JDC offers grading solutions for at many European onion producers and believe optical grading is a more efficient and accurate way to ensure quality in onions.
The company programs in all the quality factors, in conjunction with the conditions; a brown spot on an onion, following a dry period, may indicate a different deviation compared to a brown spot following a year with more rainfall. The camera system combines colour and Near Infra Red to be make more precise decisions regarding the quality of the product.
JDC claims that "the main advantage of their system over others is that there is no "learning" period and the system can operate from day one since it does not operate on trial-and-error."
Selecting based on internal quality
"The Elisam grading machine is able to detect internal defects as well", says Bas Ruygrok. "The program also undergoes constant further development, like data from experience with twins / doubles was recently acquired and incorporated in the software."
JDC automation
"Automated processing of onions revolves around a well designed process where all elements are perfectly attuned and the line keeps going under all conditions. JDC’s engineers know the critical points of this process. With clients, they create the best and most suitable grading solution and incorporate such solution in the design and eventual configuration of the line." The JDC Automation program them provides real-time insight into the entire line’s processing. "Thanks to the communication between the machines, the entire line functions in an interconnected fashion, guaranteeing optimal performance."
JDC supplies grading machines to onion producers who don’t want to wait on the future, but want to get started, the innovative way, without delay.
