Vision King – Wood & Wood Pulp

Technology Description

The main objective is to identify contaminants and quality restrictions on the surface of the wood, such as:

The computer vision applied to the inspection of wood or cellulose pulp has become an essential solution to ensure the lifespan of the equipment that processes the raw material and also the quality in manufacturing processes of pallets, boxes, furniture, and pulp for paper. Vision King uses cameras and image processing algorithms to detect defects, irregularities, contaminants, and specific characteristics of the wood surface that are difficult to identify with the naked eye.

Advantages

  • Safety and Real-Time Capability:

    Computer vision technology can operate in environments with machinery operating at high speed, even when it is too dangerous for people.

  • Precision and Consistency:

    Computer vision technology is more precise and consistent than manual inspection, reducing human errors and increasing efficiency.

  • High Speed:

    Real-time analysis allows for immediate defect detection, perfect for high-speed lines.

  • Increased Quality:

    The total and immediate analysis of production by the system allows for the detection of problems with machinery or even mechanized handling, preventing defect propagation throughout the batch and even anticipating corrections in equipment and processes.

  • Analysis and Reporting:

    Computer vision systems can collect data over time, allowing for the identification of trends and root causes of defects, in addition to optimizing processes.

  • Cost Reduction:

    The technology decreases the number of defects in the batch. It increases energy efficiency by preventing foreign materials from mixing with the inputs to be processed. It prevents defective products from reaching the customer.
