Eagle Eye Produce Reduces Labor Costs by 50% with SiftAI®

Eagle Eye Produce uses the SiftAI® Robotic Sorter to facilitate potato sorting, sizing, and quality before packing. The company's savings have increased quickly thanks to reduced labor costs and improved potato grading accuracy.

Idaho Falls, Idaho-based Eagle Eye Produce CEO Newman Giles was facing a conundrum: Rising labor costs, increasing quality demands from customers, and high employee turnover at their potato packing warehouse was beginning to take a serious toll on their bottom line. Left with few other options, began seeking a more intelligent way to sort and package potatoes; leading him to discover the KPM Analytics SiftAI® Robotic Sorter, the first ever AI-powered fully-automated robotic sorting solution for potato processing.

In this feature article written by Lane Lindstrom with Potato Grower Magazine, Giles explains how AI has greatly improved the quality of potatoes going out the door at Eagle Eye Produce.

"We do an ROI analysis before purchasing any equipment. If it's not going to pay for itself in two years, then we most likely won't purchase. We're down 50% on labor costs due to AI. There are things it is saving us we didn't calculate with in our ROI [analysis]."
