- čas přidán 14. 01. 2024
- Have you ever wondered how blueberries are grown and processed on a large scale? More than 200 million pounds of blueberries are produced each year in North America. In this episode, we will explore how the blueberries are harvested with huge machines, and how they are sorted, washed, and packed. Advanced AI sorting scanners play a crucial role in separating ripe berries from unripe ones during harvesting. These scanners use computer vision to analyze the color, size, and firmness of each berry in real-time, ensuring only the highest-quality fruit is collected.
On large-scale blueberry farms, mechanical harvesters are often used to efficiently pick ripe berries. These machines use vibrating rods or combs to gently shake the berries off the bushes, and the fruit falls onto conveyors or catchment systems.
At the processing plant, the berries go through a sorting process to remove any remaining leaves, stems, or unripe berries. The berries then undergo a thorough washing process to remove any dirt or debris.
Packaging is also a crucial step: cleaned and sorted blueberries are then packed into various packaging formats, such as clamshells, punnets, or bulk containers. The packaging is designed to protect the berries during transportation and maintain their freshness.
This is The Smart Farm! A heavenly space featuring harvesting innovation and production line insights.

Apparently all basic computer algorithms are now "AI"...
i keep saying "automation" and like you said computer algorithms. programs designed to make something that was once complicated, simplified so a dummy can operate it.
8 years ago it would have been 'using cutting edge block chain technology..."
Yes any computer program is AI
And the most funny thing is that even ChatGPT isn’t an AI… but just a fucking LLM 😂 but AI make it sell better 😂
@@MircoMarossi ChatGPT is powered by the GPT backend provided by OpenAI. The Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (GPT) relies on a Large Language Model (LLM) so technically its a GPT that relies on an LLM to operate.
Berries you pick yourself straight from the bushes are the tastiest and sweetest. As well as the fact that these berries from the forest do not have so many chemicals on them. The berry is a delicate fruit that should be eaten shortly after picking. To withstand transport and then weeks of storage in stores, chemicals must be sprayed. There are people here who have never picked berries in the forest and write that those from the forest are small and sour. This is complete nonsense, because no one collects unripe fruit from a bush (unless it is a machine) and there are areas where forest berries are similar in size to cultivated ones (I picked them myself).
the best!
I agree. It's different when you are picking them up freshly.
No, they are sour and small
not true, grandma
@@rabbitfarmus People who have never picked berries themselves in the forest do not understand this.
Blueberries have always been my favorite fruit. Thanks for sharing.
The AI blueberry processing factory is really interesting, it's also the first time I've seen it
big buzz word now
My friend is addicted to blueberries. He is like a Hoover. He's going to Love this little video. I'll send it him. ❤
While people in some corporations are reluctant to work with AI, it is already happening in the agricultural business! Amazing! It’s also good to know that blueberries go through multiple washings before they are packed.
I loved the process! However the only flaw I saw was the employees handling the open containers with ungloved hands, thus introducing bacteria to the blueberries.
it's normal in the food industry, not to use gloves because it gets dirty faster and need to change every hour, so....washing your hands is better
That is a misconception. Good hygiene is better and safer than wearing gloves. Gloves are used to protect the worker, not the food.
My jaw is in my lap at all of the technology to process blueberry's, and people have to wait six months for an operation. Also you work at sorting blueberries all day long and are driving home on the freeway. And all you see is a steady stream of blueberries coming at your windshield!! 🤪
I would be interested in how AI is helping with sorting. I suspect its machine learning from an image library which isnt AI at all, but AI is what everyone likes to call any form of automation these days
After watching this, I may have to rethink getting into the blueberry growing business.
I like how commercialy grown blueberries are sold at farmers markets. Usually by crooks claiming they are sourced locally
How can you tell?
It was proven by other buyer who saw the same identical fruit cases at the farmer market like the ones at grocery stores - brand names ! I’m the other person who saw it plus employees who told me used to work at California farms and know the business. Want to buy local farmer produces - get to know the farmer original owners who are easily accessible in person ! If not, then it’s commercial business - possibly not free gmo pesticide etc.
Best is go and buy it at the farm lands not at farmer market or groceries!
Just grow them, I have 25 blueberry plants, they last for 50+ years.
OMG, first time seeing this technology, very interesting
I guess "AI" means any machine that had electricity in it
Ai just means you’re using an algorithm to get an output.
these are the blueberries with white interiors and more pesticides than vitamins left in them
Not so sure. We get unripe berries, squashed berries, small, med and large berries and berries with stems still on them - all in one bag.
