Upgrading a Date Sorting Process using Optical Sensing From Manual Labor to High-Throughput Automated Internal Quality Analysis How long do you inspect an apple at the store before it ends up in your basket? How much time is spent determining the apple’s quality before it makes it to the store? Today’s consumers expect their food products to be high quality -- and consistently so. Fortunately, companies such as Ocean Optics are using advanced optical sensing tools and analytics to improve the quality of food for consumers and the quality of business for food processors and sorting machine manufacturers. Traditionally, food sorting has been managed manually, relying on the expertise of workers to make some judgment of quality. The introduction of optical scanning and spectroscopy has adde
