Pick-E Sorter · Drop-In Robotic Workcell

The whole line,in one cell.

The complete drop-in robotic cell for automated postharvest handling. Pick-E Sorter combines structured-light 3D vision, PolySkin tactile sensing, and on-board edge AI in a single unit — deployable into existing production lines with no infrastructure changes. It grades and handles produce in one motion, capturing per-fruit quality data as it works.

VISION

3D · per-pixel

Per-pixel segmentation and 6-DoF pose locate and orient every item at line speed.

TOUCH

PolySkin gripper

Tactile sensing grades firmness and ripeness and handles each item without damage.

COMPUTE

edge AI

Vision and tactile fusion run on-board — one GPU, no cloud dependency.

INTEGRATE

drop-in

Installs into existing lines with no infrastructure changes or re-tooling.

What You Get

i.See and feel

The only postharvest cell that fuses structured-light vision with multi-modal tactile sensing in a single pass.

ii.Per-fruit quality data

Firmness, ripeness, and defect signals captured at line speed — a data layer, not just a sort.

iii.Drop-in deployment

A single enclosure that integrates into existing lines, backed by Sensate's FANUC integration.
