METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HARVESTING FRUIT OR VEGETABLE
Harvesting fruits or vegetables—comprises providing a tractor and a plurality of storage bins in a supply location for the fruit or vegetable; deploying the storage bins to a harvesting area using the tractor; providing a harvester; harvesting fruit or vegetable and storing same in the storage bins at the harvesting area; relocating the fruit or vegetable in the filled storage bins with the tractor to a storage location; providing an operation control and management system (OCMS) configured to receive and process data; receiving storage bin location data indicative of a location of the storage bins from the storage bins; receiving harvesting data indicative of at least one harvesting process parameter in the OCMS; and providing tractor control data in the OCMS in response the received process parameter(s). Tractor control data controls an operation mode of the tractor for deploying and/or relocating—the storage bins. Also a system is disclosed.

The present invention provides a method for on-site identification of damaged fruits and ripeness assessment, immediately after picking/harvesting, thereby enabling discarding damaged fruits on-site without delivering such damaged fruits to a warehouse, which also reduces harvesting time and improves harvesting efficiency. The method of the invention enables improved sorting compared to known robotic harvesters as it is based on a 360° inspection of the fruit and without having the leaves and branches interfere. The method of the invention further enables a preliminary sorting of the fruits according to determined fruits' grade based on identified blemishes in each fruit.
A method for harvesting fruit or vegetable is disclosed, the method comprising providing a tractor (1); providing a plurality of storage bins (2) in a supply location, the storage bins con- figured to store fruit or vegetable; deploying the plurality of storage bins (2) in a harvesting area (3) by means of the tractor (1); providing a harvester (5); harvesting fruit or vegetable by the harvester (5) and storing the fruit or vegetable in the plurality of storage bins (2) deployed in the harvesting area (3); relocating filled storage bins filled with fruit or vegetable from the harvesting area (3) to a storage location by the tractor; providing an operation control and management system (6) comprising one or more data processors and a data storage device and configured to receive and process data; receiving storage bin location data indicative of a location of the storage bins from the plurality of storage bins (2); receiving harvesting data indicative of at least one harvesting process parameter in the operation control and man- agement system (6); and providing tractor control data in the operation control and manage- ment system (6) in response to the at least one harvesting process parameter. An operation mode of the tractor (1) for at least one of deploying the plurality of storage bins (2) and relo- cating the filled storage bins is controlled according to the tractor control data. Furthermore, a system for harvesting fruit or vegetable is provided.
