CTOs on the Move

Inspection Masters, LLC was formed in 2000 to commercialize the PS-10,000, an in-shell pecan “sticktight” sorter developed by Roger Holt, I.M.`s founder and CEO. Sticktights are in-shell pecans from which the outer hull failed to separate during mechanical de-hulling. At that time, separation of sticktights was performed either by visual inspection and hand picking by multiple workers, or by an infrared diode based sorter made by a company that has since abandoned the business.
