OUR VALUES
The challenges
Nutritional products sector has some of the most rigorous quality control standards; control and visibility across the entire supply chain must be guaranteed in order to deliver top-quality products.
Canned products represent a significant portion of the market and are commonly delivered to the consumer with a scooping tool.
Missing scoops are considered to be a critical issue faced by nutritional products manufacturers across New Zealand, as well as having more scoops than needed in a can. This can result in reclaims by clients and negative consumer experience and feedback.
OUR VALUES
The solution
Automate-X has developed a powerful object detection machine vision system to identify the presence of correct number of scoops inside a metal can. The system is able to identify a missing scoop and the presence of more than one.
OUR VALUES
The tech
Built using Beckhoff’s TwinCAT machine vision software, running on Beckhoff IPC and using Balluff Vision hardware components.
