Checking 100,000 Rolls Per Hour: Perfect Baked Goods in Record Time!

Experience next-generation inspection with cutting-edge 3D sensors that rapidly and accurately check every roll directly on your production line. Deliver perfect, consistently high-quality baked goods— boosting efficiency, reducing waste, and exceeding customer expectations with an impressively fast throughput. “The production lines pass up to 100,000 bread rolls per hour, which are neither organized nor all next to each other, but rather partly on top of each other. The conveyor belts are also wider than one meter, so the sensor we were looking for had to have a wide field of view and a high resolution,” reports ISW Managing Director Tobias Wichmann. He also explains that the inertia of the conveyor belts was a difficult factor during application development. “The industrial baking lines operate 24/7 and must not be interrupted. The large baking lines are programmed in such a way that they sometimes have an hour’s lead time if changes need to be made. This is the only way to avoid losses and system damage,” mentions Wichmann.
