Potato grader: How Wilhelm Weyers gained complete control over internal potato quality

Описание: Based in Germany, Wilhelm Weyers has been growing and packing potatoes and onions since 1964. The family-run business built its reputation on consistent quality and its ability to serve demanding retail customers across multiple markets.

But before investing in automation, climate-related challenges reshaped their reality. Poor-quality batches became more frequent due to heat, drought, and heavy rain. Stressing tuber development and increasing the risk of internal defects.

Internal defects increased, manual sorting demanded more people, and skilled graders were harder to find. Throughput slowed, and meeting strict customer requirements became more difficult with each season.

To regain control, Wilhelm Weyers invested in an Elisam potato grader powered by Ellips AI potato grading technology.

The result? Reliable internal and external defect detection, improved throughput (even with lower quality batches) and far less dependence on labor.

Today, the company sorts with confidence, delivers consistent quality despite tough harvests, and operates more efficiently. Even when internal quality challenges rise across the market.

"Thanks to our Elisam optical potato grader, not a single potato with an internal defect leaves our premises"
Reinhard Krebbers - Wilhelm Weyers
