Certainty in every grain

Acova completes a full visual analysis within minutes, imaging each kernel on both sides and benchmarking against Grain Trade Australia's (GTA) standards. By applying the same trained criteria every time, it removes the subjectivity of manual inspection and analyses up to twenty times more grain. Results are displayed instantly on screen, allowing operators to record or integrate them into site grading workflows. Proven under harvest conditions and shaped by industry input, Acova delivers visual analysis that is accurate, repeatable, and trusted.

AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES

Wheat

Wheat assessment demands precise identification of defects, contamination, and foreign material. Acova analyses every kernel against digital standards, delivering consistent results across sites. Piloting at receival points has shown repeatable performance and fast turnaround under harvest conditions.

Barley

Barley kernels can vary widely in appearance, and each sample may contain numerous potential defects and contaminants that need to be identified. Manual inspection is prone to inconsistency, with outcomes often differing between receival sites. Acova applies the same digital standards to every sample, delivering accurate and consistent results across receival points. Field testing has shown reduced variability and greater confidence in outcomes.  

Oats

Bulk handlers and millers often apply different standards when assessing oats, particularly in how groats are classified. Acova has been trained to deliver accurate and consistent results aligned with user requirements. By analysing every kernel, it ensures that defects are consistently identified across the full sample.

OUR EXPERTISE

How Acova can support your operations

Acova is a standalone device that can be deployed on-farm, at receival sites, or within processing facilities. It adapts to the role of bulk handlers, domestic processors, or growers, delivering consistent results wherever visual assessment is required.

WHO’S THE DEVICE FOR?

Supply chain

Bulk grain handlers
Acova automates the visual step in sampling, analysing up to twenty times more grain per sample than manual inspection. Analysing at this scale reduces bottlenecks during harvest, improves classification speed, and ensures consistency across receival points. By removing subjective judgment, it also reduces grading disputes and builds trust with growers.
Domestic grain handlers
Acova aligns analysis with processing standards, ensuring the grain meets specification before it enters production. Accurate classification at intake reduces the risk of supply interruptions and ensures processing lines run efficiently.
Growers
Acova delivers unbiased results that prevent unnecessary downgrades and protect returns. On-farm use lets growers test grain before delivery and blend loads in advance, saving time and resources at the bin.

Application

Adaptable to any operation

Analysis is where it starts. Applications take it further with tools for operators, growers, coordinators, and regulators. See how it works in practice on the Applications page.
