In high-speed production environments, such as sorting lines, the need for accurate, real-time identification and sorting of products based on predefined criteria (color, shape, size, defects) is essential to improve operational efficiency.
System Components:
BL450 Embedded Computer (Rockchip RK3588J, 4*Cortex A76, 4*Cortex A55, 3*M0 ,6Tops NPU, 2.4G))
Industrial Camera (1-4 units, global shutter)
Lighting, Lens, Trigger Sensor (for image capture)
Y-Series I/O Modules (DI and DO for control)
Display Screen (optional for monitoring)
How It Works:
Image Capture:
The industrial camera captures images of products moving on the conveyor belt.
Data Processing:
The BL450 runs vision algorithms (e.g., OpenCV) or AI models (using the 6TOPS NPU) to analyze the images and identify products based on color, shape, size, and defects.
Control and Sorting:
The algorithm outputs sorting results that control the Y-series I/O modules via Digital Outputs (DO).
The DOs then trigger pneumatic or robotic arms to perform the sorting action.
Real-Time Monitoring:
The BL450 enables real-time monitoring and data logging, allowing for continuous performance optimization.
Key Features of BL450 for Machine Vision Sorting:
NPU for AI-Driven Defect Detection: The 6TOPS NPU accelerates AI-based defect detection, enabling faster processing and more accurate results.
Multi-Camera Support: The system supports 1 to 4 cameras, allowing for detailed inspection from multiple angles.
High-Speed Processing: With the RK3588J processor and 6TOPS NPU, the BL450 ensures that the processing speed meets the production line’s cycle time.
Cost-Effective: The BL450 offers a more affordable solution compared to dedicated vision controllers or industrial PCs.
Edge Computing: Reduces reliance on cloud-based systems, providing faster, on-site decision-making.
Why Choose BL450 for Machine Vision Sorting:
Optimized for Speed and Accuracy: The BL450’s edge computing capabilities ensure high-speed processing, meeting the real-time demands of fast production lines.
Flexible and Scalable: The system can easily integrate additional cameras and I/O modules as the production line scales.
Cost-Effective Solution: Offers a powerful and affordable alternative to expensive industrial vision control systems.
Outcome:
Increased Throughput: The system’s real-time sorting ensures higher throughput and reduces bottlenecks.
Reduced Error Rate: Automated vision-based defect detection leads to fewer mis-sorted items.
Cost Savings: By using the BL450 instead of specialized vision controllers, the overall system cost is lowered.
Ideal For:
Smart manufacturing, automated sorting lines, and quality control applications across industries such as electronics, automotive, and food processing.
