From Vision to reality: how AI is reshaping product inspection
Artificial intelligence (AI) in manufacturing is no longer a fascinating idea – it is already here and accelerating quickly throughout many industries, especially in the baking industry. Several reasons are fueling this revolution.
Reducing product waste in industrial bakeries
Product waste in industrial bakeries can arise from several factors, each contributing to the overall inefficiency of the production process. Understanding these causes is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate waste.
Easy as pie: AMF Bakery Systems automated lines for pies
The automated line designed by AMF Tromp can flexibly support a wide range of pies, either savory or sweet, in a baking tray, in foils, or in paper cups. They can bake the pie shells only, pies with the top opened or closed and pies with or without a lattice decoration. For (pre-)baking the pies, AMF recommends a Den Boer Multibake tunnel oven with impingement heating or a direct-fired system.
An automated eye for detail
Automated inspection systems are able to guarantee top product quality and safety – no exceptions allowed. In-line vision inspection technologies comprehensively inspect 100% of the products throughout the entire manufacturing process.
