AI-Powered Vision Technology

ClassifEYE^® 2.0 Grading After Chilling

Fast and Accurate Decision-Making

Vision technology has become increasingly important in the poultry processing industry, as it offers numerous advantages over traditional visual inspection methods. With the use of advanced cameras and Artificial Intelligence, vision technology can quickly and accurately inspect poultry products for defects, contaminants, and other quality issues.

Benefits

Advanced AI-based vision technology to accurately determine quality
Real-time classification system that can detect and classify all parts of each bird
Capable of learning from previous inspections, adapting to the local production environment, and improving accuracy over time
Individual quality detections are merged into an overall quality grade for each bird used to determine further distribution
Real-time defect monitoring to immediately correct upstream processing
Captures a wide variety of quality issues
Quality reporting offering easy configuration options to meet specific user requirements
The grade setup is as simple as moving a slider between photos showing different degrees of quality damages
ClassifEYE^® 2.0 seamlessly integrates with other data capturing equipment and transfer solutions from BAADER

Best Use of All Chicken Parts

Poultry processors face a challenge with the natural variability in live bird intake when trying to maximize utilization of all parts of the chicken and meet customer orders. To achieve optimal bird distribution throughout the entire plant, a real-time classification system is required. With the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), vision technology can learn from previous inspections, continually improving its accuracy over time which is the case of ClassifEYE^® 2.0.

Advanced AI Technology

The ClassifEYE^® 2.0 system uses the most advanced AI technology to adapt to the local production environment and to ensure the highest detection quality at all times. The system computes macro-grades for all parts of the bird and then combines them into a weighted bird grade, which can be used for further best-suited distribution to the downstream processes: whole bird packing, cut-up, deboning, retail and Food Service.

Upstream Processing Improvements

ClassifEYE^® 2.0 provides accurate defect detection and assistance in identifying the root cause through detailed and easy-to-understand detection widgets. The system’s dashboard is accessible within the local ClassifEYE^® 2.0 network and allows immediate upstream corrections once a value-reducing threshold is reached. Immediate adjustments of processing parameters result in a rapid decrease in carcass damage and fewer downgrades, ultimately leading to the optimal value of every part of the bird.

Built to Withstand a Rough Production Environment

For the highest detection details, the camera features a 1.4 megapixel colour sensor with specifically chosen optical components to imprint all available information in one shot to a digital data frame. The AI of ClassifEYE^® 2.0 takes colour, texture and shape variations into account for precise detection. Robust construction and industrial-grade materials make the cameras highly durable, and able to function reliably in a rough production environment.
