This winery’s sorting robot only has eyes for the tastiest grapes

by Laura Domela

Bad grapes only lead to sour wine, and wineries know they must be discarded before they ruin the batch. Yet, even in Northern California’s multi-million dollar wine industry, separating good grapes from bad is still done by hand. That’s why one local winery now employs a single machine capable of doing the sorting work of a dozen people.

The device is known as the Delta Rflow high flow rate sorting table, and it was built by Bucher Vaslin. It measures about ten feet long and utilizes high speed photography to quickly cull two tons of freshly-picked grapes in just 12 minutes.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
