In the closing segment of a three-part interview, Nohtal Partansky from Sorting Robotics discusses the evolving technology for sorting cannabis biomass. The company utilizes high-speed cameras to differentiate seeds, stems, and buds in real time. Partansky mentions that while their Stardust system currently lacks integrated computer vision, they have developed another product that primarily relies on computer vision for sorting cannabis biomass.
The Stardust system, equipped with integrated cameras, enhances customer support. The support team can access live video feeds to diagnose and resolve issues promptly. Each machine is equipped with numerous sensors, making them Internet of Things (IoT) enabled. This setup allows for continuous data collection on various parameters, which helps Sorting Robotics provide timely solutions to clients.
Looking ahead, Partansky anticipates that the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation will significantly influence the future of cannabis manufacturing. He draws parallels with advancements in the aerospace sector, where he began his career. As AI technology progresses, he predicts that quality control processes will increasingly shift from human oversight to automated systems. He asserts that the rigorous quality control measures implemented in aerospace will inform and benefit the cannabis industry.
Partansky’s insights reflect a broader trend towards automation and AI in manufacturing across various sectors, positioning Sorting Robotics at the forefront of this evolution in the cannabis industry.
