New U‑Vision Technology Enhances Potato Sorting Accuracy

RPS Machinery is expanding its potato‑sector offering with U‑Vision, an advanced optical grading system that uses high‑resolution multi‑camera imaging to assess potatoes for size, shape, colour, and surface defects. A key advantage is that it can grade unwashed, dirty potatoes, making it suitable for both seed and ware applications.

The system can function as a stand‑alone grader, a pre‑sorter, or be integrated into a full grading and washing line. RPS Machinery also partners with other equipment specialists to provide solutions for washing, peeling, sorting, handling, and processing, backed by installation, servicing, repairs, and spare‑parts support.

The technology will be showcased at the British Potato Confex (Nov 18–19, 2026), where RPS aims to highlight its integrated approach to modern potato processing.

October 23, 2024 The idea of soil microbes generating electricity is such a fascinating and revolutionary development. The concept of “Bactery,” a soil-powered battery developed by the University of Bath, harnesses the power of electrigens—microbes capable of generating electrons while consuming organic compounds in the soil. This breakthrough has the potential to sustainably power in-field sensors, part of the “Smart Farming” revolution, providing real-time data on soil conditions to support more efficient agricultural practices. Plus, no need for replacing batteries or maintaining solar panels—just install and let nature do the rest.
