SensorX System - Fish

Overview

Can you spot a bone? We can!

Automatic Bone Detection System

• Uses advanced X-ray vision for best results
• Provides real-time feedback on rate of bone content
• Delivers higher product value with increased yield
• Offers better data, fewer bones and less rework

X-Ray Computer Vision

The SensorX Fish Bone Detection System automatically identifies bones and other foreign objects in fish fillets. The SensorX scans the product for bone content using X-ray computer vision. Detected bones are highlighted on a high-resolution display terminal for easy removal.

The SensorX detects bones of various types and sends a signal to a reject or a QC station which directs the fillets to different gates or work-stations, based on the bone content. Compact and easy to operate, the SensorX fits into most current processing lines without major changes.
Mission

Our mission developing the SensorX Fish machine is to have the most reliable and secure X-ray machine on the market. The construction is inspired by these two facts and that made the base for us to follow the steps where the market is heading. The market demand is to have bone-free fish products on all tables and we would like to involve our machine in achieving that goal. Research and Development for Product Inspection, Marel hf.

Features

1. X-Ray Scanning

In a dual stream, fillets enter the machine on a flat conveyor belt, and exit the machine from the other end. Using a lowenergy X-ray emitter and a sensor, two bone detecting systems – one for each lane – capture an X-ray image of the individual fillet. Using sophisticated image processing the image is analyzed for bones - pinpointing the individual fillets that need to be removed before further processing.

2. Data Collection

The machine detects bones of various types and sends a signal to a reject or QC station which directs the fillets to different gates or workstations, based on the bone content. Bone free fillets continue on to their final destination. Fillets with bones are directed to an operator for bone removal.

3. QC Station

Fillets containing detected bones are delivered to one of the buffers on the QC station. Each station can be equipped with a high-resolution display terminal, which highlights the bone location in color. The operator removes the remaining bones and returns the fillet to the conveyor for further processing.

4. Process Improvement

The operator enters the relevant information on the terminal for database storage, along with detailed data on detected bones for reporting. When no bones are detected, the QA operator can continue sampling to gather general quality information.
