BosanskiAnalyzing Cups And Lids For Fast Food Production
We automated quality inspection for Orkla Foods Sunda’s chocolate cup lines using an eleven-camera vision network. The system detects foreign objects and structural defects, guaranteeing flawless packaging and food-safe chocolate production.
The Challenge
Orkla Foods Sunda operates high-speed automated lines filling chocolate products into plastic cups. Manually verifying both container integrity and interior cleanliness at such production velocities is practically impossible.
Foreign objects left inside cups, or improperly seated lids, create serious food safety hazards and packaging failures – triggering costly product recalls that damage brand reputation and significantly erode the facility’s annual operational profit margins.
The Solution
We deployed an eleven-camera vision network across two production lines, unified under a single centralized operator statistics monitor. The system simultaneously inspects cup exteriors, lid placement accuracy, and container interiors for foreign objects – all in real-time.
Equipped with recipe management software and an onboard defect image archive, the platform reliably identifies micro-defects at full conveyor speed and automatically triggers pneumatic rejection mechanisms without interrupting production flow.
Our Implementation Process
Audit & Testing
We mapped both Orkla Sunda conveyor lines in detail to determine optimal camera angles for reliable foreign object detection inside plastic cups.
Hardware Setup
Eleven industrial cameras were installed directly over both conveyor lines without requiring significant mechanical plant modifications or production shutdowns.
Recipe Management
The central monitoring software was configured to store multiple product recipes, enabling operators to switch between different cup formats.
PLC Rejection Link
Via native industrial communication protocols, the vision system triggers high-speed pneumatic ejectors to automatically remove contaminated or defective cups.
Proven Results
The Results & ROI
Flawless Safety Rating
Every foreign object and defective lid is intercepted before the filling stage, fully safeguarding consumer health and protecting Orkla Foods Sunda’s integrity.
Single Screen Control
One centralized operator monitor manages live statistics, stored defect imagery, and product recipes simultaneously across both high-speed industrial production lines.
Zero Batch Recalls
Removing defective containers before filling eliminates ingredient spills, prevents costly material waste, and removes the risk of unplanned factory downtime entirely.
Rapid System Payback
The eleven-camera system recovered its full investment by eliminating manual inspection shifts and drastically reducing scrap rates from defective packaging.
