Every year, billions of dollars of fresh produce is wasted or disputed because no one could agree on what “good quality” looked like. GoMicro Exceed is the first AI quality control system designed to be anywhere, affordable, and be used by anyone, from a family farm to a global distributor.

  • Fresh produce quality control relies on subjective human inspection: inconsistent, slow, and inaccessible to smaller operations. The challenge was to build an AI-powered QC system deployable by anyone, anywhere, without specialist tools, training, or infrastructure.Constraints were extreme. Sub-13 kg for single-person handling, sub-30 minute setup, no cloud, wifi connection dependency, and a price point accessible to small farms. The device had to survive wet, dusty packhouse environments, run on a standard wall outlet and be maintained by non-technical staff without compromising detection accuracy. The end goal was a product that can be manufactured and used anywhere in the world.

  • Before Exceed, the only way to check produce quality was a pair of human eyes. Tired, inconsistent and impossible to scale.The team built an AI system using Nvidia Jetson edge computing and a proprietary internal lighting system that guarantees identical imaging conditions on every scan regardless of environment. Produce passes through on a belt. The AI detects defects in real time. No cloud. No engineers. No conveyor replacement.The enclosure is fabricated from readily available sheet materials, assembles in under 20 minutes using ten thumbscrews and ships in a standard 13-litre container. World-class quality intelligence, built so anyone anywhere can afford and deploy it.

  • Produce waste and quality disputes cost the fresh food industry billions each year. The root cause is simple: no objective record of what the product looked like when it left the farm.Exceed changes that. Every scan produces a timestamped, image-verified quality record, turning a handshake agreement into auditable evidence. Disputes are resolved faster. Waste is caught earlier. Growers get paid fairly.Because the device is affordable, portable, and requires no technical expertise, it reaches farms that enterprise systems cannot. Small growers in any country now have access to the same quality intelligence as the largest operations in the world.

  • Patented uniform light diffuser ensures consistent imaging conditions regardless of ambient environment.Edge AI inference on Nvidia Jetson with no cloud dependency.Designed for plug and play with under 20 min assembly and setup time.Designed optimized for shipping in a 13-litre container and weighs under 13 kg.Fits different size conveyors and belts without modification.Can operate in a range of sub-optimal conditions. Designed with common materials such as sheet metal and wood for easy fabrication using standard tools and equipment. Modular component design supports field serviceability and part replacement without specialist intervention.
