VISION – PRACTICAL APPLICATION ARGUMENTS

Food quality monitoring• One hundred percent check• Immediate feedback available for process-optimization• 24/7 operation, high speeds• No human interventions in the product-flow• Enabling traceability• Multiple features possible with multi-spectral camera

Food quantity monitoring• Again: One hundred percent count• Length, width and height measurements in-line• Quantity counting• Orientation of products• Building statistics

Any possible improvement will reduce waste

VISION – PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS / CASES

Monitoring of packaging and coding • Reading printed codes on package• Verification of packing material• Traceability of packages per batch or time-stamp

There should be no risk in any link of the chain

BELTECH – VISION & ROBOTICS

Because no human eye can exceed the repeatability of a computer

Why automation with vision?

VISION – CONCLUSION & TRENDS

‘We believe that -adaptive- vision technology is in its break-through decade’

Machine Vision

Anything is possible – there is no “One size fits all”

Proven technologies – yet not simple

Turn-key integrated solution: more than delivering a camera

A lot happens in adaptive robotics for industry, not yet in food

Near Future

Keeping production in Europe requires maximum efficiency, being lean

ROI-areas not just financial : quality, claim, traceability, waste-reduction

Increasingly intelligent and adaptive!

Data-harvesting often more important than the product/process
