Traceability is no longer optional. Customers, retailers and regulations demand full transparency from field to fork. Ellips TrueSort 2.0 tracks every package from infeed to exit.๐Ÿ‘‡

Every product can be traced back to:
๐Ÿ‘‰The grower
๐Ÿ‘‰The field
๐Ÿ‘‰The batch

This gives you full control over the journey of your product.

โœ… Improve product quality
โœ… Prevent costly recalls
โœ… Support accurate grower payouts
โœ… Reduce food waste
โœ… Protect your brand reputation

For example, Elbe Obst uses TrueSort to generate SSCC codes for every package, with full data export to their ERP system.

From orchard to table, everything is traceable.
Because knowing where your product comes from is key to controlling quality.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿง…New customer Roorda Ternaard goes live with AI grading technology for onions. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Rising defect pressure, including Fusarium, combined with increasing labor constraints, is pushing onion growers to rethink their sorting process. At Roorda Ternaard, this led to the investment in a new Elisam onion grading machine, powered by Ellips True-AI.

Extreme weather conditions have made quality more variable, making it harder to maintain consistent standards. Especially with higher levels of Fusarium, this created the need for a smarter, future-proof solution.

๐Ÿ‘‰ This 4-lane machine (built in a 6-lane frame for future capacity) is designed to deliver consistent performance, even with higher defect levels and more variability in quality.

๐Ÿ‘‰ With Ellips True-AI, both internal and external defects are detected accurately, significantly reducing the need for manual sorting.

๐Ÿ‘‰ A strong collaboration between Roorda Ternaard, Elisam and Ellips, resulting in a solution that combines performance, flexibility and reliability.

We thank Yde Roorda and the entire team for their trust and look forward to a successful season ahead.

An Elifab 12-lane cherry sorting machine equipped with Ellips True-AI was installed to support high-performance cherry processing. The system enables accurate grading and consistent quality to meet export standards.

It supported efficient processing during the past season and helped Reina Sur handle peak volumes with confidence.

The setup is paired with Mat Exakta cherry packing machines, equipped with fully automated box filling systems, ensuring efficient and flexible packing.

Thanks to the Reina Sur team for the cooperation and trust throughout the project.
