My jaw is in my lap at all of the technology to process blueberry's, and people have to wait six months for an operation. Also you work at sorting blueberries all day long and are driving home on the freeway. And all you see is a steady stream of blueberries coming at your windshield!! 🤪
It's amazing what technology can accomplish these days. When I was a child, my family grew raspberries by hand, which required a lot of labor, especially when gathering the berries.
i keep saying "automation" and like you said computer algorithms. programs designed to make something that was once complicated, simplified so a dummy can operate it.

While people in some corporations are reluctant to work with AI, it is already happening in the agricultural business! Amazing! It’s also good to know that blueberries go through multiple washings before they are packed.
And yet there are still unripe and bruised berries in the packages. AI is not perfect yet. Growing, harvesting etc. at this scale, comes with tons of plastic waste as well. The real innovations should be in the packaging industrie.
Funny thing is, just about nothing labeled AI is actually AI. This isnt even vaguely AI. It's just an advanced sorting algorithm that takes the data from images, and looks for certain patterns we've told it to look for.
It was proven by other buyer who saw the same identical fruit cases at the farmer market like the ones at grocery stores - brand names ! I’m the other person who saw it plus employees who told me used to work at California farms and know the business. Want to buy local farmer produces - get to know the farmer original owners who are easily accessible in person ! If not, then it’s commercial business - possibly not free gmo pesticide etc. Best is go and buy it at the farm lands not at farmer market or groceries!
Have you ever tried to find out how to distinguish genuinely local produce from commercially grown items at these markets? Do you think there’s a way for consumers to ensure they’re getting truly local and fresh produce, or is it often a matter of trusting the vendor?
Berries you pick yourself straight from the bushes are the tastiest and sweetest. As well as the fact that these berries from the forest do not have so many chemicals on them. The berry is a delicate fruit that should be eaten shortly after picking. To withstand transport and then weeks of storage in stores, chemicals must be sprayed. There are people here who have never picked berries in the forest and write that those from the forest are small and sour. This is complete nonsense, because no one collects unripe fruit from a bush (unless it is a machine) and there are areas where forest berries are similar in size to cultivated ones (I picked them myself).
My grandparents had a blueberry farm in Pennsylvania. I grew up picking blueberries every summer. I would earn about $40, which was a lot of money if you were 11 in 1966. I wonder what my grandfather would have thought about all this. I guess for me, I feel a little sad.
Have you ever thought about how your grandfather might have reacted to the changes in agriculture and farming practices since his time? Do you find that the nostalgic feelings you have about picking blueberries influence how you view modern farming and the changes that have occurred over the years?
You can take the seeds from the store brought blueberries and grow them, I grew a lot of blueberries that way and brought some other plants and the plants last for many years
So true! Automation is the only way that makes blueberry (or other fruits) processing beneficial. Labour costs, at least in Europe, Germany, UK or the Netherlands, kill growers. Thankfully, year by year, generation by generation, machines can easily replace people. I have been in the business for over 12 years, running a bluberry farm in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. In 2019 we turned to an all-coverage automation line (a digital sorter, weigh&fill machine, labeller, feed etc.) designed by Polish company Milbor. Truly recommend these guys - they know what they are doing. We use some equipment seen in the video - GP Graders sorter or G2 Evolution packing machine. Results? In our case - processing 420 tones of blueberry per season - the investment in the machinery returned in 3 seasons. Thanks to the machines, we dropped operational costs by 25-28% (depending on the year) vs the last year we processed blueberries manually with hired staff. It would not happen without automation and machines for sure. Automated equipment is a must nowadays.
What a long and hard process to just have such a healthy and very nutritional food to the market!! I pray to Allah that we appreciate all this effort and to do at least our part to not waste food or to not take good care of it . I pray to Allah to bless everyone who is not wasting food because it is not meant to be wasted. ❤❤❤
Why are these machines so good at reducing costs and efficiency but the blueberries are still super expensive at the store? All profits going to buying/maintaining the machines or are the CEOs taking too big a cut? Maybe they should go back to human sorting.
Saying "Human inspection represents the conclusive sorting stage where berries undergo a final examination to detect and remove any lingering defects or contaminants the ai detector machine or sorter may have over looked." just after praising how much better and faster, etc the machine is at detecting and sorting feels like a cop out for the company, if the machines were so much better you wouldn't have a human doing the final check... This is just another company trying to get costs down at the expense of everything else. They could employ people to sort it, but "that's too expensive" which actually translates to "I don't get as much profits, so I can't buy another yacht this year." None of these huge companies are struggling, the fact they can afford the machines in the first places shows that they're not struggling by any means.
Better profit margins are better profit margins. Even if it still requires people to do a touch up job, it greatly increases efficiency for the bulk inspection. It's faster and more accurate compared to the cost of operation.
Berries and other plants are great food for meat animals . My chickens live on tomatoes, squash and extra strawberries. I will never feed my animals anything other than whole foods.
In my store organic and regular blueberries have the same brand label on the packaging I wish I could see how is that being accomplished in the factory setting The same goes for a lot of other produce 🤔
Holy crap no wonder so many brands of blueberries are so beat up by the time they get to the grocery store. These things are being thrown around the conveyors like ping pong balls wtf
I would be interested in how AI is helping with sorting. I suspect its machine learning from an image library which isnt AI at all, but AI is what everyone likes to call any form of automation these days
"Impressive technology! It’s amazing to see how AI is revolutionizing the way blueberries are processed, ensuring efficiency and quality at such a massive scale. 🍇🤖"
Вот для чего нужна наука ,чтоб человеку труд облегчать! Это прекрасно когда есть такая автоматизация предприятия. Можно ведь и платить человеку хорошо и на работе мертвым не падать работая по 12 часов
I loved the process! However the only flaw I saw was the employees handling the open containers with ungloved hands, thus introducing bacteria to the blueberries.

