Applications

Measure Quality Where It Matters

Used in the lab or at-line, TheiaVu® systems produce critical measurement data on final products or at various stages throughout production for both quality and process control.

Typical Applications Include:

Incoming Inspection: Inspect raw materials quality, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, and more
R&D: For bakeries or ingredient producers, quantify the baked goods fresh out of the oven based on a new formulation or a new ingredient (can also be before baking, during proofing, etc)
Process Improvement: Quality sampling at every stage of production provides teams with the data they need to improve processes
Quality Control: Before packaging, inspect final products or works-in-progress for quality control
Program Development: Assistance with creating standards for quality assurance programs
Training: Use the TheiaVu® for training staff on in-line or over-line systems, it operates on the same user interface

How It Works

Compact Machine Vision for Quality Control

TheiaVu® vision inspection systems, also referred to 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 built-in conveyor belt.

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.

To Inspect a Product:

Power on the system
Select the desired measurement profile using built-in operator interface
Place the object on the moving conveyor belt
Instantly view the results on-screen

You can continuously feed multiples of the same product onto the belt without resetting the system and all data will be saved. There is no need for manual note taking or spreadsheets.

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.

Bread Crumb (Porosity) Analysis

‍

TheiaVu® systems are capable of providing an additional level of detail for analysis – crumb analysis. Crumb analysis provides details about pore size and distribution and texture expectation (airy, dense). This data is important for QA and R&D teams that are conducting in-depth analysis of their baked products and testing or verifying recipes, as well as for QA teams to collect accurate, repeatable data for process control.

The crumb analysis is an option for TV-250HR. It uses a high resolution camera and special lighting for best picture quality. Parameters measured are number of pores, pore area, largest pore area, largest pore diameter, and average pore diameter. Pores can also be divided into three groups by size with same set of parameters provided for each group.
