Innovations at Asia Fruit Logistica 2016: pocket-sized Fruit Scanner

SUNFOREST  one of the leading company in the field of non-destructive measurement of fruits’ maturity and sweetness will exhibit at Asia Fruit Logistica in Hong-Kong with innovation. Having a specialized career of NIR (Near Infrared Light) spectroscopy technology for over 10 years, company successfully has supplied numerous installations of non-destructive sorting systems to various fruit farms. In close cooperation with Korean government agricultural institutes, SUNFOREST developed portable spectrometers that easily and non-destructively analyze internal traits (Brix, DM, Firmness, color, etc) which contribute to fruit’s quality.

  Pocket-size Fruit Scanner P-100  will make its debut at the Asia Fruit Logistica 2016.  The fruit scanner has a miniature NIR spectrometer and light source.   Light source illuminates the sample, and Spectrometer collects the light reflected from the sample and produces a spectrum which is including the information required to capture interaction between projected light and molecules in the sample.  Spectrum data implies quality of the subject sample.
Using mobile App. interface, the spectrum data of a sample is transmitted from P-100 scanner to the Sunforest analysis engine on cloud server. This engine analyses the spectrum data, comparing it to reference data base and running it through the Sunforest algorithm. The analyzed output is interpreted into the quality (Brix level) of the sample and downloaded to the user’s mobile App.   P-100 is provided with pocket-sized device, affordable price, and easy operation, that can be a useful tool for users in a wide variety of situations i.e growers, supply chains, and consumers.
