A Marvel-ous Evolution in Cannabis Consistency

Nov 17, 2023


In today’s fast-paced market, consumers demand consistency. They want the assurance that every purchase, especially of packaged flower, delivers the same standard of quality. A commendable brand resonates with trust. Trust that’s fostered when a brand consistently maintains its quality and delivers what it promises. It’s an undeniable fact observed across industries, from your local diner to the fitness center you frequent. Well known establishments may not offer the best, it could be good or better, but they will guarantee consistency.

Consistency: The Heartbeat of Trust

Consistency isn’t just a golden standard; it’s the lifeline in the cannabis industry. The mercurial nature of consumer loyalty means one misstep can drive them away. A piece of yellow flower, a poorly trimmed bud, or a stark difference in quality from one purchase to the next can tarnish a brand’s reputation. In an era ruled by the internet, a single negative review can spiral into a reputation crisis. Reddit threads or Tweets packed with grievances can leave indelible marks on a brand’s image.

Crafting Quality: Beyond the Best

But here’s a revelation: to dominate the market, you don’t necessarily need the best or the cheapest cannabis. A combination of competitive pricing and unwavering quality can win hearts. Yet, with the intricate details of cannabis cultivation, challenges like high staff turnover, and the pitfalls of knowledge transfer, achieving this consistency isn’t a walk in the park.

Key factors like potency, aroma, dryness/cure, and visual allure – which encapsulates trichome density and trim quality – define the quality of cannabis. While genetics and cultivation practices influence potency and aroma, the post-harvest dry and cure process heavily impacts the scent.

Emerging tools like the Cure Puck have revolutionized this step, ensuring a standardized cure every single time. However, the real challenge lurks in the quality control phase, traditionally entrusted to trimmers. Maintaining consistency during a long workday, especially by hand, is daunting. Add to that the rapid turnover of staff, and you’ve got a recipe for inconsistency. The oversight of even a minor imperfection can have dire consequences, given the vast quantities processed daily.

Quality Control Reimagined: The Marvel Effect

Enter the age of technological innovation. Devices like Marvel are making waves, employing intelligent visual grading to inspect every iota of the flower: front, back and side to side. Marvel’s impressive capability to examine a flower in less than 50ms and process over 100lbs in an hour is awe-inspiring. Integrating artificial intelligence means the system only becomes more astute with time.

Similar, although less advanced, technology already exists and was used to improve quality control in other industries, such as nuts and berries. Introduction of more advanced technology, such as deep mind AI through Marvel, to the cannabis sector is groundbreaking. Marvel ensures thorough checks for visual mold, crow’s feet, excess stems, excess leaves, subpar flower structure, and even foreign material.

Advancing with AI: A Future of Perfection

No longer is there a need to worry about the brand’s reputation. With Marvel, operators can rest assured that their brand stands protected through consistent automated quality assurance.

In essence, the horizon seems clear. We’re on the brink of a revolution where only cannabis that aligns with a brand’s strict criteria will find its way into packages. The anxiety of negative reviews will soon be a relic of the past, all thanks to technological advancements and an industry striving for perfection.
