Tridge summary

Large retailers are marketing products as 'fruit selected by artificial intelligence (AI)' through the use of AI sorting technology, which has improved sorting accuracy and increased sales. The technology, used by Lotte Mart and Supermarkets, sorts fruit based on various criteria and has reduced labor costs and increased packaging efficiency. However, concerns have been raised about the potential burden of introducing AI sorting machines and the need for more data for AI learning to improve selection quality and verify the effectiveness of the technology in improving agricultural product quality and increasing farm income.

Some large retailers are carrying out marketing campaigns with products such as ‘fruit selected by artificial intelligence (AI).’ On one side, there are expectations that it will be an opportunity to increase farm income through high-quality fruit selection, but on the other hand, there are concerns that it will be an additional burden on the production areas, such as being virtually forced to introduce AI sorting machines. ◆What is AI sorting? The AI sorting system is a technology that is a step forward from the existing non-destructive sweetness sorter. By applying AI based on deep learning (a technology in which computers learn by combining and analyzing external data on their own) to a non-destructive sugar content sorter, sorting accuracy has been improved. Previously, non-destructive sweetness sorters measured weight and sugar content, and sorters visually checked color and shape to sort fruit, but AI sorters take cross-sectional pictures with high-speed cameras to ...
