The CheckTray solution offers the following key benefits:
- More reliable inspection thanks to AI, with minimal false rejects.
- Format changeovers in less than 10 minutes, with fast configuration of new products.
- Easy installation on the existing conveyor line with minimal maintenance.
- Compact, robust and resistant design for demanding industrial environments.
- User and access-level management directly from the software.
- Automatic adaptation to multiple packaging formats.
- Wide operating range:
- Product height: 5–75 mm
- Conveyor width: 250–400 mm
- Speed: up to 180 blisters/minute
- IP65 protection rating (up to IP69 on request).
Ensuring Product Quality and Competitiveness
The main, explicit benefit is that it helps guarantee product quality while enhancing competitiveness.
High-Precision and Flexible Inspection
It uses Deep Learning technology, enabling the identification of unpredictable products and defects that traditional vision systems would miss, while tolerating potential variations in product appearance. It combines the flexibility of human visual inspection with the speed and robustness of an automated vision system.
Inspections:
Product quality
Detection of foreign bodies down to 1 mm:
- Glove fragments
- Plastics of different colors
- Hair
- Parasites
Detection of quality defects:
- Excess fat
- Bruises
- Bleeding
- Tumors
Heat-sealing defects down to 0.5 mm: SWIR technology for opaque packaging
Label inspection and code/OCR reading:
Packaging types:
- Trays: empty, open or sealed
- Tubs: empty, open or sealed
- Flow packs / Doypacks
Comprehensive In-Line Quality Control
Performs critical inspections on various packaging types (trays, tubs, flow packs, or doy packs) in-line and during packing. The main quality checks it performs include:
- Product integrity
- Detection of stains and foreign objects
- Heat-seal inspection to ensure proper closure
Versatile and Expandable System
The CheckTray system allows the addition of multiple expandable modules for more thorough inspections:
- Weight
- Hyperspectral (for composition or quality analysis not visible to the eye)
- Metal detection
- X-ray inspection
- Dual-sided inspection (to check both sides of the package, e.g., labels on C-shaped trays)
- Label control
- OCR reading
These modules enable even deeper and more comprehensive quality control than standard visual inspection.
