Abstract: The present invention discloses a system (100) for artificial-intelligence driven post-harvest quality grading of fruits and vegetables. The system comprises a conveyor assembly (110) with a singulation roller (112) and speed encoder (113); a multi-spectral imaging module (120) having a colour camera (121), near-infrared camera (122) and hyperspectral line-scan sensor (123) within a light-emitting-diode illumination chamber (124); an ambient sensor module (130) with volatile organic compound sensor (131), temperature-humidity sensor (132) and load cell (133); an edge processing unit (140) executing an artificial intelligence inference engine (150) that fuses spectral, olfactory, geometric and weight features through a convolutional neural network (151), ripeness prediction model (152) and grade classifier (154); a pneumatic sorting actuator assembly (170) diverting items into grade-specific bins (172); and a cloud server (160) providing model updates and tamper-evident traceability.
