Accurate package dimensioning is a critical requirement for efficient automated sorting and material handling. Here, the Contrinex Smart Camera 3D leverages advanced Time of Flight (ToF) technology to capture precise real-time measurements of a package’s length, width, height and orientation.
By providing accurate 3D dimensional data, the camera enables automated sorting systems to make rapid decisions regarding package positioning and routing, supporting consistent and error-free operation across the entire handling process.
Smart Camera 3D is complemented by the Smart Vision App, featuring a ready-to-use Object Sizing algorithm. This includes an intuitive no-code configuration wizard that allows users to commission measurement applications in just a few steps, eliminating the need for specialist machine vision knowledge or software development expertise.
During setup and operation, live camera imagery displays each detected object together with its measured dimensions in millimetres. Operators can instantly verify measurements for packages of varying sizes while simultaneously viewing the object’s orientation angle. This additional positional information can be used to optimise conveyor alignment and improve downstream handling accuracy.
The combination of the Smart Camera 3D and Smart Vision App delivers:
- High-accuracy package measurement for reliable handling and sorting
- Real-time dimensional and orientation data
- Rapid deployment through a ready-to-use Object Sizing application
- Simple no-code configuration and commissioning
- Robust performance enabled by advanced 3D Time of Flight technology
The solution offers a range of operational advantages, including:
- Improved sorting accuracy through precise package dimensioning
- Higher throughput and efficiency enabled by real-time measurement data
- Reduced engineering effort thanks to intuitive no-code setup
- Flexible operation across a wide variety of package sizes and shapes
- Streamlined integration with onboard image processing capabilities
- Faster installation and commissioning, reducing deployment time and costs
