GoMicro & Boratto Farms Launch AI-in-a-Box for Leafy Green Quality Control
Adelaide, South Australia – September 24, 2025 – GoMicro, an Adelaide-based GenAI agritech innovator, together with Boratto Farms in Victoria, has achieved a breakthrough in leafy green quality control — solving a challenge that has long eluded the industry.
The compact, AI-powered “AI-in-a-Box” can accurately detect subtle defects in spinach, lettuce, rocket, chard, and red butter leaves — even when leaves overlap on conveyor belts. What once required armies of annotators and hours of manual inspection can now be done in minutes — consistently, objectively, and verifiably.
Breakthrough in Leafy Green QC
Spinach and other leafy greens are notoriously difficult to assess: defects are subtle, leaves overlap, and large-scale manual inspection often fails to deliver consistent outcomes. GoMicro’s GenAI technology now enables expert-level accuracy on the pack line, with every QC check time-stamped, image-verified, and instantly available online, removing subjectivity and guesswork from fresh produce quality assessments.
“Our GenAI technology has solved one of the hardest challenges in leafy green QC,” said Dr. Sivam Krish, Founder & CEO of GoMicro. “We can now assess spinach, lettuce, rocket, chard, and red butter leaves on conveyor belts with expert-level accuracy — in minutes. That means consistent, defensible quality reports.”
Deployed at Boratto Farms
The AI-in-a-Box solution, deployed at Boratto Farms, is already delivering faster QC checks, improved consistency, and reduced inspection times while meeting the high standards of Australia’s retail partners.
“Green leaf QC is a labor-intensive, error-prone and subjective process. By using GoMicro, we’re not only improving consistency but also dramatically reducing inspection time,” said Mike Feildon, CEO of Boratto Farms. “This technology allows us to respond faster to quality issues and consistently meet the high standards expected by our retail partners. It also enables us to look objectively at our quality and consistency.”
From Optional to Essential
With rising labor costs and increasingly strict retailer requirements, AI-driven quality control is shifting from optional to essential. GoMicro’s platform provides a scalable path for producers to modernize operations, cut inspection costs, and meet the toughest market standards with objective, verifiable results.
