QCIFY AI Quality Control and Optical Sorting for Nuts

Qcify provides quality control, line monitoring and sorting solutions for food processors, with headquarters in Herentals, Belgium, a US entity in Turlock, California, and representatives in India, Japan, Australia and Chile. It is part of the eivis group with Insort and TriVision, and since September 2026 Insort and Qcify have been led by one CEO while keeping both brands.

Its systems use cameras and deep-learning models to grade tree nuts and peanuts by kernel. QCIFY 360 analyses samples in 360 degrees with 3D quality data for ERP, QCIFY EYE adds in-line inspection and sorting over existing lines, QCIFY AIR is a compact AI optical sorter, QCIFY RAY monitors quality anywhere on the line and QCIFY HUB is a touchscreen kiosk for line-wide management. Applications include almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, cashews, macadamias and IQF berries.

• QCIFY 360: 360-degree optical sample analysis with 3D quality data exportable to ERP.
• QCIFY EYE: in-line inspection and sorting installed over existing processing lines.
• QCIFY AIR: compact AI-powered optical sorter for tree nuts and peanuts.
• QCIFY RAY: quality monitoring unit placed anywhere along the line.
• QCIFY HUB: production line management kiosk with a 23.8-inch touchscreen.
• Hyperspectral option: Insort CIT technology detects composition beyond standard cameras.

• Cashew processors in Vietnam grading kernels by defect class before export packing.
• Macadamia processors in the Central Highlands monitoring line quality in real time.
• Frozen fruit plants sorting IQF berries or tropical fruit pieces.

• Objective grading: AI applies the same defect criteria to every kernel instead of manual sample checks.
• Quick payback: Qcify states that QCIFY EYE delivers a return on investment in less than a year.
• Higher yield: real-time sorting removes defects while keeping more good product in the line.
• Connected data: 3D quality data and line monitoring feed ERP and the HUB for line-wide visibility.

Nut processors face tighter margins, labour shortages and buyer demand for documented grading, while the optical sorting market is projected by Qcify to grow from about USD 3.4 billion in 2025 to about USD 5.8 billion by 2031. Vietnam, a major cashew processing and export hub, is a natural market for AI-based kernel grading.
