Set Picking Specifications

Picking specifications define the thresholds that when crossed will trigger a notification. They can be based on defect rate, color grade, size bands and productivity / speed.

Scroll to bottom and select + Add picking specification

Step 2: Set variety and pick number

Click on Choose varieties
Pick the varieties you wish to set the thresholds for

Step 3: Set defect thresholds

A notification will be sent when a bin gets logged with a defect rate above the threshold set

Click on the Defects line
Click on the defect categories in which you want to set thresholds for

Step 4: Set color thresholds

If you wish to utilise the color scan functionality in Hectre Perform each variety will need color grades set up. If this hasn’t been done you will need to create your color shades and grades before you can setup the thresholds.

Click Color

Click Minimum color grade
Select the minimum color grade acceptable

Step 5: Set size thresholds

All three settings here need to be applied for this threshold to work. A size band range will be defined by selecting a minimum and maximum and a expected percentage of fruit that fall in this range this range.

If the percentage of actual fruit that fall within the set range is not met the thresholds will be breached and a notification sent.

Click on Minimum Size
Select the minimum size band requirement and click save
Click on Maximum size
Select the minimum size band requirement and click save
Click on Good size %
