FEATURE Machine Vision
The Scorpion 3D Neural Camera can elevate the presentation of retail packaged fresh produce and reduce the waste associated with inconsistent trimming
to create an electronic 3D model of the vegetable. This 3D image processing is then combined with AI to power intelligent objective decision making and incorporated into Scorpion’s proven automation platform.
Besides leek trimming, these are some of the applications in which Scorpion excels:
• Lettuce de-coring: a 3D lettuce de-corer analyses the lettuce in real time, calculates the position of the heart and directs a robot to extract it with an ultrasonic blade. • Sprout trimming: sprouts have to be optimally cut so that only the outer layer of leaves falls off . This level of precision

can only be achieved with bespoke AI, as opposed to an off -the-shelf camera with AI. • Carrot batoning: using 3D vision in tandem with AI allows the carrot to be measured up before it is batoned to eliminate any margin for error and waste. • Swede slicing: similar in principle to the leek-trimming application, this system deploys robots equipped with AI- optimised 3D machine vision to top and tail swedes quickly and accurately. Scorpion Vision’s advanced stereo vision and neural network solution, the Scorpion 3D Neural Camera, can achieve repeatable precision when trimming vegetables. Combining 3D imaging with AI translates directly to bottom-line benefi ts for farmers, processors and packers through higher yields and reduced reliance on manual labour. It also allows these businesses to guarantee unprecedented product presentation and deliver on sustainability metrics, as waste resulting from inaccurate cutting is slashed to virtually zero.
