Inspection technology for the beverage industry

Inspection technology for the beverage industry
Due to the constantly increasing variety of products and variants in beverage production and beverage logistics, the optimization and automation of production processes is of great importance. Here, those who obtain comprehensive and precise information about the quantities and compositions of the empties at an early stage have an advantage.

Non-contact detection of the empties in the crate and the crate itself by means of industrial camera systems and powerful evaluation software is the key to success here. SCHULZ Systemtechnik has developed the Crate Inspector for this purpose. It works via state-of-the-art image processing and is perfected with forward-looking AI. Information for optimum material flow controls, downstream fully automatic empty goods sorting machines, and meaningful quantity and quality reports are generated in a minimum of space.

The right solution for everyone
Customers of SCHULZ Systemtechnik receive solutions that are perfectly tailored to their needs. This is made possible by the modular design of the hardware and software. This means that the optimum system configuration can be put together for every requirement. In addition, extensions to meet future requirements are very easy to implement.
The product range includes different detection solutions that function on the same hardware basis with an identical operating concept and can be combined:

- Optical empty crate detection
- Optical full crate detection
- Crate logo detection (also quality inspection)
- Empties inspection in the crate (from unpackability check to individual bottle detection)

Transparency through information
The SCHULZ Crate Inspector generates a complete picture of the inspected product. This data can be structured and made usable. Customers can use this information for a wide variety of purposes, generate reports and make optimizations.
