Modern industrial production, often involving a variety of testing, measurement and parts identification and positioning, such work is characterized by continuous mass production, high quality requirements for product appearance. For this kind of work, purely using manual inspection will add huge labor cost and management cost to the factory, and can not guarantee 100% inspection pass rate.
By analyzing and acquiring images, machine vision can be used to complete industrial automatic inspection, process control and robot guidance, etc. It is suitable for a variety of industries that require measurement, inspection and identification during mass production, especially in the packaging/food/beverage industry. Adding Chuangshi machine vision inspection systems to automated production lines minimizes labor costs and improves efficiency, enabling 100% in-line inspection.
Industry pain points
Machine vision technology is widely used in the food and outer packaging industry. Detection includes product mixing, missing, outer packaging broken, dirty and other issues, machine vision technology are able to take a picture or scanning to take the way to efficiently detect the product. In the food industry, appearance defect detection mainly includes the following directions:
Plastic bag packaging food: detect whether the packaging is broken, labeling with or without, production date with or without;
Can packaging products: detect the quality of the pull ring, the presence or absence of the production date, serial number, etc;
Carton packaging products: detection of whether the outer packaging is missing;
Product surface: detect whether there are black spots, missing pieces, dirty, mixed materials, etc.
Solution
For food defect detection, Chuangshi Automation proposes an appearance defect detection program. Taking candy defect detection as an example, it adopts surface array industrial camera combined with special algorithm module to complete the detection of more than 5 targets to be inspected per second, non-contact detection, which will not bring in new foreign objects and cause secondary contamination, and all kinds of missing and bumpy surface can be detected, and the back-end of the detection can be combined with the automatic kicking mechanism: when the algorithm software recognizes the defects of the product, it will calculate the kicking time based on the speed of the line, so as to achieve the accurate kicking.
Advantages of the plan
Manufacturers add Chuangshi Automation appearance defect inspection program to their production lines
1、Provide 100% inspection/rejection according to production line production speed.
2、Collects critical data and quickly analyzes it through in-line continuous monitoring and/or off-line sampling.
3、Leverages data points, alarms and feedback loops during production to enable operators to make quick changes and reduce waste.
