Simplified Vision Capture for Food & Beverage industry with Taicenn Box PC

Background:

With over a decade of experience in delivering advanced industrial computing solutions, Taicenn has equipped numerous companies across various industries with their rugged computers. One of Taicenn’s recent projects involved a customer in the food and beverage industry who faced a unique challenge in their quality control process. This case study highlights how Taicenn’s hardware provided a seamless and cost-effective solution.

This customer, a big player in the food and beverage industry, needed an efficient way to gather pictures of products on their existing food processing line for their quality management system. The goal was to ensure that product quality could be monitored and documented accurately and efficiently.

A critical requirement was to minimize installation costs by reducing the number of wires and cables needed. Additionally, the product needed to be compact enough to fit seamlessly into their existing production line.

Project description

After analyzing their needs, Taicenn’s TBOX-3D20 POE embedded computer seemed to be the right fit. The POE (Power Over Ethernet) capability of this rugged Box PC meant that separate power lines were unnecessary, which directly addressed the customer’s need to minimize wiring.

TAICENN Solution

The implementation process was straightforward and highly efficient. The TBOX-3D20 was mounted within an electrical cabinet on the customer’s processing line. From there, a single ethernet line was run to connect two cameras positioned along the line. This setup significantly reduced the complexity and cost of the installation.

The customer’s in-house maintenance team managed the installation process independently, which was possible due to the use of low-voltage cabling. This self-sufficiency further contributed to cost savings and minimized downtime during the implementation phase.
