One platform, multiple applications
Food Processing Applications
DOKTEK FoodTech develops machine-vision-guided cutting, inspection and sorting systems for industrial food processing. The automatic eggplant stem cutting machine is the flagship product; the same vision, robotics and automation platform can be configured for other products and processing tasks.

Precision Cutting & Trimming
Machine-vision-guided cutting systems identify product position, orientation and cutting points before executing a precise automated cut. Because every product is measured individually, natural size and shape variation is handled without per-product mechanical adjustment.
Eggplant stem cutting is the flagship application and an existing DOKTEK machine. Cucumber cutting and trimming, and other product-specific cutting tasks, are platform capabilities: the cutting positions are determined by machine vision and integrated with an automated cutting mechanism engineered for the product.

Vision Sorting & Quality Inspection
DOKTEK FoodTech machine-vision systems can inspect products individually and classify or reject them according to visual, dimensional or quality characteristics. Depending on the application, a system may combine industrial cameras, controlled illumination, UV illumination, deep-learning vision, pneumatic rejection and robotic handling.
Apricot sorting is positioned as optical inspection and classification: color, visible defects, shape, size, surface condition and identification of unacceptable product.
For dried figs, the platform supports UV vision-based sorting. When configured with appropriate UV imaging and illumination, the system can identify contamination-related fluorescence indicators and automatically separate suspicious products. This is automated screening and sorting support — it does not measure aflatoxin concentration and is not a substitute for certified laboratory analysis.

- UV vision-based dried fig screening
- Color sorting and defect detection
- Product selection and rejection
Custom Food Automation
Not every food product requires a completely different technology platform. DOKTEK FoodTech combines vision, motion, robotics and automation to develop product-specific processing systems.
Typical building blocks include custom machine vision, product orientation and classification, pick-and-place and robotic handling, pneumatic rejection, conveyor tracking, custom cutting stations and processing-line integration.

- Dried fig — inspect and sort, including UV screening
- Other products — evaluated case by case
Frequently asked questions
Questions before a machine evaluation.
01Are the cucumber, apricot and dried fig systems finished catalogue machines?
The automatic eggplant stem cutting machine is DOKTEK's flagship product. The other applications are platform capabilities: they use the same vision, robotics and automation technologies, and each system is engineered and configured around the specific product and processing requirement.
02Can the dried fig system measure aflatoxin levels?
No. With an appropriate UV imaging configuration, the system can identify contamination-related fluorescence indicators and automatically separate suspicious products. It supports screening and sorting; it does not measure aflatoxin concentration and does not replace certified laboratory analysis.
03How do we find out whether our product can be automated?
Send product samples, photos or a short production video together with your current method and target output. DOKTEK FoodTech evaluates whether the product can be cut, inspected, classified or sorted automatically, and proposes a configuration for your line.
