The Oculus is a compact three-drop sorter for any variety of potato, clean or straight from the field. Its rollers turn each potato so the cameras see it from all sides, with LED lighting tuned to specific wavelengths and imaging in visible and infrared light.
It runs Exeter Engineering's ID Technology, an AI-powered optical grading suite, and Exeter customizes the dataset for each customer's region and potato varieties. Operators work from a 24" touchscreen and can see in real time how a change affects the sort.
Exeter's figures: a drop of about 20 inches against about 40 on other machines, for less damage; flexible finger banks that last over twice as long as competing machines; 25% smaller than traditional sorters with 30% fewer parts; and operating costs 60% lower than competitors. Every Oculus is built in Exeter's California factory.
HJV Engineering fits the Oculus into existing lines or designs new lines around it.
