Product Overview

More Measurements, Better Measurements

Sightline Over-Line vision inspection systems utilize a compact sensor head mounted directly over an existing production line to scan every object that passes underneath, in any orientation and at any belt speed, in order to generate a continuous stream of critical QA data, such as size, shape and color attributes, and production metrics such as throughput, uptime and capacity.

Applications

100% Inspection Made Easy

Every Over-Line system is capable of measuring over 200 different size, shape and color attributes for every product that passes underneath the sensor head. These measurements can then be used to provide real-time operator feedback and to ensure compliance with product specifications.

Typical Applications Include:

  • Measurement of physical product attributes such as shape, size and color of baked goods, meat, poultry, cheese, eggs, fruit, vegetables and pet food to detect quality issues
  • Identification of non-conforming products
  • Detection of foreign objects
  • Counting of every object to monitor throughput

Finished Product Examples:

  • Bread Products (loaves, baguettes, buns, bagels, english muffins, croissants, muffins, etc)
  • Cookies, crackers, biscuits
  • Frozen pizza and pizza bases
  • Snack Foods (snack bars, pretzels, potato chips, French fries, desserts, chocolates, candies, etc)
  • Cheese Products (blocks, snack pieces, wax covered, etc)
  • Meat and Poultry (Raw, breaded, grilled, patties, etc)

How It Works

Over-Line vision inspection systems, also known as machine vision systems, use a selection of high-speed cameras, a laser, and imaging software to detect and measure objects as they move along the included conveyor belt.

To begin inspecting products:

  1. Start the vision system when production of a particular product begins
  2. Select the product profile and tap on Start
  3. If desired, make needed specification adjustments before you tap start, either on the included operator interface, or with any PC connected to the same network.
  4. The system will do the rest.

Product profiles are easy to adjust or create using the measura® Toolbox module (included). All you need to do is enter your specifications and save. Next time you load the profile, your changes are applied.

Our proprietary measura® software suite and measurement algorithms can determine the size, shape, color, or composite measurement of any object and convert this information into standard units for quality control purposes. Results are displayed in real-time and data for every object is saved for future analysis and reporting.

These measurements can then be used to provide real-time operator feedback and to ensure compliance with product specifications. All measurements can be viewed by operators in a variety of graphical and numerical formats. Product measurement data and raw images can also be stored automatically for future review and historical reporting.

Easy to Install, Operate and Maintain

The small footprint and integrated, adjustable stand can fit into tight spaces with minimal modifications to existing conveyors, and no laning or spreading conveyors are required upstream of the system. To ensure longevity and easy maintenance, all of the components of the system are standard, off-the-shelf parts that are available from multiple suppliers, and no proprietary components are used in the system.

Customizable Solutions

With a highly skilled in-house engineering team, KPM Analytics has the experience and capability to design a specific customized solution in a standard system to meet your inspection requirements. Customized designs, small mechanical footprints and special imaging techniques are all available, and additional conveyors before or after the system can be added to make the overall solution a perfect fit.

Measurements

Using vision technology, your products are characterized in meaningful ways, including complex details that are difficult and time-consuming with traditional manual methods. Our standard measurements library consists of over 100 basic and advanced algorithms and growing.

Basic Measurements

  • Area, shape, color
  • Length and width
  • Diameters (min, max, avg, caliper, adaptive dimensions)
  • Item counts
  • Volume and slopes
  • Heights/thickness (min, max, avg, center, edge)
  • Cross-reference 2D/3D measurements with image stacking
  • Foreign object detection

Advanced Measurements

  • Template match (area match %, area outside of template %, max length outside template)
  • Adaptive length & width (curve follow)
  • Shine detection
  • Roughness (variations on edges)
  • Smart thickness
  • Bun coverage
  • Blob measurements - Find & measure specific features on an object (e.g. toppings, splits, foreign materials)

Production & Productivity Data

Measuring 100% of all products also provides a wealth of key ‘real-time’ production and productivity data such as:

  • Throughput and Capacity%
  • Defect % and Out-Of-Spec % (by type)
  • Uptime/Downtime %
  • Changeover Time