as a small blueberry farm owner, I still see that ALL commercial blueberries are still sold UNRIPE even with Ai. When You wait week or 2 weeks till full ripening then each blueberry variety taste different, sweetness percentage is different etc. But UNRIPE taste almost same , without any character in it. fully ripened DUKE or NELSON is just insane taste comparing to unripe.
My father was an Agronomist who did research on row crops. He grew blueberries for home use and ate or put up about 25 gallons/year. Three or four times that quantity were given to others or were picked by friends. Berries were always hand picked and to the extent possible, only ripe berries were picked,.
Are they the blueberries that grow small plants basically on the ground, but the blueberry is blueish inside, unlike normal blueberries that are like clear/whiteish inside
Each tiny blueberry is scanned and analyzed..............amazing!!!
Blueberries have always been my favorite fruit. Thanks for sharing.
These bluebrries taste absolutely NOTHING 😂😂😂😂
Good job, Agricultural machinery is a testimony of human ingenuity
I love my cheap blueberries. Those boost up my morning.

My friend is addicted to blueberries. He is like a Hoover. He's going to Love this little video. I'll send it him. ❤
Like a hoover😂
I love the sustainable practices you use on your farm. So important!"
How they wrote this script tho.. Cutting labor cost will improve the consumer satisfaction... Lol 😂
(Increases CEO's bank account satisfaction)
Apparently all basic computer algorithms are now "AI"...
i keep saying "automation" and like you said computer algorithms. programs designed to make something that was once complicated, simplified so a dummy can operate it.

Yes any computer program is AI

Not so sure. We get unripe berries, squashed berries, small, med and large berries and berries with stems still on them - all in one bag.
WoW I shall look at the humble blueberry very differently from now on 😮
What stuns me is the amount of differently sized conveyor belts which apparently do nothing but transport the berries.
After watching this, I may have to rethink getting into the blueberry growing business.
The AI blueberry processing factory is really interesting, it's also the first time I've seen it
big buzz word now
It's not even AI, it's just an advanced sorting algorithm lol
I love it so much. Everyday I enjoy. South Korea. Thank you.❤❤❤
This is perfect for my friend. He has a serious weakness for blueberries - I swear he could eat them by the bushel. I know he'll appreciate this

Gorgeous blueberries😍
I like how commercialy grown blueberries are sold at farmers markets. Usually by crooks claiming they are sourced locally
How can you tell?
It was proven by other buyer who saw the same identical fruit cases at the farmer market like the ones at grocery stores - brand names ! I’m the other person who saw it plus employees who told me used to work at California farms and know the business.

Best is go and buy it at the farm lands not at farmer market or groceries!
Just grow them, I have 25 blueberry plants, they last for 50+ years.

