Motion detection systems for fruit containers

Motion detection systems for fruit containers

The customer: manufacturer of automatic machines for the fruit and vegetable sector

A young and dynamic company, established only a few years ago, specialising in the design and construction of automatic machines for the fruit and vegetable sector.

The request: to detect the passage of transparent plastic trays

The customer was faced with the need to accurately detect the passage of transparent plastic trays on a conveyor belt. The challenge was to find a reliable and fast sensor capable of handling the transparency of the material, thus eliminating any obstacles in the production chain.

The development process: analysis and comparative tests

Starting with an analysis of the customer’s difficulty, we worked with Datasensing to identify a suitable sensor for detecting transparent objects. We carried out tests on a machine at the customer’s premises with the aim of overcoming the problem of transparent trays by guaranteeing repeatability of the result and speed of execution.

The results obtained: speed and repeatability

Our synergy with Datasensing led to the identification of a sensor effective in detecting transparent objects. Tests on a customer’s machine demonstrated an effective solution to the problem, guaranteeing excellent results in terms of repeatability and speed of execution. The implemented solution not only exceeded functional expectations, but also contributed to resource savings and achieved technical approval.

Customer feedback: satisfaction with problem resolution

The customer expressed great satisfaction with the effective resolution of a problem he had been unable to address with other brands. The proposal of the new generation sensor turned out to be the optimal decision, gaining full approval, and the intention to adopt the product for future automatic machine implementations was confirmed.

Development of a Custom Product for Machine Safety

Development of a Custom Product for Machine Safety

The customer: industry specialising in the production of automation lines

After a long collaboration with a major company specialising in automation lines, the company presented us with a challenge which we accepted with enthusiasm. It required the customisation of a product that it purchased regularly, with the aim of optimising installation and testing times.

The request: customisation of a product to save time and increase security

The customer needed to adapt a standard product to reduce installation and testing time, especially considering the associated safety requirements. The challenge was to balance customisation with the safety standards required in the automation line sector. Given the nature of the product, which is closely related to machine safety, it was essential to carry out checks and take additional precautions to ensure high safety standards.

The development process: creating a dedicated product

We collaborated with Pizzato, starting with the detailed collection of the technical specifications of the system for consistent customisation. A continuous exchange of information and documentation allowed the creation of a test prototype. Subsequently, we made the necessary modifications until we defined the finished product, equipped with a dedicated and exclusive commercial code.

The results: reduced production time and increased loyalty

The collaboration led to significant results, allowing the customer to reduce production time and costs. The delivery of a custom-configured product has not only optimised operational efficiency, but has also contributed to greater customer loyalty. We reserved a dedicated and ‘armoured’ code, avoiding the risk of independent purchases by other customers to guarantee exclusivity without sacrificing ease of ordering.

Customer feedback: appreciation for efficiency and customisation

The customer highly appreciated the efficiency of the process and the ability to customise the product to their needs. The solution exceeded expectations, enabling the customer to meet industry-specific challenges with greater confidence and efficiency.

Motion detection systems for coffee packages

Motion detection systems for coffee packages

The customer: manufacturer of automatic food packaging machines

A well-established company in the field of automatic food packaging machines, with a long history. The company, active in national and international markets, stands out for the design and construction of complete systems, guaranteeing a continuous service from the initial concept to final testing at the production plant.

The demand: the detection and distinction of the product by packaging

The customer faced the challenge of accurately detecting the passage of coffee packages on a conveyor belt, with the added complication of the variety of packages in terms of colour and type. This diversity required constant adjustment of the sensor, prompting the customer to look for an all-in-one solution capable of dynamically adapting to packaging variations.

The development process: analysis and comparative tests

We started by analysing the customer’s difficulty and identified a selection of functional products. We collaborated with Datasensing to conduct comparative tests at the production site, using new generation sensors.

The results: resource savings and technical approval

The synergetic partnership and our understanding of the plant’s needs allowed us to identify a sensor that exceeded the customer’s functional expectations. The solution we developed saved money compared to previously adopted systems while guaranteeing technical approval.

Customer feedback: satisfaction with performance

Our consultancy was a key element in finding and implementing optimal solutions for the customer’s specific challenges. We were highly satisfied with our pragmatic approach and appreciated the ability to present an even better performing machine to their end customers without additional costs. The implemented solution not only exceeded functional expectations but also contributed to economic optimisation.
