Every year a portion of harvested fruit and vegetables do not reach the supermarket shelves as a result of wastage created by rigorous quality control testing or through incorrect classification during the process. The problem stems from the inability for a tester to observe the internal status of a fresh product without resorting to cutting and destroying the item. This project will use innovative and safe technology from the security and medical imaging markets to create a bench top and factory installed imager capable of classifying fresh produce without the need for destructive testing. With the retail sales value of fruit and vegetables in the UK at £10.8 bn and 8 million tonnes of raw produce, even a fraction of percentage savings produce a significant impact.

每年都有一部分收获的水果和蔬菜由于严格的质量控制测试或在加工过程中不正确的分类造成的浪费而无法到达超市的货架上。问题的根源在于测试人员无法观察新鲜产品的内部状态，而不诉诸于切割和破坏产品。该项目将使用来自安全和医疗成像市场的创新和安全技术来创建一个工作台和工厂安装的成像仪，能够在不需要破坏性测试的情况下对新鲜农产品进行分类。在英国，水果和蔬菜的零售额为108亿英镑，原料农产品为800万吨，即使是一小部分的节省也会产生重大影响。