I agree. It's different when you are picking them up freshly.
No, they are sour and small
not true, grandma
@rabbitfarmus People who have never picked berries themselves in the forest do not understand this.
Interesting video! Could we learn more about the safeguards in place to prevent the AI malfunctioning?

Why are you sad
Your grandfather would be very, very amazed 😳at the speed starting from collecting of blueberries to the end where they are packed. I know I am 😋

❤ Blueberries. This is so awesome!
The harvester is amazing❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whenever I see blueberry, I can't help but reminded of South park 😂😂
It’s mind-blowing how each tiny blueberry gets scanned and analyzed with precision. Technology makes even the smallest details incredible! 🫐✨
Really impression with your machine 🤩🤩🤩🤩
OMG, first time seeing this technology, very interesting
So this is how my store-bought blueberries are harvested. Cool.
You can take the seeds from the store brought blueberries and grow them, I grew a lot of blueberries that way and brought some other plants and the plants last for many years
Good job good luck then good life but quality and safety always first 👍🥳🎉😘
Love blueberries
Wonderful thank you 👍🎉
I put blueberries in my pancake mix, and a few on top of my oats in the morning.
Thank you for this video. Very interesting and good to know how my blueberries I purchase are prepared.
Seriously 😳 awestruck for real.
Que fruta preciosa.
The company has photo and documentation of every berry which passed its conveyor belt.

AI is needed to determine color differences?
How would you sort full ripe. from not berries, spoiled or damaged goof

it's normal in the food industry, not to use gloves because it gets dirty faster and need to change every hour, so....washing your hands is better
That is a misconception. Good hygiene is better and safer than wearing gloves. Gloves are used to protect the worker, not the food.
Where do you think blueberries grow????
я в 70-х годах ее собирал...в лесу с бабкой под -80-ть.чужая, что работала на -НКВД при -СССР....полезная ягода.....
How do they get the blue in there?
ok@@jay1373
In Finland, it's free to pick from forest and tax free when you sell it
But do they taste good? Lots tumbling, id be worried they be so soft when packaged
(they will be)
Farmers get paid 1 dollar a pound for blueberry and these big companies charge 8-10 dollars to ppl
Excuse me. Can i download video?
Gloria a ti,señor,por todo/ Viva Christo Rey
AI is like the new bluetooth. Blueberrytooth
These baskets are strategically placed onto the conveyors.
That machine is slapping those baskets
BEST BLUEBERRIES COME FROM PERU. JUMBO SIZE BERRIES AND THE FLAVOR IS AWESOME .
these are the blueberries with white interiors and more pesticides than vitamins left in them
In my store organic and regular blueberries have the same brand label on the packaging I wish I could see how is that being accomplished in the factory setting The same goes for a lot of other produce
We wouldn't have blueberries without Nvidia!!
Love my blueberries, I like the wild kind better though : )
lovely
What becomes of discarded berries?
No wonder most blueberries are soft. The crunchiest blueberries I buy are from Family Tree Farms.
Thank you for this video. Very interesting technology processing Machines
I am surprised how the berries don't get damaged by so many kicks and bumps. 😊
(they do)
I really like growing fruit trees
people at the end literally barehanded touching the berries xd i feel like this could be run way more efficiently
❤❤😍😍👍👍
Love berries
No gloves when picking them off the conveyer belt?

@@lovofarm Seems they do not collect them in the forests anymore.
I was a blueberry picker for 35 years ,yes my fingers are stained purple .
Cool
Wild blueberries in North America are grown in the Province of Québec and they taste much better than cultivated blueberries
Are they the blueberries that grow small plants basically on the ground, but the blueberry is blueish inside, unlike normal blueberries that are like clear/whiteish inside
These chain machines are amazing
• Inoculation with Starter Culture
• Specific lactic acid bacteria cultures are added to the milk.
• Incubation
Quality standards: Clarify the quality standards of the product, including taste, color, nutritional content, etc.
Complains about machine picking unripe fruit, later: discards perfectly fine fruit as excess to avoid market price downswing when market has glut.
wow
1:48 is that a cricket?!
Berries are good for the health
I guess "AI" means any machine that had electricity in it
Ai just means you’re using an algorithm to get an output.
