Computer vision applied to food industry
Food industry is a sector where industrial automation has take more time to get into the production process, due to the diversity of shapes that natural products present. With our machine vision systems we can improve production processes in food industry, no matter if it produces meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, dairy products or manufactured products such as industrial bakery.
Quality control of can seam. Canned fish
The canned food can seams are not exempt from faults, especially for aluminum cans. A defect in the can seam that reaches the market, can cause effects on public health, not to mention the poor brand image that this creates.
Versatility in the production line. Sausage manufacturing
To meet the market demand for various products, a sausage manufacturer has installed an automated system controlled by machine vision to quickly adapt the production line to the different sizes and varieties demanded by consumers.
The system consists of two machine vision subsystems. One is in charge of guiding a robot to choose the appropriate sausage for its package. Subsequently, another vision subsystem, verifies that the package is complete and allows the sealing.
