Neolithics introduces AI produce inspection for vegetable growers

Neolithics has launched an AI-based produce inspection service designed to benefit vegetable growers by providing rapid, non-destructive assessments.

The technology offers minute-by-minute results on the quality, ripeness and internal condition of produce, helping growers and distributors make faster decisions.

By replacing lengthy laboratory inspections, the service improves the speed of produce assessments, already being used by major industry players. It evaluates vegetables without damaging them, analyzing key factors such as defects and dry matter content.

“Consumers are demanding fresh, high-quality produce,” said Dr. Timea Ignat, chief scientific officer of Neolithics. “By providing faster, more objective inspection results, vegetable growers can ensure consistent quality and increase efficiency.”

Available throughout the vegetable supply chain, the service aims to help growers improve profitability while reducing waste.

Israel-based startup Neolithics is an AI agri-tech company that works to optimize produce quality, safety and shelf life.
