At Kwekerij Vereijken, a Gearbox robot has taken over the quality control of tomatoes. Employee Yannick de Greef told WOS in a video that the machine has been there for about 4 months now. "We use this machine to take pictures of trays, and it tells us whether any tomatoes in them are damaged or are too light. If so, the robot sends them out, and they end up in another lane. A person used to do this job, but because they got distracted at times, some tomatoes with the wrong characteristics would still slip through when fifty trays of tomatoes had to be sorted."
