Electronic Fruit Size Measure and Data Logger

• To obtain information for growth and size distribution curves per orchard or variety.
• To compare data from different orchards or years.
• To improve thinning policy.
• To determine percentage small fruit still on tree.
• To monitor soil moisture stress - fruit size is directly correlated with soil moisture

Let technology lighten the workload
The EFM (Electronic Fruit Size Measure) is a product that makes the measuring of fruit a lot easier. Here`s how it works:

• EFM is a hand-held device that measures the full diameter of fruit on the tree.
• The readings are captured on the DataLogger and can then be transferred to PC for more intensive analysis.
• Only one person is needed to both measure and capture the data.
• Software as well as a calibrating disc are included in the package.

Fruit for thought
These are the benefits the EFM offers you:

• Cuts down on paperwork - it measures, captures and downloads fruit size electronically.
• Saves time and labour - only one person is needed to measure, capture and analyse the data.
• The custom configuration allows you to set parameters like orchard names and number of fruit per tree to be measured.
• It`s easy to use. The software supplied with the system runs on Windows 95/98/NT and allows for easy downloading.
• Output data is in ASCII format - the captured data is saved in a comma delimited format. You can use the data with most of the available spreadsheets and/or database applications (MS Excel, Lotus 123, Quatro  Pro, etc).
• Can store up to 12 000 fruit sizes.

It`s all in the system
