- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ม.ค. 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.
Blueberries have always been my favorite fruit. Thanks for sharing.
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!! 🤪
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.
My friend is addicted to blueberries. He is like a Hoover. He's going to Love this little video. I'll send it him. ❤
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.
The AI blueberry processing factory is really interesting, it's also the first time I've seen it
big buzz word now
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.
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
Each tiny blueberry is scanned and analyzed..............amazing!!!
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.
WoW I shall look at the humble blueberry very differently from now on 😮
I love my cheap blueberries. Those boost up my morning.
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 😋
After watching this, I may have to rethink getting into the blueberry growing business.
OMG, first time seeing this technology, very interesting
I love it so much. Everyday I enjoy. South Korea. Thank you.❤❤❤
Satellite imagery utilized by modern agriculture machines enhances overall farm management.
myth.
I guess "AI" means any machine that had electricity in it
Ai just means you’re using an algorithm to get an output.

Thank you for this video. Very interesting and good to know how my blueberries I purchase are prepared.
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.
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.
Gorgeous blueberries😍
Thank you for this video. Very interesting technology processing Machines
these are the blueberries with white interiors and more pesticides than vitamins left in them
❤ Blueberries. This is so awesome!
These baskets are strategically placed onto the conveyors.
That machine is slapping those baskets
How they wrote this script tho.. Cutting labor cost will improve the consumer satisfaction... Lol 😂
(Increases CEO's bank account satisfaction)
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
The company has photo and documentation of every berry which passed its conveyor belt.
Love blueberries
In Finland, it's free to pick from forest and tax free when you sell it
Seriously 😳 awestruck for real.
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.
❤❤❤
Gloria a ti,señor,por todo/ Viva Christo Rey
love blueberries
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.
❤❤❤
Amazing
Really impression with your machine 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Que fruta preciosa.
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
Wonderful thank you 👍🎉
Great blueberries harvester
Good job good luck then good life but quality and safety always first 👍🥳🎉😘
Hooray for this company, now I too, can afford frozen blueberries
Good fresh food in mega projects is so so desirable
I put blueberries in my pancake mix, and a few on top of my oats in the morning.
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 🤔
We wouldn't have blueberries without Nvidia!!
Do they count them ?
How do they get the blue in there?
ok@@jay1373
AI is needed to determine color differences?
How would you sort full ripe. from not berries, spoiled or damaged goof
Excuse me. Can i download video?
lovely
Very impressive.
I love blueberries, especially blueberry pies.
And such a healthy job too. 😊
woooooo ~~ "FrEeZiNG TeChNoLoGy"
1:47 RIP Mr. Hopper
Love berries
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.

Did anyone else notice the dead bird in the white crate on 9:09 ?
Huge amount and large fruit farm are very busy.
No gloves when picking them off the conveyer belt?
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.
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
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
Complains about machine picking unripe fruit, later: discards perfectly fine fruit as excess to avoid market price downswing when market has glut.
Oh my gosh, first time seeing this technology, so interesting
people at the end literally barehanded touching the berries xd i feel like this could be run way more efficiently
wow
AI should tell them what’s the deal nutrient wise for their plants too
#Royalfamily we need more blueberry and inspections #tootsieroll #tootsie #SunvalleyRanch #Iran 🔵 🔵💙 #Bluemangroup #Freemasonry #Swedishfish
Cool
AI is like the new bluetooth. Blueberrytooth
I am surprised how the berries don't get damaged by so many kicks and bumps. 😊
(they do)
But do they taste good? Lots tumbling, id be worried they be so soft when packaged
(they will be)
Love my blueberries, I like the wild kind better though : )
did the voice is AI as well?
Don’t buy in the off season and support local farmers; it’s the correct thing to do!
I am blue berry eater like millions of people out there lol 😂 love the hygiene process..
Have you ever wondered how blueberries are grown and processed on a large scale?
Farmed blueberries with extremely out watered taste, at least they are cheap for people not access to the natural product.
These chain machines are amazing
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.
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.
Shame these blueberries tastes nothing like wild forest ones.
I wonder how they keep crows from eating all the berries in the field?
They keep a small army of eagles on watch at the farms.
And to think those berries will just rot in my refrigerator
Lotta red ones fot$10 pound,!
Hmmm pesticides and AI machinery. Where can I buy this. 🤢
I was a blueberry picker for 35 years ,yes my fingers are stained purple .
You do not need the music!
My blueberries always have some weird squished one in it 😠
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?
So after all that, people touch them with their bare hands as a last step?
Basic labor is a thing of the past.
ナカシマのフォークリフト
Why are these machines so good at reducing costs and efficiency but the blueberries are still super expensive at the store?
All profits going to buying/maintaining the machines or are the CEOs taking too big a cut?
Maybe they should go back to human sorting.
