Video Case Study: Omron Vision Solution Cuts Candy Bar Waste

A case study shows how Omron reduced waste by over 90 percent using a vision system to inspect wafers before they become BIS candy bars, a layered confection of wafer and chocolate.

Nov 21st, 2008

By installing two cameras and one vision sensor (model F160) per line, Lacta was able to inspect each wafer slab for these problems:

- Holes in Wafer Board
- Burned spots or Impurities
- Check for any possible breaks in center and bad formation
