Counting Baked Goods with 2D/3D Profile Sensors

To ensure the quality of baked goods and reduce waste, these goods must be monitored and counted during production. This is made possible by a 2D/3D profile sensor, which detects and counts different types of bread products after the freezing process – regardless of their position, including sideways or upside down. Several tens of thousands of objects are detected per hour with a precision of +/–0.1 percent via laser triangulation. The bread type and the counter values are configured via an Ethernet interface and controlled via a touch display on the system.
