AI-Powered Robotic Sorting for Food Manufacturing
Using machine vision and AI, we automatically detect biscuit defects, improve consistency, and enhance food production quality and speed.
The Challenge
A leading cookie and biscuit manufacturer producing over 20 tonnes/month faced rising complaints about substandard products reaching packaging. Manual quality checks were inconsistent and slow, leading to frequent quality issues and financial penalties.
The Solution
iCubes delivered a Machine Vision + Robotic Automation solution to detect and remove defective biscuits in real-time.
Industrial Automation
- Deployed a robotic arm to remove defective biscuits directly from the conveyor belt
- Mounted real-time cameras to continuously capture and stream assembly line images
Software Automation
- Developed a custom vision model trained to detect anomalies such as color mismatches, incorrect sizes, broken pieces, and foreign particles
- Optimized the model to infer coordinates and guide the robotic arm for accurate extraction
- AI/ML ModelsCustom Vision Model
- LibrariesTensorFlow, OpenCV
- HardwareIndustrial Cameras, Robotic Arm
- IntegrationEdge-based image processing and command relay to robotic system
