bonÀrea + ID Vision

Computer vision for automatic classification through the analysis of variable visual criteria

The challenge

Part of bonÀrea ’s operations involves classifying and identifying products throughout the production process. Traditionally, this task required two people working full-time on manually labeling chicken boxes, handling around 40 different box types.

The technical challenge

The high variability of visual criteria used to identify each box type resulted in a slow process with a high error rate.

The goal of ID Vision and bonÀrea was to develop a robust vision-based solution capable of delivering objective, fast, and reliable evaluation of the visual characteristics of the boxes.

The solution

Two independent vision stations were implemented to detect:

  • Number of chickens
  • Position of the chickens (horizontal, vertical, up or down)
  • Number of rows and columns
  • Box color
  • Presence or absence of bags
  • Bag color
  • Presence or absence of labels on chickens
  • Chicken color (white or yellow)

To handle this variability, ID Vision’s OneVision software was deployed OneVision enabling classification in fractions of a second. Gracias a esta solución se ha logrado la clasificación de las cajas de pollos en fracciones de segundo.

“Currently, with automated vision, we streamline the process to increase speed. It allows us to achieve a much more efficient process without human errors.”
