UNITEC’s commitment to excellence is exemplified in its pioneering solutions for blueberry quality selection. Led by its Research and Development Centre, the company has developed Blueberry Vision 3 and UNIQ Blueberries, two groundbreaking technologies that ensure consistent quality, meeting consumer expectations with every supply. By providing precise external and internal quality analysis, these solutions help suppliers strengthen their brand reputation while enhancing consumer satisfaction.
The combined use of Blueberry Vision and UNIQ Blueberries guarantees uniform quality across batches, ensuring reliable, high-value product deliveries. This technological advancement enables producers to differentiate themselves in a competitive market, creating a trusted connection between suppliers and consumers.
Recognizing the challenges of labor-intensive processes in the blueberry industry, UNITEC has taken on the task of minimizing labor costs through automation. Blueberries, due to their delicate nature, traditionally require significant human handling from harvesting to sorting. To address this, UNITEC has engineered innovative solutions that integrate advanced sorting capabilities with reduced labor requirements, ensuring higher efficiency and lower operational costs.
Continuing its innovation-driven approach, UNITEC has introduced the UNICAL 222 Blueberry, a state-of-the-art sorter designed specifically for small, delicate fruits. Now available in a single-lane version, this machine provides an initial quality assessment of each batch, enabling producers to optimize handling and marketing strategies effectively. By offering a preliminary view of the product, UNICAL 222 Blueberry enhances decision-making and operational efficiency.
