(Israel21c) Abigail Klein Leichman - Avi Schwartzer, R&D manager at Hewlett-Packard in Israel, came up with the idea for the AclaroMeter to help determine, on the spot, a fruit's quality and ripeness. "There is a huge demand for this product" from farmers, wholesalers and retailers, as well as home gardeners, said Schwartzer. The product combines two unique made-in-Israel tools: AclarTech's proprietary algorithm and Consumer Physics' SCiO handheld molecular sensor. "We put a software layer on top of the SCiO hardware. You could compare it to GPS and Waze; you cannot build Waze without GPS." AclaroMeter crunches that data from SCiO, along with smartphone camera images of external attributes such as color and size, to display a quality and ripeness "grade" for the fruit instantaneously.
