ripeness
monitoring
Ripeness monitoring through Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) and spectroscopy assesses the ripeness stage of fruits and vegetables, optimizing harvest timing and reducing waste.
This method goes beyond visual inspection by evaluating internal chemical changes associated with ripening, such as sugar content and acidity levels.
Beyond’s HSI technology provides growers and distributors with precise ripeness assessments, ensuring optimal flavor and freshness for consumers.
benefits

how does it work?
HSI analyzes internal chemical markers of ripeness, providing accurate, non-destructive assessments for optimal harvest timing.
(a)
HSI evaluates internal sugars, acidity, and moisture levels, indicating ripeness.
(b)
Spectral data creates a ripeness map, showing variations across entire crops.
(c)
Algorithms predict the best harvest time based on ripeness data and environmental factors.
(d)
Growers receive instant feedback, enabling efficient and timely harvesting.
