Data Collection & Reporting Software
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:
- Forming (physical dimensions)
- Proofing (height, scoring)
- Baking (bake color, oven feedback)
Laner
The Laner is the ideal solution to provide a continuous flow of evenly laned products to your packaging machines.
- Reduce Labor
- Maximize throughput of packing machines
- Flexible capabilities:
- Number of lanes
- Type of products
- Size and shape of products
Line Configurations
- Line width: from 600mm up to 1.000mm (24" - 40")
- Straight infeed, 90° infeed
- Product throughput: from 300 pcs/min up to 1.000 pcs/min
- the one laning system can lane different products into different number of lanes
System Modules
- Accumulation conveyor module
- Laning conveyor module
- Laning chute
- Outfeed conveyor (option)
- Vision System used for product flow monitoring
