Exeter AccuVision 360
Exeter Engineering's AI-based quality grader for potatoes. It classifies defects such as discoloration, bruising and size inconsistencies in real time.
AI-driven potato grading and sorting, built in California
Exeter Engineering
Founded in 1978 in Exeter, California, and still family owned. Exeter Engineering builds the AccuVision 360 grader and the Oculus three-drop potato sorter, both of which HJV Engineering designs into potato lines.
Jeff Batchman founded Exeter Engineering in 1978 in Exeter, California, in the middle of the Central Valley's citrus country. Its first machines handled citrus; from there the company moved into root crops, vegetables and other fruit, and today it ships sorting and handling equipment around the world. It is still family owned and operated, led by Jeff's son, CEO Boomer Batchman.
What we build in from Exeter
The Exeter AccuVision 360 uses machine learning to classify defects such as discoloration, bruising and size inconsistencies in real time.
The Exeter Oculus is a compact three-drop sorter, built in Exeter's California factory in four sizes: 1000, 1300, 2000 and 2400. Its rollers turn each potato in front of the cameras for a 360-degree view, and Exeter's ID Technology tunes the grading to your region and varieties. Exeter puts its drop at about 20 inches, roughly half that of other machines, to reduce damage.
HJV Engineering lays out the conveying, inspection and packing around the sorter and ties it into the line's controls.
