Machine Vision & Rugged HMI in the Food Industry

Enhancing Food Manufacturing Efficiency with AI-Enabled Machine Vision and Rugged HMI Solutions

For today’s food manufacturing companies to stay competitive, it is crucial to maintain both top-quality output and optimal productivity. To achieve this, companies need to automatically classify products and filter out defective items passing down the production line. The implementation of AI-enabled machine vision can significantly streamline and accelerate this inspection process. By integrating AI, automated optical inspection (AOI) can amplify its capabilities through deep learning to achieve unparalleled speed and accuracy, delivering consistently reliable results not possible with human or traditional rule-based vision inspection. Aside from AI, workers require a user-friendly Human Machine Interface (HMI) to operate and monitor machines and devices. A ruggedly designed monitor is crucial for the food industry.

AI Vision and Machine Learning

AI and machine learning are transforming the food industry by enhancing quality and productivity, especially amid labor shortages. To enable next-generation machine vision, an AI-powered embedded vision system is essential. With high-performance Intel® Xeon® or Core™ processors and a robust GPU or VPU accelerator, these systems can scan vast numbers of product images in milliseconds, detecting subtle defects with speed and precision using deep learning technology.

IPC964A: High-Performance 4-Slot Industrial System for Machine Vision

Powerful Computing Capacity

The IPC964A is powered by 13th and 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9/i7/i5/i3 processors with up to 64GB DDR5 memory and advanced GPU integration options, delivering robust performance for real-time image processing and deep learning tasks for high-demand inspection and sorting applications in the food industry.

Durable Industrial Design

The IPC964A is designed to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C, meeting the environmental demands of food processing facilities, especially in cold-chain operations or refrigerated areas. It also features a rugged construction with aluminum extrusion and cold-rolled steel, providing high shock resistance in compliance with IEC 60068-2-64 standards.

Expansion Flexibility and Versatile I/O

With up to four PCIe/PCI expansion slots, the IPC964A supports dedicated GPU cards for AI acceleration, along with frame grabber and I/O cards for vision I/O and camera interfaces, enabling quick and easy deployment of machine vision inspections.
