Opportunity: the AI optical sorter. The installation at @sicas.r.l.3595 | RAYTEC VISION SpA

OPPORTUNITY is an optical food sorter which exploits artificial intelligence (Deep Learning) for 360-degree product quality control.

Thanks to the roller belt (spin belt) that allows products to rotate and matrix cameras to capture entire frames of the rolling product, the software enables increased product quality, completely replacing manual sorting.

OPPORTUNITY is based on the principle of self-learning and can be adapted to the selection of different types of products. With its compact design and ability to communicate with other machines, Opportunity can be easily placed within processing lines to contribute to complete production automation.

OPPORTUNITY is capable of performing a real-time “identikit” of each product, on each side. This enables it to identify even the slightest defect and presence of necrosis in any part of the tomato.

The great advantage of artificial intelligence is that the machine is “trained” with the acquisition of many images and easily adapts to the growing needs of quality control.
This testimonial showcases how AI-powered optical sorting technology helps processors achieve superior quality control in the inspection of tomato products. By combining Deep

Learning with 360-degree product analysis, OPPORTUNITY improves defect detection, enhances food safety, and supports fully automated processing operations.
