Our Solution

Three-Phase AI Inspection
at EU Port Entry Points

A sequential, automated pipeline operating at 2–18°C for fresh food only — fruits, vegetables, meats, fresh fish. No frozen products.

PHASE 01
📦
Automated Unloading
WDX robotic system scans barcodes, detects visible damage. AI vision routes flagged containers to Phase 2.
Throughput 60 boxes/hr
→
PHASE 02
📡
Microwave Imaging (MWI)
2–4 GHz S-band microwaves penetrate sealed cardboard/plastic. Detects glass, metal, plastic debris without opening packages.
Scan time 1.2s/box
→
PHASE 03
🔬
Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI)
Specim FX17e camera, 900–1700nm SWIR. Detects pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria, mold — invisible to the human eye.
Detection 5 contaminant types
⚠ Development Targets: 92% detection accuracy and 500ms processing speed are prestudy targets (RVO Application V2601-12755). Not yet validated in field conditions. Current accuracy unconfirmed pending Q1 2026 technical validation.
