Distributed Vision-Based Process Control Systems
KPM Analytics provides a range of vision system modules designed to monitor a specific production process step.
The measurements taken at each vision module at each point in the line can be collected and displayed at the control station and reported in real time. This data can also be added to a database allowing further analysis and correlation of this data to assist in improving the production process and the quality of the finished product.
Examples of process steps that can be monitored are the following:
- Baking (bake color, oven feedback)
- Control before sandwich creation (for “sandwich” biscuits)
- Control of single topping/decoration steps
Feedback Loops – Oven Control
By installing a KPM Analytics Vision System at the oven exit, it is possible to integrate our exclusive Real-Time Oven Feedback Module, which uses the measured bake color to automatically adjust the oven settings.
Key benefits:
- fully automatic control of the last two zones of the oven
- objective bake color measurement
- continuous automatic monitoring of product quality
- automatic real-time actions to correct out of specification situations
- improved product color consistency over the time
- waste reduction
