At a scutching facility, incoming flax is graded by eye. The grade sets the price paid to the grower and the route the batch takes through the plant, yet it varies between operators, shifts over the day and leaves no record that can be revisited at the end of the season.
A PhenoStation installed on the reception line images every batch under calibrated conditions and measures fiber length, color, cleanliness and general appearance. Cloverfield compiles the measurements into a standardized score card per batch, aligned with the industry grading standard.
Processors gain an objective, consistent basis to rank and route incoming raw material, support supplier pricing and maintain a traceable quality record across the season. Deployed at industrial scale on flax reception lines.
