1 photo and AI technology: how Quality Insights is reinventing quality control

Faster, more objective, and scalable for every step in the fruit chain

Assessing fruit quality is traditionally a human task. But inspecting, sorting, and recording a crate of strawberries takes time. And it depends on who is doing the inspection. Thanks to Quality Insights from Optiflux, this process is now much faster, more objective, and more consistent—with just one photo.

How exactly does Quality Insights differ from traditional quality control?

1. Faster from image to decision

A classic quality control process takes minutes per crate. With Quality Insights, that check takes just a few seconds. One photo of the top layer is enough to immediately generate a quality report: including color distribution, size distribution, and visual defects.

2. Objective data instead of personal interpretation

Every inspector looks at fruit with a slightly different perspective. That’s logical, but it leads to subjectivity further down the chain. Quality Insights uses AI and vision technology and assesses according to fixed algorithms. Without preference, without fatigue, without interpretation. This makes your results measurable, reproducible, and reliable. And that makes communication with buyers and suppliers much more transparent.

3. More confidence among your employees

Fruit inspection is a profession in its own right. Especially when you work with different types, varieties, and markets. For new employees, it’s a steep learning curve. With Quality Insights, you can build that process step by step. They learn faster, can process many more pallets in the same amount of time, and make more substantiated assessments. Your team works more efficiently and with more confidence. Without you having to relinquish your expertise.

4. One report, multiple goals

The power of Quality Insights lies in its flexibility. As a grower, you can use it to quickly check your harvest. As a cooler and packer, you can use it to divide batches logically. Or as an end customer, you can use it to assess packaged fruit immediately upon delivery.

One image provides quality data that can be used for inventory management, buyer matching, and quality assurance for your customers.

5. Automatic and hands-free with fixed cameras

Want to go one step further? With a fixed camera setup, you can automate the entire inspection process. Forklifts or trucks drive under the camera and are scanned automatically. The system analyzes in real time and immediately sends a quality report to the cloud platform. Perfect for larger volumes or streamlined processing at the gate.
