LMI Technologies brings 40+ years of leadership experience in developing smart 3D scanning and inspection solutions for the food processing industry. There are three primary applications LMI Gocator 3D Smart Sensors are used for: Process Control, Machine Control, and Packaging & Logistics.

Process Control

With Gocator’s built-in 3D inspection tools, real time volume information of material flow can be provided to downstream equipment, for example the volume of flour on a conveyor belt.

Machine Control

A common example of machine control is container fill level, which is critical to product quality and customer satisfaction and safety. Another example is portioning of product based on volume. Since the density of the product is known, the volume measurement alone will provide the information necessary to portion the product to the exact weight needed, no scales required. Grading of meat proteins requires a system to be able to provide more than just a simple PASS/FAIL no-go result. LMI’s FactorySmart AI solutions are being used by some of the world’s largest meat producers to effectively grade meat products. Aspects such as fat content or ratio as well as bone location and size can be used in our AI solutions to perform complex grading decisions.

Food Package Dimensioning

Finally food packaging requires strict adherence to regulation and trace-ability. Gocator sensors provide seal presence or absence and integrity information. After a product is placed in a box, sensors are used to calculate the amount of packaging materials needed to fill the empty space.

LMI now offers a Gocator 2490 NTEP Legal for Trade-certified solution for the accurate data capture of multi-dimensional measurements (LxWxH) used in the calculation of dimensional weight for packages in the food processing industry.
