Qcify AIR Features

Design & Performance

 

  • Ultra-Compact Design
    Qcify AIR features one of the smallest footprints in the industry and is engineered to minimize product breakage, ensuring product integrity from start to finish.
  • AI-Powered Sorting Performance
    Advanced AI algorithms drive intelligent grading and classification, adapting in real time to ensure consistent results across tree nuts, peanuts, and other food products.
  • Small pitch valves
    The Qcify AIR has 6mm pitch valves. This is Qcify’s smallest pitch size to history, making it even easier to remove small defects while minimizing the chances of false rejects.

Automation

 
  • Best-in-Class Optical Imaging
    Equipped with high-end industrial cameras on both sides for double sided inspection, the Qcify AIR captures ultra-clear visual data, enabling accurate sorting and superior defect detection.
  • Closed-Loop Automation
    Integrated into Qcify’s intelligent network, the AIR enables self-correcting feedback between machines through automatically adjusting sorting parameters based on upstream and downstream insights.
  • Fast ROI and Operational Efficiency
    By combining low labor needs, compact integration, and optimized throughput, Qcify AIR helps food processors achieve rapid returns while enhancing quality and food safety.

Application-Focused Performance

Qcify AIR is now tailored for key tree nut applications, including almonds, walnuts, inshell pistachios, and pistachio kernels. With industry-specific precision, the AIR delivers reliable, high-speed quality control that adapts to the unique characteristics of each product, helping boost efficiency and consistency.
