System and method for assessing quality of produce

A system for assessing quality of produce at a facility comprising:

• a produce assessment station configured to provide a staging area to determine a quality classification of a target produce and comprising:
• a fixed surface;
• a rotatable base disposed on the fixed surface and configured to:
• rotate on an axis;
• and
• secure the target produce when on the rotatable base;
• a first arm coupled to the fixed surface and comprising a microphone;
• a second arm comprising a tapping device;
• and
• a local control circuit configured to control and couple to the rotatable base, the
• first arm, and the second arm, the local control circuit configured to:
• periodically rotate the rotatable base at a particular angle and at a particular time interval in multiple rotations until the target produce has been rotated in substantially a full circle, wherein the particular angle and the particular time interval are programmed to the local control circuit to automatically rotate the rotatable base periodically;
• and
• receive audio data from the microphone, wherein the audio data corresponds to sound created by the tapping device contacting the target produce at each periodic rotation;
• a plurality of sensors coupled to the local control circuit, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is configured to:
• capture one or more images of the target produce at different side view of the target produce while on the rotatable base;
• and
• provide the one or more images to the local control circuit;
• and
• a portable device wirelessly coupled to the local control circuit, the portable device configured to provide a signal to the local control circuit to initiate the quality classification of the target produce.
