Q Eye X – The Only All-in-One External & Internal Walnut Grader Fully Powered by AI
The only system that inspects walnuts inside and out in one solution. Ensure consistent quality, fewer false rejects, and higher-value walnuts.
Q EYE X – THE FASTEST AND MOST ACCURATE WALNUT GRADER
Ensure precisely inspected and classified walnuts
BIOMETiC Q Eye X optimizes walnut sorting by evaluating each nut inside and out.
Powered by BIOMETiC Ai, it guarantees premium quality for retailers and consumers, enabling producers to deliver a stable and high-value product.
The combination of external surface inspection and advanced X-ray technology allows Q Eye X to detect shell defects and internal anomalies with high accuracy.
As a result, walnut processors avoid discarding good product, significantly reducing waste.
INNOVATIVE IN-LINE WALNUT GRADING TECHNOLOGY
External + Internal + Grading in one system
Q Eye X integrates three core functions into a single unit:
• External shell-surface inspection for hail damage, black spots, color defects, and deformations
• Internal X-ray analysis to detect partially missing kernels, entirely missing kernels, and structural anomalies
• In-line grading based on diameter, color, and weight (via X-ray)
This combined approach allows producers to see inside the shell without breaking it, ensuring every walnut is classified accurately, consistently, and non-destructively.
Thanks to Q Eye X, today we have 20% fewer false positives and consistently higher-quality walnuts.

COMPLETE WALNUT INSPECTION WITH AI AND X-RAY TECHNOLOGY
Application Examples
Walnuts present unique surface characteristics and hidden internal variations that cannot be evaluated through external inspection alone.
Q Eye X combines optical shell inspection, advanced X-ray analysis, and BIOMETiC Ai to accurately and consistently classify each walnut, ensuring high-quality selection for every batch.
Q EYE X IN YOUR PRODUCTION LINE
FAST AND ACCURATE GRADING OF YOUR WALNUTS
Possible Scan Results of Q Eye X
Q Eye X inspects walnuts for:
- Hail Damage: dents or bruises on the shell caused by hail impact
- Black Spot or deformations: often caused by husk residues remaining after drying
- Completely intact and healthy kernel
- Partially missing or decayed kernel
- Kernel mostly or entirely missing
- Automatic detection of diameter, color, and weight (via X-ray)
- ...
With over 45 years of BIOMETiC expertise and AI algorithms developed since 1999, Q Eye X delivers unmatched detection performance.

THE BEST SOLUTION FOR TOP-QUALITY WALNUTS
Why Our Customers Choose Q Eye X
Born from BIOMETiC’s 45-plus years of experience in in-line inspection systems, Q Eye X is the only walnut grading system that combines external shell analysis, internal X-ray inspection, and real-time AI processing in a single compact unit.
This all-in-one approach allows processors to guarantee premium walnut quality, reduce waste, and deliver a consistent product to retailers and consumers.
Minimize Waste and Increase Yield
With more precise internal detection, processors significantly reduce false rejects and discard far fewer compliant walnuts.
Case in point: Valnoce recorded 20 percent fewer false positives after installing Q Eye X.
This results in higher yield, fewer losses, and more product available for commercialisation.
Protects Brand Reputation and Ensures Consistency
Walnut quality can vary due to weather, storage, and drying conditions.
Q Eye X delivers stable, repeatable results and ensures that every batch meets the required standards, helping producers maintain a strong and trustworthy market presence.
Scale production with Confidence
When quality becomes stable and measurable, producers can plan long-term.
With Q Eye X, walnut processors can expand their orchards, increase volumes, and enter new markets without compromising product consistency.
Reliable internal and external grading ensures that growing production never comes at the expense of quality.
Easy to Integrate into Any Line
With its compact footprint and fast installation, Q Eye X can be seamlessly retrofitted into existing walnut processing lines.
Its user-friendly interface and intuitive controls make daily operation simple, even for teams with limited technical background.
Ensures Premium Walnut Quality
Traditional grading systems can only infer internal quality based on weight, without real visibility. Q Eye X provides accurate inspection inside and outside every walnut.
Its high-resolution optical inspection detects shell defects, including dark spots, bruises, and deformations. At the same time, the advanced X-ray module identifies internal anomalies, including missing kernels and structural defects.
This ensures that only walnuts with the expected internal and external characteristics reach the market.
Adapts to Processor Needs
Each orchard and each harvest presents different characteristics.
Q Eye X allows producers to customize quality parameters according to variety, drying process, and desired grade.
This flexibility is especially valuable for companies that work with multiple cultivars or expand their orchards.
Powered by BIOMETiC Ai
Q Eye X grows with the producer.
Thanks to BIOMETiC Ai, its detection capabilities continuously improve through new algorithms and enhanced feature sets, without the need for hardware additions.
This makes it a future-proof investment.