My grandparents had a blueberry farm in Pennsylvania. I grew up picking blueberries every summer. I would earn about $40, which was a lot of money if you were 11 in 1966. I wonder what my grandfather would have thought about all this. I guess for me, I feel a little sad.
Why are you sad
Your grandfather would be very, very amazed 😳at the speed starting from collecting of blueberries to the end where they are packed. I know I am 😋
Saying "Human inspection represents the conclusive sorting stage where berries undergo a final examination to detect and remove any lingering defects or contaminants the ai detector machine or sorter may have over looked." just after praising how much better and faster, etc the machine is at detecting and sorting feels like a cop out for the company, if the machines were so much better you wouldn't have a human doing the final check... This is just another company trying to get costs down at the expense of everything else. They could employ people to sort it, but "that's too expensive" which actually translates to "I don't get as much profits, so I can't buy another yacht this year." None of these huge companies are struggling, the fact they can afford the machines in the first places shows that they're not struggling by any means.
WoW I shall look at the humble blueberry very differently from now on 😮
The company has photo and documentation of every berry which passed its conveyor belt.
In Finland, it's free to pick from forest and tax free when you sell it
These baskets are strategically placed onto the conveyors.
That machine is slapping those baskets
Each tiny blueberry is scanned and analyzed..............amazing!!!
What a long and hard process to just have such a healthy and very nutritional food to the market!!
I pray to Allah that we appreciate all this effort and to do at least our part to not waste food or to not take good care of it .
I pray to Allah to bless everyone who is not wasting food because it is not meant to be wasted.
❤❤❤
I love my cheap blueberries. Those boost up my morning.
I put blueberries in my pancake mix, and a few on top of my oats in the morning.

Love blueberries
Wild blueberries in North America are grown in the Province of Québec and they taste much better than cultivated blueberries
Are they the blueberries that grow small plants basically on the ground, but the blueberry is blueish inside, unlike normal blueberries that are like clear/whiteish inside
I love it so much. Everyday I enjoy. South Korea. Thank you.❤❤❤
Berries and other plants are great food for meat animals . My chickens live on tomatoes, squash and extra strawberries. I will never feed my animals anything other than whole foods.
❤❤❤
In my store organic and regular blueberries have the same brand label on the packaging I wish I could see how is that being accomplished in the factory setting The same goes for a lot of other produce 🤔
love blueberries
Great blueberries harvester
So this is how my store-bought blueberries are harvested. Cool.
You can take the seeds from the store brought blueberries and grow them, I grew a lot of blueberries that way and brought some other plants and the plants last for many years
#Royalfamily we need more blueberry and inspections #tootsieroll #tootsie #SunvalleyRanch #Iran 🔵 🔵💙 #Bluemangroup #Freemasonry #Swedishfish
Hooray for this company, now I too, can afford frozen blueberries
Gorgeous blueberries😍
We wouldn't have blueberries without Nvidia!!
How they wrote this script tho.. Cutting labor cost will improve the consumer satisfaction... Lol 😂
(Increases CEO's bank account satisfaction)
Good fresh food in mega projects is so so desirable
Amazing
Thank you for this video. Very interesting and good to know how my blueberries I purchase are prepared.
❤ Blueberries. This is so awesome!
Do they count them ?
AI is needed to determine color differences?
How would you sort full ripe. from not berries, spoiled or damaged goof
Did anyone else notice the dead bird in the white crate on 9:09 ?
No gloves when picking them off the conveyer belt?
AI should tell them what’s the deal nutrient wise for their plants too
Love berries
Seriously 😳 awestruck for real.
Really impression with your machine 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Holy crap no wonder so many brands of blueberries are so beat up by the time they get to the grocery store.
These things are being thrown around the conveyors like ping pong balls wtf
And such a healthy job too. 😊
Excuse me. Can i download video?
Good job good luck then good life but quality and safety always first 👍🥳🎉😘
Everything is called AI these days even when it's not as in this factory.
lol yea they can call any form of automation, apps or software “AI” these days.
In my store organic and regular blueberries have the same brand label on the packaging I wish I could see how is that being accomplished in the factory setting The same goes for a lot of other produce
people at the end literally barehanded touching the berries xd i feel like this could be run way more efficiently
It would be interesting to know how green and unripe blueberries are used or dealt with.
as a small blueberry farm owner, I still see that ALL commercial blueberries are still sold UNRIPE even with Ai. When You wait week or 2 weeks till full ripening then each blueberry variety taste different, sweetness percentage is different etc. But UNRIPE taste almost same , without any character in it. fully ripened DUKE or NELSON is just insane taste comparing to unripe.
