GoMicro Deploys Second AI Quality Control Unit to Australian Leafy Greens Grower

Adelaide-based agtech company continues to build its track record in automated produce inspection — and is looking for UK partners.

GoMicro, the Australian agtech company developing AI-powered quality assessment for fresh produce, has shipped and installed its second GM Exceed unit at a leafy greens operation in Victoria’s Gippsland region.

The deployment follows GoMicro’s first commercial installation at Boratto Farms in late 2025 — widely covered in trade media — and represents a significant step in proving the system’s repeatability. The unit was built in Adelaide, shipped directly to the grower, and is now being fine-tuned remotely by GoMicro’s engineering team in collaboration with the farm’s QC lead.

What the Technology Does

The GM Exceed is a compact, self-contained quality assessment system designed for leafy greens packhouses. It uses AI trained on sample images — good quality, poor quality, specific defect types — to detect issues such as yellowing, pest damage, disease, and white spotting in real time. The system produces instant PDF reports with quality and size metrics, giving growers objective data where previously they relied on subjective human judgement.

Critically, the unit is designed so that any farm hand can operate it — no specialist QC training required. It works offline, with internet connectivity used for remote support and sharing QC reports.

Why This Matters for UK Growers

The UK’s leafy greens sector faces many of the same pressures driving adoption in Australia: labour shortages in QC roles, subjective grading that creates disputes between growers and buyers, and increasing retailer demand for traceability and consistency. GoMicro’s system addresses all three, and the company is actively seeking UK partners and early adopters.

How to Engage with GoMicro

GoMicro is interested in connecting with UK leafy greens growers, packhouse operators, and industry bodies who want to explore AI-assisted quality assessment. The company offers online demonstrations and is open to conversations about how the technology could fit different operations.

What to expect from an initial conversation: a 15–20 minute online demonstration of the GM Exceed system running on real produce, followed by a discussion about your operation’s specific QC challenges and volumes. There is no obligation — GoMicro is genuinely interested in understanding whether its technology fits the UK context before making any commitments.
