Openscience in Agriculture: See Some Success Stories in Food Product Quality Assessment

Modern agriculture has significantly evolved with technological advancements, and data analysis has emerged as an essential tool for optimizing the analysis of agricultural products. Openscience is at the forefront of this transformation, utilizing data science, engineering, and other sciences to boost companies in the agricultural sector. Among Openscience's success stories are the precise identification of defects in tomatoes, soybeans, and coffee, demonstrating the power of these technologies in improving the quality and efficiency of agricultural production.



Defect Analysis in Tomatoes

One of Openscience's success stories involves analyzing tomatoes for defect identification. Using spectral images that capture information across various bands of the electromagnetic spectrum through equipment developed and adapted for this purpose, it was possible to detect a variety of defects. Data science enabled a quick and accurate interpretation of these data, identifying issues such as rot, physical damage, and the ripening stage. This non-destructive, fast, and efficient method resulted in a 90% accuracy rate in the quality identification of processed tomatoes.


Defect Identification in Soybeans

An additional success example is the analysis of soybeans for defect identification. Openscience developed a custom system that uses hyperspectral images to inspect soybeans in real-time, applicable both in factory lines and in the field directly for the farmer. The images are processed through an easy-to-use graphical interface, allowing precise detection of defects such as stains, cracks, and impurities. This system not only offers highly accurate analysis but also significantly reduces the time and cost of the process, making it a viable solution for both soybean producers and processors.


Defect Evaluation in Coffee

Openscience is also a partner of the coffee industry, bringing innovative solutions for defect identification in coffee beans. Using in-house developed equipment, spectral images, and custom interfaces for this purpose, a variety of defects in coffee beans were identified, including impurities, pest damage, and mechanical defects. The rapid acquisition and processing of data ensure efficient analysis, resulting in improved coffee quality and, consequently, higher consumer satisfaction.


Grain and Food Analysis in General

Besides the mentioned success stories, Openscience stands out for developing custom equipment, interfaces, and solutions for analysis in production lines or academic environments. These devices, adaptable to the specific needs of each application, allow continuous and automatic inspection of agricultural products during processing, identifying defects, ripening levels, and even monitoring processes. The combination of low cost, high efficiency, and rapid data acquisition makes our solutions an ideal choice for all seeking innovation and quality.
