Australian company’s technology detects defects and evaluates freshness

GoMicro’s AI-powered quality assessment technology is assisting leafy green suppliers to improve their standards and deliver fresher products.

The South Australia-based AI technology company is standardising and streamlining quality assessment, providing suppliers with objective, verifiable results at every stage of the supply chain.

Sivam Krish, the founder and chief executive of GoMicro said the company’s technology not only accurately detects defects but also evaluates the freshness of green leaves, ensuring that only the highest quality products reach supermarket shelves.

“Human assessment has its limits,” said Krish. “It’s based on subjective decisions that we strive to make objective. Our technology bridges this gap, providing consistent and reliable quality assessments.”

Growers invest considerable effort to meet supermarkets’ stringent freshness standards through rigorous quality assessments. Harnessing technology can reduce variability.

“The ability to be consistent and objective in our assessment of harvested raw material allows us to deliver fresh, high-quality produce to our customers. This objectivity is a significant step forward to raising fresh produce supply standards,” said Mike Fielden, chief executive of Boratto Farms, an early adopter of GoMicro’s technology.

GoMicro’s AI technology extends beyond leafy greens, offering the capability to assess the quality and freshness of a wide range of fruits and vegetables. Its portable, phone-based design employs patent-pending technology, delivering the precision required to identify even subtle defects in fresh produce.
