QING and Extractacore are pleased to announce a strategic partnership aimed at redefining automation standards in the global fresh-cut processing industry.
The collaboration combines Extractacore’s proven decoring technology with QING’s STAQ Technology Package, creating a fully integrated, high-performance solution.
It addresses one of the most critical and historically overlooked steps in fresh-cut processing.
While significant advancements have been made in harvesting, sorting, and packaging, the post-harvest decoring process has remained largely unchanged. Despite being one of the most cost-intensive and yield-critical steps in the food processing chain, it is still heavily reliant on manual labour or fragmented automation.
With thousands of fresh-cut processing lines worldwide, decoring remains a mandatory yet inefficient process.
Together, QING and Extractacore are addressing this bottleneck with a system that delivers:
At industrial scale, these improvements are not incremental, they are transformational.
In a recent twin-lane installation, integrating QING’s STAQ into Extractacore’s existing platform delivered immediate results:
This level of performance demonstrates not only accuracy, but consistency and reliability under real production conditions.
“Extractacore de-coring systems are operating in many salad facilities today, delivering game-changing results. STAQ takes our systems to the ultimate level in control and reliability. This will enable us to scale faster as a company, while maintaining the level of performance and consistency that the industry expects — and deserves.” Letti Barber - Founder & CEO, Extractacore
The integration of STAQ fundamentally simplifies the Extractacore system architecture.
Where previously multiple independent systems were required — including robot software, vision software, electrical control, and HMI — STAQ consolidates these into a single unified control platform.
The result:
Extractacore systems will be standardised around the STAQ Technology Package, enabling:
This creates a clear pathway toward making automated decoring a recognised and standardised process in fresh-cut processing — setting a new benchmark for yield, precision, and reliability.
This collaboration is not only about improving machines — it is about owning a critical control point in the global fresh-cut supply chain.
By combining advanced vision, AI, and robotics into a single integrated system, QING and Extractacore are positioning themselves at the core of next-generation food processing.
“This partnership is a clear example of our strategy to impact the global food processing industry. By combining the experience and expertise of Extractacore with our expertise in vision AI and robotics integration, we have a strong proposition for the global fresh produce market — not only reducing manual labour, but also significantly reducing food waste.” Bram de Vrught – CEO, QING Food Automation
