SiftAI
AI vision inspection for foreign-object detection and food grading
About
SiftAI, from Smart Vision Works (a KPM Analytics brand), is an AI-based machine-vision inspection system for food processing lines. It combines cameras, AI software, conveyors and automatic ejection to detect foreign material and grade product defects in a single pass, and a robotic-sorter variant picks out off-grade potatoes at up to 80-100 picks per minute.
Strengths: purpose-built for food with real deployment history in potato processing and reported throughputs around 63,000 kg/hour. Limitations: it's industrial hardware with industrial pricing and long sales cycles, and it solves one station on the line rather than end-to-end food safety.
