UNITEC Brings Intelligent Automation at the Center of Fruit Attraction Madrid; Angelo Benedetti Shares

MADRID - From the heart of Romagna to the international stage of fruit and vegetables: UNITEC, an Italian excellence recognized in more than 65 countries, is getting ready to give answers to the most demanding and expert visitors present at Fruit Attraction with automation and artificial intelligence technological solutions dedicated to the fruit and vegetables sector.

In an increasingly competitive market hit by climate variables, UNITEC remains a point of reference for selection, sorting, handling and packing of fruit and vegetables, proposing technologies that can respond to significant challenges: ensuring high quality standards and supporting packing houses as regards labor shortage, but most of all we help to improve profitability and loyalty towards distribution channels and end clients.

The latest development: Vision 4.0 AI

UNITEC, a worldwide leader company, keeps being committed to innovation and development of new and efficient solutions for internal and external quality selection of every kind of fruit and vegetables.

UNITEC installations equipped with UNIQ systems allow selecting internal quality, with high reliability, totally preserving the integrity of each fruit. A concrete answer to the market and final consumers' expectations, who pay more and more attention to ripeness level, sweetness and integrity.

One of the many pieces of technology of this edition will be Vision 4.0 AI, the latest evolution of UNITEC sorting platforms: a system boosted by artificial intelligence that allows detecting and separating external defects with a level of precision never reached before. The result: perfectly sorted fruit and vegetables, more consistency in standards, speed in processes and access to more profitable markets.

Angelo Benedetti's vision

"Many technological solutions to support European and global packing houses with the concrete aim to be on their side. Nowadays to generate 'results' nature is not enough, we need technology too!" states Angelo Benedetti, President of UNITEC, in a press release. "Only in this way can we ensure consistent quality levels that, providing satisfactory answers to consumers, will bring benefits to the entire chain."

The technologies we present in Madrid have a precise goal: promoting customer loyalty towards the fruit produced in Europe, especially in Spain and Italy. We do not limit ourselves to handling, sorting/grading lines: we look at the total project, from the field to the final palletization. We are developing an intelligence able to directly connect the packing house to the country, providing useful information to improve quality selection already in the field. Therefore, AI will be used not only during the handling stage, but also during harvest, with a connection to the large-scale retail channel and oriented to complete satisfaction of final consumers.

We aim at robotized harvesting solutions for apples, peaches, damson plums and kiwifruit, designed and built with a company culture that brings together innovation and concrete results for our customers.
