Hod Hasharon (Israel): Diamond manufacturers in the world’s largest diamond cutting and polishing center in Surat will be able to use an automated grading system in their factories to grade the diamonds concurrent with the completion of the polishing process. For the first time, the Israel-based Sarine Technologies Limited has rolled out its AI-based e-grading allowing the diamantaires to grade diamonds on-site.
With its e-Grading, Sarine is also introducing its second-generation of AI-empowered grading technologies with the Sarine Clarity-II™ and an updated version of Sarine Color™, for even more accurate and consistent grading. The Sarine Clarity-II™ provides grading across the entire spectrum of grades, from I to VVS.
In addition, these second-generation grading technologies will extend the limits of diamond evaluation beyond the traditional 4Cs. Sarine Clarity-II™ can evaluate a variety of commercial sorting parameters, including Black in Table (BIT), Black in Crown (BIC) etc. Similarly, the advanced Sarine Color™ provides for additional refining of the Color grade, by assessing fluorescence and tinge.
Sarine e-Grading™ is currently being rolled out to an expanded number of interested diamond manufacturers, having completed advanced testing at several of India’s top-tier diamond manufacturers. With an emphasis placed on creating an efficient value chain, saving costs, and increasing the margin for manufacturers and retailers, Sarine is set to reimagine the diamond industry once again.
David Block, CEO of Sarine Technologies, said, “Sarine has over 30 years of experience in the development and integration of revolutionary tech-based systems into the diamond industry value chain, with dramatic benefits. In the five years since the release of our AI-derived grading, we have acquired substantial knowledge on how to implement AI-based systems to meet and exceed the industry’s requirements, not only in the lab but also on-site in various environments to meet the diverse needs of the manufacturing, sorting, wholesaling and retail sourcing sectors of the value chain.”
With the rollout of e-Grading™, initially, in the manufacturing segment, Sarine brings AI-based grading to the source, providing multiple benefits and making for a more efficient, shortened, and cost-effective supply chain.”
