Problem
In recent years, consumers have become more aware of the importance of food safety, with increasing attention being paid to the absence of vices or defects that are harmful to people’s health or have an impact on aesthetics.
For these reasons, the food industry has long introduced advanced automation systems into production. Today, one of the challenges for system integrators is to offer the food industry fast control systems, suitable for the high speeds of automated production lines
Solution
Product
The Inspection System will detect imperfections in the production of LONG pasta, carrying out a quality control in real time, through advanced image processing techniques. A dedicated lighting system will allow you to illuminate the product (the pasta) before packaging and allow you to perform the analysis using images acquired by high-performance cameras.
The system (iot- Internet of Things solution) can be integrated in the production plant:
- Automatically discarding the pasta with imperfections, without blocking the line (by appropriate user-adjustable thresholds);
- Blocking the production line, in the case of high and consecutive defects (by appropriate user-adjustable thresholds);
- By taking, from the upstream line, article and batch in production (creating an industry 4.0 solution).
Service
RAM offers a new service associated with the new inspection product. This service will ensure the flexibility of quality control, adapting to production. New formats (as well as variations in the colours of the pasta) require an adjustment of the detection configuration, through a modification of the relative operating parameters.
Benefits
- Continuous monitoring (24h – 365d) of the product;
- Detection of defects in production
- Real time waste (no production delays)
- Remote control (with custom alert system)
