Imaging Solutions For Harvest Quality Assessment

AI-powered quality grading and phenotyping for fresh produce and post-harvest analysis.

Our Solutions For Harvest Quality Assessment

Post-harvest quality assessment is a critical step in the agricultural value chain, where objective, fast, and repeatable measurements are essential to preserve product value and ensure consistency. From breeding validation to industrial grading and quality control, stakeholders need reliable data to evaluate harvested products without slowing down operations. Hiphen delivers advanced post-harvest phenotyping solutions that transform optical measurements into actionable quality insights. Hiphen designs image-based systems dedicated to non-destructive post-harvest quality assessment across a wide range of crops.

Client Success Stories

By combining controlled imaging environments with AI-driven image analysis, Hiphen solutions capture detailed visual and morphological information that reflects product quality, uniformity, and health status. This approach replaces subjective visual inspection with standardized, data-driven measurements that can be deployed at scale to create new standards about how plants and fresh produce are measured and described in the industry.

Linen Fibers Quality Assessment in Real-time

A tailor-made system and software to measure 4 key indicators of linen fibers quality (long fibers) and generate a standardized evaluation of every processed lot. Real-time image acquisition and processing enable continuous assessment of long flax fibre quality throughout the entire production cycle. Developed in close collaboration with the European Flax Alliance, the solution also includes a comprehensive traceability system capable of generating detailed batch records for each supplier, helping to maximize the value of every batch while providing buyers with a certified and standardized guarantee of quality.

Champagne Grape Disease and Quality Scoring in Real-time

Smart imaging system loaded with AI-powered detection models to score disease infestation in grape crates at harvest, to better organize the constitution of homogeneous grape batches before pressing the juice. The quality rating delivered by the Hiphen algorithms makes it possible to better control the quality of the batches of grapes before pressing and making the musts. It is possible to use the quality notes to reorganize the batches (while maintaining supplier traceability thanks to RFID chips placed on each case) to generate a reconstituted homogeneous batch. This new batch made from objective data makes it possible to assemble identical quality grapes, which can then be valued by oenologists to make the best champagnes year after year.

Use Cases For Post-harvest Quality Assessment

All Use Cases

Hiphen’s post-harvest solutions are designed to operate in real-world conditions, from sampling stations to high-throughput industrial lines. They enable the assessment of key quality traits such as size, shape, color, surface condition, defects, and disease symptoms, while ensuring full traceability of measurements. Whether used for experimental validation, supplier qualification, or routine quality control, these systems deliver consistent results regardless of operator or location. A major strength of Hiphen’s approach lies in scalability and integration. Post-harvest imaging systems can be adapted to different throughput requirements, from targeted sampling to continuous flow measurements. Data can be consumed in real time or integrated into existing information systems through dedicated interfaces and APIs, enabling seamless connection with grading, logistics, or decision-support tools. This flexibility allows organizations to align quality assessment with their operational constraints and business objectives.
