Digital blueberry quality assessment
Blueberries are among the most delicate and perishable soft fruits in the supply chain. Traditional quality control relies on cutting, pressing, or visual estimation: methods that are slow, subjective, and destructive. Every berry you test to get an answer is a berry you lose.
OneThird changes this. Our scanner assesses blueberries in seconds, delivering objective data on internal and external quality without destructing a single berry. You can measure larger sample sizes in far less time, giving you a much more representative picture of each batch. The result is smarter allocation decisions, less waste, and higher revenue per batch.

Brix data & insights
Brix measures the sugar content of a blueberry and is a direct indicator of eating quality and consumer satisfaction. Our scanner measures Brix and delivers reliable sweetness data on every berry scanned without any cutting or preparation required.
Our scanner uses Near-Infrared (NIR) technology to evaluate the internal condition of each blueberry. Because NIR penetrates beneath the skin without damaging the berry, it provides fast, non-destructive Brix insights. This internal assessment is combined with AI models, resulting in the scanner delivering consistent, objective quality measurements in real time.

Blueberry visual inspection
Bloom, the natural waxy coating on a blueberry's skin, is one of the important visual quality indicators for consumers and retailers. Our visual inspection detects this among other visual defects. All objectively. Surface quality is one of the first things buyers and consumers notice, and inconsistent manual grading puts that at risk. OneThird's AI-driven visual inspection gives you objective, reliable quality assessments on every blueberry, eliminating the variability that comes with human grading.
The software evaluates bloom condition, mold risk, bleeding, and collapse against consistent criteria, automatically and within seconds. All early indicators of decay. Acting on this data before affected fruit moves further down the supply chain protects both product quality and customer relationships.
All the data you need in one dashboard
No more manual data entry. All quality results from your blueberry scans, including pictures with quality assessments, give an instant view of whether a batch meets your specifications.
All results are directly visible in the OneThird dashboard, creating a shared, transparent record accessible to growers, distributors, and retailers. This level of digitization reduces manual workload, speeds up allocation decisions, and builds the kind of supply chain consistency that keeps quality high.
Additionally, the data gives quality managers the insights they need to build analytical reports that reveal trends across varieties, suppliers, and Brix, shelf-life, or other parameters. Prefer to work in your own system? Results transfer automatically into your QMS via API.

Data-driven and instant testing
You already run quality checks on every batch. But if that means cutting berries, pressing for firmness, or relying on an operator's eye, you already know the limitations. Time-consuming, results vary between people, and the fruit you test cannot be sold.
OneThird removes those trade-offs. Same rigor, no product loss, and consistent results regardless of who's on the floor. All without any interference with your current QC process and fully transitioned within two months.
