AgroFresh Expands FreshCloud™ Ecosystem with AI Imaging and Orchard Analytics from Aerobotics and Neolithics

AgroFresh Solutions, Inc., a global leader in post-harvest freshness solutions, has announced two new strategic technology partnerships that expand its FreshCloud™ digital ecosystem. The company is joining forces with Aerobotics, a pioneer in orchard and packhouse analytics, and Neolithics, a developer of AI-powered optical inspection systems. Together, these integrations position FreshCloud™ as the most connected digital platform for fresh produce quality and supply-chain management worldwide.

By aggregating real-time data from multiple sources, FreshCloud provides growers, packers, and retailers with continuous, data-driven insights — enabling faster, objective decisions to reduce waste, improve quality, and increase profitability. Building on existing collaborations with Rubens Technologies, Strella Biotechnology, and Escavox, AgroFresh is advancing toward a fully integrated, orchard-to-packhouse intelligence network.

Accurate Yield Data with TrueFruit® by Aerobotics

AgroFresh’s partnership with Aerobotics integrates multiple TrueFruit® modules into FreshCloud™, delivering AI-powered orchard and packhouse intelligence. Using computer vision and AI analysis of smartphone imagery, Aerobotics enables growers to measure fruit size, color, and quality accurately and objectively; improve harvest planning with size forecasting, blemish detection, and color-grading models; and monitor quality with standardized measurements from the orchard to the packhouse.

Through this integration, users can view all yield data in one place to make informed decisions that typically boost packouts by 1–5%, offering more than tenfold returns on investment for commercial producers.

Next-Generation Quality Control with Neolithics

With Neolithics integrated into FreshCloud™, packers gain access to a next-generation quality-assurance solution that matches the speed and scale of modern packhouses — transforming inspection from a risk factor into a source of confidence.

The company’s AI-powered imaging delivers high-throughput, non-destructive scanning — from one kilogram per minute for berries to over six tons per hour for avocados — while measuring °Brix, acidity, and dry matter, and detecting internal and external defects with over 90% accuracy. All this is achieved without damaging a single piece of fruit.
