An **apple grading machine** powered by computer vision keeps quality consistent when manual teams cannot scale. ## Seasonal volume and the grading bottleneck In regions from Himachal and Kashmir to Washington and Poland, the same pattern repeats: mixed lots from orchard and cold store, buyers demanding uniform cartons, and export programmes with zero tolerance for wrong grades or hidden bruising. Manual grading slows the line, introduces subjectivity, and spreads damage when diseased fruit sits beside healthy stock. ## Grading criteria the system measures Intello FruitSort grades each apple in a fraction of a second: - **Size and weight** — calibrated bands for domestic retail, export, and processing. - **Colour** — blush, stripe, and background colour for variety-specific standards. - **External defects** — scab, russet, insect damage, stem cracks, and sunburn. - **Bruising and soft spots** — early diversion before spoilage spreads in the lot. Output is homogeneous, buyer-ready grades with traceability data attached — suitable for retail chains, exporters, and integrated packhouses. ## Throughput and accuracy Our [sorting and grading machine](https://www.intellolabs.com/products#il-sorting) delivers **95%+ accuracy** on configured parameters at throughput designed for seasonal peaks — from single-lane packhouses to multi-lane export facilities. Deployment models include capex purchase and opex-style arrangements for seasonal businesses. ## India apple belt and deeper reading For orchard context in Himachal, Kashmir, and Uttarakhand — manual grading challenges, disease control, and farmer pricing — see our detailed article: [Apple sorting and grading machines in India](https://www.intellolabs.com/blogs/apple-sorting-grading-machine-india?hsLang=en). ## Related solutions [Fruit packing machine](https://www.intellolabs.com/solutions/fruit-packing-machine?hsLang=en) · [Citrus sorting machine](https://www.intellolabs.com/solutions/citrus-sorting-machine?hsLang=en) · [Book a demo](https://www.intellolabs.com/demo?hsLang=en) See It on Your Line Book a demo and watch Physical AI sort, grade, or pack a real lot from your commodity.
