Food processing

Food processing

Highly specialized embedded vision systems enable fully automated quality control, sorting and portioning in the food industry. They ensure maximum speed, efficiency and productivity. Photonfocus solutions can either be fully integrated in the production line or used as standalone systems with onboard data processing.

 

Application examples

Photonfocus sensors for sorting and classifying

Sorting and classifying

In a fully automatic process, embedded vision systems detect the size, volume and weight of food and recognize different types, shapes and ripeness levels. This is done using 2D and 3D image acquisition, laser triangulation and infrared image capture technologies. One special feature of Photonfocus is the option of interpreting the data locally.

Photonfocus sensors for food portioning

Portioning

Food with irregular shapes places high demands on portioning. Embedded vision systems help record the shape, size and weight of such foods, in order to determine the ideal portioning. At the same time, maximum processing speed and image quality guarantee productivity and economic efficiency.
