They could use a simple sorting machine that sorts pearls based on size (like how most coin sorting machines work - run all coins over a small hole, the smallest coins fall through, then run have a slightly larger hole after that, and so on).

Then they could have a simple optical/laser sensor below each hole to count how many smallest, smaller, small, medium, large, larger, and largest pearls fall through each hole.

The benefit would then be that if customers wanted pearls of a certain size, they are already sorted.

Maybe there is an enterprising user here that reads this, can easily create it, and reaches out to pearl companies.

$100/mo/dev is deemed profitable to the company si I guess they are happy rather going for contracts for hardware machines
