Last year’s citrus campaign delivered highly positive results for MAF RODA, with new operational facilities and a portfolio of major sector clients that endorse its reliability and leadership. Thanks to its experience and technological approach, the company has provided advanced post-harvest intelligent automation solutions that have ensured efficiency, quality, and traceability throughout the entire season.
The company’s close and continuous service during the campaign has strengthened producers’ confidence and security, guaranteeing that every piece of fruit reaches its final destination in optimal condition. Quality systems such as G7-Viotec, the cutting-edge SMART Citrus software powered by AI, as well as the Pomone IV grader and intelligent packing robots like FAST PACK, have made it possible to optimise resources, increase productivity, and maintain the highest quality standards.
With these solid results, MAF RODA faces the new citrus campaign fully prepared, consolidating its commitment to innovation, personalisation, and service assurance. The company continues to apply its engineering expertise and specialised knowledge to offer tailored solutions for each producer, ensuring efficiency, sustainability, and excellence at every stage of the process.
New SMART Citrus Software Based 100% on AI
SMART Citrus, a solution powered entirely by artificial intelligence, with self-adjusting and automation capabilities, is the driving force behind G7-Viotec, developed to optimise and simplify the work of operators in processing plants.
The software stands out for its intuitive interface, enabling easy operation even for users with limited technical experience. Unlike conventional systems, which required complex manual adjustments, this platform allows production lines to automatically adapt to different grading parameters, reducing configuration times and minimising potential human error.
Intelligent Packing
The new FAST PACK packing robot, designed for citrus fruit, incorporates state-of-the-art technology and advanced robotics systems that optimise the packing process. The line integrates a fully automated system that places citrus fruit into alveolar trays and orients each piece to match the client’s specifications, ensuring a uniform, high-quality presentation. It is a high-capacity robotic solution that automates one of the most complex stages of the process, providing an efficient response to labour shortages and significantly reducing operating costs in the packing line.
Automation: A Strategic Factor in the Citrus Industry
Automation has become a key pillar in an increasingly demanding and global citrus industry. With a clear focus on technology and efficiency, MAF RODA positions itself as a strategic partner, offering automated solutions tailored to the needs of each producer.
Its flexible approach enables the optimisation of resources, improved efficiency, and the assurance of maximum quality in every piece of fruit. Beyond equipment supply, MAF RODA provides technical advice and continuous maintenance, reaffirming its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the technological transformation of the agri-food sector.
