3D Cases丨Unlock the efficiency password of agricultural product quality inspection

As spring returns to the land, agricultural activities are picking up. Across China, it is now the crucial period for spring field management and preparations for spring ploughing. Various new technologies and equipment are empowering agricultural production and helping to ensure stable yields and increase income.

Not only is it necessary to race against time to seize the right farming seasons, but the later sorting stage is also all about "hustling".

Not only should the weighing, sorting and packaging be completed as soon as possible, but also strict control should be maintained over the standards, quality and safety to ensure that the freshness and high quality of the agricultural products are maintained when they reach the consumers.





Application Case: Corn Size Detection  

Processing speed requirement: 40 per minute per channel × 12 hours = 10,000 processed per day.

Quality control standard: Dimensional tolerance (specified width, height and length) ±1mm

Precise elimination of targets: Reduce the defective rate (missed detections and false detections) to below 0.5%.  





This solution selects the 3D line laser profile measuring instrument GL-8160, which has a maximum of 4096 points for the lateral profile data, can collect up to 49,000 profiles per second at the highest speed, and features an ultra-wide X-axis field of view and strong anti-interference capability.

Its measurement range is ±41mm (F.S. = 52mm), the reference distance is 160mm, and the Z-axis repeatability accuracy can reach 0.6μm.



With the support of this "black technology", not only can the efficiency and accuracy of picking be improved, but also the errors and waste caused by manual picking can be reduced.

It can also flexibly adjust the classification criteria according to actual needs, meeting diverse demands and providing more efficient and precise detection solutions for agricultural product producers.

 
 
Appearance defect detection

Before the initial inspection of agricultural products, they often have problems such as damage or foreign objects. The GL-8000, through high-speed scanning, can quickly identify damaged or foreign-object-containing substandard products, thereby reducing subsequent rework and resource waste.

 

Food cutting

The GL-8000 can obtain complete size data of products and work in coordination with robots to guide them to perform precise cutting according to the pre-determined size or dimension. This further reduces human error and enhances the consistency and stability of food cutting.



Sealing performance test

Poor sealing of agricultural products may lead to a series of problems such as spillage, contamination and food spoilage. The GL-8000 can capture precise data of the sealing area, thereby identifying products with poor sealing and eliminating those with potential risks in a timely manner, avoiding potential quality issues and food safety risks.
