Go ahead, make your day $15/hour------Future of farming: The robotic optical grape sorting system

Future of farming: The robotic optical grape sorting system | AEIdeas:
"The video above shows the Bucher Delta Vistalys R2 optical grape sorting system in operation.
Modern Farmer featured the futuristic farming technology on its website this week in the article “How a Robot Can Sort 2 Tons of Grapes in 12 Minutes.”

Head winemaker Steve Leveque is now using a $150,000 optical grape sorter at Hall Winery in Napa Valley, and he says “Most wineries can sort about two tons of grapes per hour, using 15 human sorters.
We now processes the same amount of grapes in only twelve minutes, with zero human sorters.”"
