Case Studies
Optical Inspection of Gnocchi and Spaetzle with AI Object Detection
Challenge
The customer required a solution that could reliably differentiate between gnocchi and spaetzle during high-speed production. Traditional inspection systems struggle with this task due to the products’ high variance in shape and texture. The key challenge was implementing a system that could ensure accurate differentiation between similar-looking pasta products without slowing down production.
Solution
senswork implemented an AI-powered machine vision system with its Neuralyze® software. Multiple camera systems were installed along the conveyor belt to capture images of the pasta products in real time. The captured image data is continuously analyzed by Deep Learning algorithms within the Neuralyze® software, enabling precise recognition and classification of each piece. By integrating into the production workflow, the system automatically sorts the pasta by type and directs it into the correct packaging line. This ensures reliable process control and consistent product quality without disrupting production speed.
