Moba has introduced artificial intelligence (A.I.) into the function of the proven Egg Inspector module to detect shell defects. This innovation allows packers to monitor flocks and suppliers based on average shell quality and uniformity and to grade consignments of eggs based on shell integrity.  With the system in operation, it will be possible to divert eggs with suboptimal shell quality to a designated downgrade packer for subsequent breaking.  Effective August 2020 all Omnia graders equipped with a crack detector will offer shell strength detection as a standard feature.

Paul DeSchouwer, Commercial Director of Moba noted "the two innovations are a perfect example of how we try to serve various markets simultaneously. Moba focuses on optimizing profit and maximizing yield”. He added "many vision-based attempts at crack detection have failed.  The reason was always unacceptable balance between detection rate and false rejects.  Artificial intelligence resolves the dilemma and contributes to efficiency and profitability."
