What Neolithics does
Neolithics Ltd is an Israel-based AI agri-tech company, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Tel Aviv-Yafo, that builds non-destructive quality inspection systems for the fresh produce industry. Its flagship platform, Neolithics Light, combines off-the-shelf hyperspectral optics, computer vision, and AI software whose models are trained and validated by in-house food scientists; the system scans every individual piece of fruit at stated accuracies above 90%, producing simultaneous internal and external measurements (Brix, acidity, dry matter, internal defects, external defects, shelf life prediction) without destroying the produce. A specialized food-safety sub-product, Crystal.Eye, applies the same imaging pipeline to pathogen and defect detection for compliance use cases.
The company sells and supports Neolithics Light on a direct enterprise basis to packing houses, growers, distributors, importers and exporters, food processors, and retail distribution centers, with deployments that can operate standalone or integrate with existing WMS or ERP systems. Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales for the inspection units and recurring software/AI analytics, with pricing conducted via consultative demos and free discovery calls rather than public list pricing. Customer segments span the fresh produce value chain, including a publicly cited deployment with Granot Plantation, Israel's largest avocado grower.
Neolithics pursues a channel-and-ecosystem strategy anchored on the November 2025 global partnership with AgroFresh Solutions, integrating its inspection layer into AgroFresh's FreshCloud digital platform alongside Aerobotics' orchard analytics. The company is backed by $3.7 million in disclosed funding (Granot Ventures, OurCrowd, PeakBridge, Ponderosa Ventures, 2022), operates with 11-50 employees, and is commercially active in Israel, the Netherlands, and Germany, with a stated global customer footprint.

Neolithics competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Prospera (Valmont Industries): AI and computer-vision platform for agriculture, acquired by Valmont. Comparable in using AI vision for agricultural decisioning, but oriented to in-field rather than post-harvest inspection.
- TOMRA Food: Global leader in optical sorting and grading for fresh produce, nuts, and processed food. Direct competitor in fruit/vegetable sorting and the dominant incumbent Neolithics must displace in pack-houses and distribution centers.
- Blue River Technology (John Deere): Pioneer in computer-vision and machine-learning for agriculture, now part of John Deere. Applies AI imaging to crop-level decisioning, positioning it as a broader incumbent in agricultural AI vision.
Emerging players
- Spectral Engines: Builds spectral sensing hardware and AI for material identification in food, agriculture, and industrial applications. Comparable technology stack (spectral sensing + AI analytics) at the component level.
- Aerobotics: AI-powered aerial analytics for orchard yield forecasting and blemish detection. Now a co-partner with Neolithics inside AgroFresh's FreshCloud, making it both a collaborator and a partial competitor in produce-quality data.
- ImpactVision: Hyperspectral imaging and AI for food quality assessment across produce, meat, and seafood. Closely comparable technology approach (hyperspectral + AI) with overlapping fresh-produce use cases.
Direct peers
- Ellips: Dutch company specializing in optical sorting and grading equipment for fruits and vegetables using multi-spectral imaging. Closely comparable technology and customer base to Neolithics Light.
- Compac (TOMRA): Provides integrated sorting, grading, and packing lines for fresh produce using optical technology. Now part of TOMRA, it is a direct competitor across pack-house and distribution-center deployments.
- AWETA: Supplies sorting, grading, and internal quality inspection systems for fruits and vegetables using optical and laser technologies. Overlapping product offering with Neolithics Light in pack-houses.
Others
- AgroFresh Solutions: Global post-harvest solutions provider with the FreshCloud digital platform that now embeds Neolithics technology. Strategic distribution partner and adjacent incumbent in produce quality management.
