Visual inspection
strawberry & blueberry
Know the quality of every punnet in seconds
Instant, objective, and AI-driven visual inspection
Our AI-powered visual inspection counts every berry, determines individual size and size categories, and automatically detects defects like discoloration, dry spots, wet spots, and more. Up to 10 times faster than manual inspection, with objective results that stay consistent regardless of who is on the floor. One photo is all it takes.
What it detects
One photo gives you an instant, objective overview of your batch. The system counts every berry, determines individual size and size categories, and flags any visual defects automatically, making your visual QC faster, more consistent, and fully digital.
How it works
OneThird's visual inspection uses a lightbox combined with AI imaging to evaluate soft fruit quality in seconds. Take a photo, and the system instantly returns counts, sizes, and defect flags, matched against your customer specifications.
All results are automatically saved to the OneThird dashboard or can be pushed into your own quality management system, fully traceable and ready for reporting at any time.
Up to 10x faster than manual inspection
Speed matters in fresh produce. Soft fruits have a short window, and slow quality checks mean delayed decisions and increased risk of waste. OneThird enables visual quality control up to ten times faster than manual methods.
OneThird's visual inspection is designed to fit into your existing operation without heavy disruption. The technology is built for environments on the packhouse floor, at distribution centers, and in retailer receiving areas.
This level of digitization drastically reduces workloads, accelerates decision-making, and ultimately supports a more consistent and transparent supply chain.
Part of a complete quality picture
Visual inspection is already powerful on its own. But combined with Brix measurement and shelf-life prediction, it becomes part of a complete quality picture for every batch.
Start with visual inspection alongside non-destructive Brix measurement for sweetness assessment in strawberries and blueberries.
Add shelf-life prediction, and you know exactly how many days remain before spoilage.
Track this data over time and you can spot quality patterns per supplier, per batch, per season, all visible in one dashboard across your entire supply chain.
Together, these parameters give growers, distributors, and retailers a complete end-to-end quality view, with no destroyed fruit and no manual admin involved.

Which fruits does visual inspection of OneThird work for?
OneThird's visual inspection is currently available for strawberries and blueberries. The system detects defects, including bruising, mold, white shoulders or bloom, misshapen berries, discoloration, and assesses size uniformity and color intensity.
How does AI-driven visual inspection compare to manual inspection?
AI visual inspection screens batches up to 10 times faster than manual methods and applies the same objective standard to every batch. Unlike manual inspection, results do not vary by person or shift, and all data is automatically logged and available for reporting.
How quickly are results available?
Results are available within seconds and are immediately accessible in the cloud platform. Reports can be shared across supply chain partners in real time, increasing transparency and credibility.
Does it work as a standalone tool or only with other OneThird products?
Visual inspection is a fully integrated part of the OneThird and works alongside non-destructive brix measurement and shelf-life prediction. However, it can also deliver significant value for operations looking to digitize and speed up their visual QC process.
Where in the supply chain can visual inspection be used?
The tool is applicable throughout the supply chain: at the packhouse after harvest, at distribution and logistics centres for incoming and outgoing quality checks, and at retail receiving points.
How easy is it to get started with visual inspection?
Implementation is straightforward. Our team supports you through the full onboarding process, so your team is up and running quickly without disrupting your existing operation.
