“ches can pass through the eight STAQ cells each hour. The conversion of tons to peaches is not quite precise, since each fruit is different. As Lazaros Ioannidis explains, “We calculate in weight, not pieces. A peach weighs approximately 150 g, so 15 tons means 100,000 peaches per hour and 200,000 halves, more or less. And 3,600 of them can be rejected in that time.” What happens with the rejected peaches? “At the mo”

“At the Agrophoenix fruit processing plant in Greece, eight Stäubli SCARA robots do the opposite of cherry-picking: They pick peaches and select not the good ones, but the bad ones. The robots are part of the AI- and vision-based STAQ inspection system developed by Dutch startup QING . Eight parallel STAQ cells perform fruit grading at remarkable speed: during the season, they process a staggering 15 tons of peaches p”
