality product to meet increasingly demanding customer requirements.

Product Features

• Precision Selection
  Respecting the value of each individual berry meant developing the KATO260 with precision controls to support sophisticated grading criteria that exceed market demands. Experience the power of certainty across color, softness, bruising, decay, dehydration, stems, peeling and scarring. LUCAi™ is an optional add on for the KATO260 that is
  easy to use and sensitive to subtle defects in the fruit,such as dehydration, bruising, and early anthracnose. Complete surface inspection is vital to sorting precision. The KATO260 inspects 100% of the berry’s surface. Singulation of each berry is maintained while rotating under multispectral imaging cameras.
• Gentle handing
  Our intimate awareness of the delicate characteristics of the blueberry enables a design which emphasizes gentle handling. Fewer transitions equal better care of the berry. Anti-bruise surfaces ensure preservation of product surface and fruit bloom is kept intact.
• 360° Inspection
  Complete surface inspection is vital to sorting precision. The KATO260 inspects 100% of the berry’s surface. Singulation of each berry is maintained while rotating under multispectral imaging cameras.
• Profit & Value
  Improvement in efficiencies reduce labor processing costs thereby increasing profit and value. Precision grading enables you to optimize your harvest for maximum return.
