AI-Powered Grain Sorters Set New Standard for Russian Agriculture

An agricultural equipment firm in Siberia is using artificial intelligence to clean grain with unprecedented precision—boosting both product quality and export potential.

SibSort, a Russian company based in the Altai region, has integrated artificial intelligence into its grain sorting equipment, setting a new benchmark for agricultural automation. The upgraded photo sorters are capable of removing impurities with extreme accuracy, ensuring that only clean, export-ready grain makes it through.

Each grain is scanned at high speed, and AI-powered algorithms analyze the data in real time, identifying and ejecting defective grains, weed seeds, and foreign materials. Thanks to machine learning, the system improves over time, steadily increasing the precision of its sorting process.

The technology reduces waste by minimizing the rejection of usable grain and enhances competitiveness by meeting global cleanliness standards. All operations are fully automated, eliminating the need for manual intervention.

This AI adoption marks a major step forward in the digitization of Russia’s farming sector. The company says the technology rivals, and in some respects surpasses, Western counterparts.

Looking ahead, SibSort plans to expand its AI applications across other areas of agricultural processing.
