Machine building

L'automatisation BFP est active depuis 2010. De nombreux instruments sur mesure ont été construits au fil des années pour les industries des boissons, de l'emballage, du bois et de l'agriculture, pour les environnements de production, les laboratoires et la R&D ainsi que les centres de recherche. Malheureusement, des clients comme AB InBev, BP, Solvay et d'autres nous empêchent de partager nos créations car nous sommes liés par un accord de confidentialité que nous respectons bien entendu.

Pour la construction de machines, nous faisons appel à nos partenaires réguliers CTRL-Matic et Cloud-Consulting depuis près de 10 ans.

CLASSIFICATION AND REGISTRATION OF STRAWBERRY PUNNETS
 

CLASSIFICATION AND REGISTRATION OF STRAWBERRY PUNNETS

The 3D FruitSorter consists of a 3D laser camera that classifies a filled punnet with strawberries based on the measured diameter. The 3D visualization technique is able to create a high-quality image that is easy to process with the vision tools, from which a sorting can be realized according to the sorting classes:

Large 2A: strawberry diameter > 35mm

Large A: strawberry diameter between 31-35mm

Small: strawberry diameter smaller than 31mm

The Vision unit performs the diameter measurement on strawberries located at the top of the punnet. Several combinations of vision algorithms are used for this. The result of the classification is communicated via a Profinet connection to the parent control so that the end result can be registered in an SQL database.

3D SCANNER WITH VISION ANALYTICS SOFTWARE
 

3D SCANNER WITH VISION ANALYTICS SOFTWARE

The 3D displacement sensor combines GigE Vision and laser strip lighting to generate information about three-dimensional objects that cannot be easily generated by cameras that acquire two-dimensional images. Each sensor projects a triangular laser plane onto an object as it comes into view. In this way, a matrix of height measurements is built up with which the software is able to create a 2D and 3D image. The height measurement enables the system to distinguish strawberries/fruits from each other, which is not possible with 2D cameras due to too little color contrast.
