From real-time data to automated action

ABI Vision System Platform observes real-world conditions and turns data analysis into automated actions. Using learning and vision sensors, engineers developed product recognition algorithms for baked goods. Critical for robotic systems and quality assurance solutions, it can identify product types with 98% success and detect if products are touching. www.abiltd.com

Intuitive, sanitary transfer pump

Axis Automation designed its Hopper Buddy transfer pump to move products from floor level to elevated hoppers on process equipment. The Hopper Buddy contributes to a safe environment while reducing the potential for damage to other equipment. Intuitive controls make it easy for anyone to operate and easy to clean. www.axisautomation.com

Vision processor robot

BluePrint Automation’s Spider 300v is a two-robot case loading system with vision that allows processors and co-packers to package vertical and horizontal simultaneously. The machine can handle standard RSC cases, three-sided displays and other secondary containers. The frame reduces cost by minimizing wiring and eliminating bulky external electrical cabinets. www.blueprintautomation.com

Enzyme technology for consistent dough

Cain Food uses modern enzyme technology in PureBake to provide a consistent balance of dough extensibility and elasticity to improve gluten formation and stabilize the dough system. Resulting dough has post-proof stability and shock tolerance. PureBake increases product consistency and reduces need for added gluten and volatility of flour variation. www.cainfood.com

HP JAWS balances temperature

Cavanna’s HP JAWS incorporates new recyclable and/or compostable plastic-free films that are generally sensitive to temperature and require very short temperature intervals, sometimes in the range of 2-3° C. To facilitate this, Cavanna has developed JAWS with a system to balance the temperature on the surface. www.cavanna-usa.com

Reducing oils and hard fats

Corbion realized the role of oils and fats that help bakers maintain consistent quality and predictable performance in baked goods. The Vantage 2060 can deliver consistent, high-quality products while eliminating the use of mono- and diglycerides. This also will reduce oils and fats by up to 60%. www.corbion.com