My father was an Agronomist who did research on row crops. He grew blueberries for home use and ate or put up about 25 gallons/year. Three or four times that quantity were given to others or were picked by friends. Berries were always hand picked and to the extent possible, only ripe berries were picked,.
These berries have almost no taste.
@@hawkfarm Seems they do not collect them in the forests anymore.
Wonderful thank you 👍🎉
Вот для чего нужна наука ,чтоб человеку труд облегчать! Это прекрасно когда есть такая автоматизация предприятия. Можно ведь и платить человеку хорошо и на работе мертвым не падать работая по 12 часов
How do they get the blue in there?
ok@@jay1373
Que fruta preciosa.
woooooo ~~ "FrEeZiNG TeChNoLoGy"
But do they taste good? Lots tumbling, id be worried they be so soft when packaged
(they will be)
Very impressive.
I love blueberries, especially blueberry pies.
AI is like the new bluetooth. Blueberrytooth
Overkill comes to mind.
Have you ever wondered how blueberries are grown and processed on a large scale?
wow
Complains about machine picking unripe fruit, later: discards perfectly fine fruit as excess to avoid market price downswing when market has glut.
lovely
Shame these blueberries tastes nothing like wild forest ones.
I was a blueberry picker for 35 years ,yes my fingers are stained purple .
Huge amount and large fruit farm are very busy.
1:47 RIP Mr. Hopper
And to think those berries will just rot in my refrigerator
did the voice is AI as well?
Farmed blueberries with extremely out watered taste, at least they are cheap for people not access to the natural product.
Don’t buy in the off season and support local farmers; it’s the correct thing to do!
Cool
I am surprised how the berries don't get damaged by so many kicks and bumps. 😊
(they do)
As someone who grew up in Eastern Europe, let me tell you something. North American blueberries taste like sh*t. These blueberries in the area where I grew up are called dogs berries. I remember paying for one pound €3.50, never sort any of them, all of them tasted so good, plus naturally organic from high altitude mountains. I believe in technology and advancement, but if you want real blueberries, August is their time for harvest is the East Europe. 3:33
They vary mate. Been living in North America my whole life. I've had amazing blueberries and crap ones.
I am blue berry eater like millions of people out there lol 😂 love the hygiene process..

why USA is unable to find solution for plastic packaging??
Plastic packaging helps preserve the food. This reduces food waste due to spoilage. The extra plastic used is much less of a problem for the planet than all the extra fuel etc needed to transport more goods because of the higher spoilage.
@@danielbreiner9830 Here i am talking about solution not the problem. Electric cars are good but do govt. has facility to recycle batteries? if everyone goes electric?? Every thing has some cons. But how moderately we are doing is the point. A simple question. Why govt. has to beg people to stop using plastic bags? why cant they bring a law to stop manufacturing plastic bags itself for consumers? a simple solution is to cut the source first.
Nothing wrong with plastic it's easily recycled
04:17 Can anyone explain to me what the machine is doing?
splits into smaller streams for better control and sorting
How many people have lost their jobs because of the appearance of these modern machines?
Oh surely THAT'S A NUMBER THAT'S impossible to predict@@ForestAnimalsusa
@AgriculturalMachinery22 with high minimum wage and high health insurance costs it accelerates/evolves AI. This makes things more expensive and less human jobs.
@@ForestAnimalsusaHow many people got cleaner, fresher, better fruit because of these machines?
You do not need the music!
Berries are good for the health
Love my blueberries, I like the wild kind better though : )
Hmmm pesticides and AI machinery. Where can I buy this. 🤢
These are not blueberries I used to harvest in the forest. The flesh is white. When we had eaten them our tongue was blue.
exactly, this is the kind you can grow at home in the garden.
Not the many times more novel of another species that grows in the forest.
They are nordic wild blueberries, they grow close to the grown in the wild and are clear blueish inside, while these blueberries here are cultivated blueberries and can grown several meters and the blueberries are a lot bigger and whiteish inside.
My blueberries always have some weird squished one in it 😠
i see Grasshopper inside bluberri
Even the narrorator is ai
I buy local fruit in season …. Support local get variety
Thankyou. Pity about all the plastic.
