Carrots

Challenge The process of manually measuring, counting, and packing carrots is a labor-intensive and time-consuming task for personnel. It involves the workers manually handling the carrots, measuring and counting them, and then packing them into the appropriate packaging based on weight and quantity requirements. This process is often repetitive and monotonous, which can lead to a decrease in productivity and quality control. Additionally, human error can occur during this process, resulting in inaccurate measurements or incorrect packaging, which can impact the overall quality of the product.

in pallet inspection

Challenge Overhang issues with products that are packed and wrapped on a pallet refer to the situation when the products extend beyond the edges of the pallet after they are packed and wrapped. This can lead to stability issues during transportation and storage, as the overhanging products may shift, slide or fall off the pallet, causing damage to the products or the pallet itself. Overhang issues can be caused by incorrect positioning or stacking of the products on the pallet, inadequate wrapping or strapping, or uneven weight distribution.

Piccolo Tomatoes

in Advanced

For one of the largest vegetable production companies in Norway. The company produces open field and greenhouse grown vegetables. The main crops cultivated in the greenhouses are tomatoes (many different varieties), cucumbers and sweet snack peppers and chili pepper. Challange Currently, there is no available solution in the market that can effectively inspect piccolo tomatoes for various attributes such as ripeness, cracks, weight measurement, pruning, and packaging. These tasks are considered too challenging for machines, and therefore, the customer relies on human labor for these operations.

Robutcher

in Advanced

Viewer discretion is advised! The RoBUTCHER concept enables an autonomous meat factory cell. The main emphasis of the project is research into AI and cognitive systems, which will provide the necessary understanding for the cell to interact with the carcass through physical tasks like cutting, grasping and lifting. Research Work - Meat Factory Cell RoBUTCHER is a project funded by the European Union that aims to replace conventional line production in abattoirs with parallel production in autonomous “meat factory cells” containing robots that can lift, hold, cut, and debone carcasses.

Sausages

in pick and place

Challenge The customer was using a competitor’s vision system with 6 FlexPicker robots on 3 conveyors to pick sausages, but the system was not meeting their satisfaction. There were problems with accuracy, speed, and rotation of picks, and sausages were sometimes being destroyed. The system also struggled when there were many sausages on the conveyor belt. Solution We replaced the cameras with Nano 2020 cameras and trained an AI model to detect and identify different types of sausages.
