PepsiCo-GRIMME Digital Twin Cuts Potato Bruising by 87% in Brazil and Mexico Trials

A digital twin of a potato harvester developed by PepsiCo and GRIMME increased yields of undamaged potatoes by 87% in tests in Brazil and Mexico.

The digital twin was used to optimize the harvester's performance and reduce bruising on potatoes.

The technology allowed for real-time monitoring and adjustments to be made to the harvester's settings.

The results of the trials are expected to inform the development of more efficient and gentle potato harvesting systems.
