The project
- A system based on highly reliable National Instruments real-time devices:
- CompactRIO hardware platform
- LabVIEW RealTime and FPGA software,
- Solution adopted by a leading multinational in the food & beverage sector.
Main features
- Uses an industrial camera known as a Smart Camera
- Captures high-resolution frames of the bottle being filled near its mouth, filming the final part of the operation in order to
- classify the type of filling and
- adjust the filler’s parameters accordingly (filling speed profile) to avoid under-filling, waste and spills
Vision Assisted Filling in detail
Vision Assisted Filling is an innovative project that aims to improve the bottle filling process in the food & beverage sector. The system is based on real-time devices from National Instruments, a well-known company specializing in highly reliable technology solutions. In particular, the project uses the CompactRIO hardware platform and LabVIEW RealTime and FPGA software, which effectively handle data collection and processing.
This advanced solution was adopted by a leading multinational in the food & beverage sector, which recognized the importance of integrating leading-edge technologies to improve its production.
The main features of Vision Assisted Filling include an industrial Smart Camera that captures high-resolution frames. With this device, the filling of the bottle can be monitored accurately near its mouth, and the final part of the operation can be filmed.
The camera makes it possible to classify the type of filling and adjust the filler’s parameters accordingly. In particular, the filling speed profile is adapted to avoid under-filling, waste and spills.
In short, Vision Assisted Filling is a leading-edge technology solution that can significantly improve the bottle filling process in the food & beverage sector. Using highly reliable real-time devices and advanced data processing software, it achieves greater accuracy and less waste.
