Accelerate Genetic Selection with Automated, Objective Standards The Vibe QM3i automates the tedious manual measurements of these traits, providing you with rich, digital datasets to drive faster, data-based selection decisions. The difference between a good hybrid and a market-leader lies in the phenotype: expansion volume, precise shape consistency, and eating quality (hull dispersion).  Fig.1 : High-Throughput Sample Screening:  Replace manual counting with rapid, whole-sa

Executive Summary In the high-volume world of oat processing, efficiency is dictated by the precision of the feedback loop. Every adjustment to the dehuller, scourer, or kiln trades off between yield, throughput, and quality. The traditional method of manual visual inspection is often too slow to catch subtle shifts in hulling efficiency or geometric consistency that drive profitability. This white paper outlines how Vibe Imaging Analytics empowers oat processors to visualize

Unifying Physical Grading and Compositional Classification  with Imaging Analytics Executive Summary- The Data-Driven Standard for Corn Processing In the modern milling and food processing industry, raw material consistency is the single biggest driver of plant efficiency. Quality control is no longer just about visual inspection, it is about predictable yield. Whether for dry milling, wet milling, or industrial starch production, the ability to characterize the hardness and

1. Executive Summary Quality control in the seed industry often relies on visual inspection or random sampling to determine germination rates. This case study evaluates the efficacy of the Vibe QM3i Grain Analyzer  in predicting the germination potential of Mung beans. By analyzing specific visual properties- such as color and dimensions- and segregating seeds into distinct classifications, the study demonstrates a strong correlation between digital classification and biologi

Is your team seeing the whole elephant?  To boost the post’s SEO, include a keyword in the title. The "Blind Men and the Elephant"  Does this situation look familiar? In the classic parable, several blind men touch different parts of an elephant. One touches the tusk and claims it's a spear; another touches the trunk and insists it's a snake. They are all looking at the same animal, but coming to vastly different conclusions. In many organizations, this is exactly what happen

1. The Foundation: What is TKW? Before understanding its potential in food processing, we must establish the standard used in agriculture. 1000 Kernel Weight (TKW)  is an industry benchmark codified under ISO 520 . It is a precise method of quality assurance that involves counting and weighing 1,000 clean kernels to calculate their average mass. In the seed industry, this metric is non-negotiable.
