Fruit Logistica 2026: innovation in smart grading, AI and industrial control
Fruit Logistica once again positioned Berlin as the global centre of the fruit and vegetable sector. Three intense days. Strategic decisions. Technology applied to real processes.
The 2026 edition confirmed a clear trend: the industrial sector is seeking operational intelligence. It seeks integration. It seeks control.
Our participation in Fruit Logistica 2026 allowed us to present relevant advances in grading software, applied artificial intelligence and plant supervision.
Trends at Fruit Logistica 2026: digitalisation and real-time control
The fair made it clear that digitalisation is a present necessity.
Key concepts were repeated throughout the aisles and stands:
● Complete traceability
● Online data integration
● Advanced industrial monitoring
● Artificial intelligence applied to production
Modern calibration is evolving towards a model where data guides every decision.
New software design for calibrators: more intuitive, more up-to-date
One of the aspects that generated the most interest at our stand was the complete redesign of the software’s aesthetics.
A clearer interface. More in line with current industry standards and more user-friendly.
Because we know that usability has an impact on productivity. A revamped visual environment reduces errors, facilitates adjustments and speeds up the learning curve.
As we said, this evolution towards software that is more user-friendly without losing technical precision has been very well received.
Artificial intelligence applied to grading beyond external quality
Our AI in grading is no longer focused solely on detecting surface defects.
At Fruit Logistica 2026, we presented expanded artificial intelligence models that intervene in:
- Classification optimisation
- Real-time data analysis
- Continuous improvement tailored to each customer
All geared towards making better decisions with the processed information.
Artificial intelligence is establishing itself as a strategic tool in post-harvest environments.
New monitoring and control environment for adjacent machinery
Another key point was the evolution of the control module for machinery adjacent to the calibrator.
The new monitoring environment incorporates the functionality already provided by the revamped visual interface and multilingual system. All this so that the integration between the calibrator and auxiliary equipment becomes a real competitive advantage: improving response times and operational control.
Conclusions after Fruit Logistica 2026
The 2026 edition has sent clear messages to the fruit and vegetable industry:
- Artificial intelligence applied to grading continues to grow.
- Real-time traceability is a priority.
- Software must be powerful and accessible.
- Centralised control of the entire plant is becoming increasingly important.
- Total integration is the new standard.
Intelligent grading is no longer just about sorting by weight, size or colour. It is also about advanced production management.
We would also like to thank all the professionals, manufacturers, technical managers and executives who visited our stand to find out about our latest developments. It has been a pleasure to exchange ideas, analyse projects and share our views on the direction the sector is taking.
We take away with us open conversations, new collaborations and the necessary impetus to continue developing solutions that respond to the real needs of the industry.
See you at the next edition.
