PrimeCoMate is the industrial vision system for quality control directly on the production line, capable of completely replacing human work.

About

Thanks to PrimeCoMate, the inspection of the products on your lines does not require breaks, is not subject to errors of evaluation or distraction and is not limited to the single visual analysis that is adopted by man. PrimeCoMate is "zero setup": intuitive and immediately usable, it does not require configurations or settings and can be customized at any time to adapt to your tolerance meter. Human? No, human-like. It is not human, because it does much more. What makes PrimeCoMate surprisingly superior to a human's performance is its ability to: • Take advantage of its proprietary technology to learn independently, applying the acquired knowledge to the quality inspection of products • Accurately distinguish product variations, ensuring precision in the exclusion of defective elements and tolerance for acceptable anomalies • Improve its specific performances, through personalization and “safe improvement on demand” systems that allow a global improvement But what makes PrimeCoMate not comparable to a human being is its ability to: • Inspect each element impartially, without giving in to subjective evaluations • Carry out an uninterrupted check, with a performance effectiveness not subject to the normal drops in performance typical of the human being • Keep the rhythm and quality of the results constant, without distraction errors Completely autonomous! It does not require any user intervention. This is why it is simple, fast and convenient. PrimeCoMate, with its "zero setup" technology, is able to independently undertake the observation of production elements directly on the line. Having acquired the basic data, PrimeCoMate starts the proprietary auto-classification and, subsequently, auto-learning processes necessary to effectively implement its assessment. When fully operational, the system works by exploiting the unsupervised learning method, using self-created knowledge thanks to exclusive self-grading and self-learning procedures. Customizable if necessary. PrimeCoMate learns from you too: with additional rules and personalized criteria. The flexible system of PrimeCoMate allows you to modify, if necessary, the severity of the judgments relating to the three main evaluation criteria (morphology, color and aesthetic appearance) as well as manually adding control rules that will integrate with those that form the system automatisms. This does not translate into an overlap of different and potentially conflicting rules: PrimeCoMate is in fact able to apply the new cascade rules, running a fluid "selection of the selection" in order to optimize the effectiveness of your inspection. Each additional rule allows you to teach the system, through supervised training, to recognize specific details or defects of the product concerned. In this way PrimeCoMate will be able to: • Detect the presence and quantity of these details or defects • Get the degree of integrity of these parts • Evaluate the severity index of these defects More senses for more skills. The search for anomalies extends further. PrimeCoMate can be improved in its search for anomalies by extending the inspection to a plurality of senses, more developed than human ones. To the two-dimensional vision of the object, which allows its morphological, chromatic and aesthetic control, it is possible to combine 3D vision, when the analysis of shape alterations requires third dimension, and hyperspectral vision, which allows the detection of chemical alterations in the element. Each of these "senses" can be implemented in PrimeCoMate individually or together with others, to offer you a more complete and detailed analysis.

Key Benefits

The advantages of PrimeCoMate PrimeCoMate works automatically taking advantage of its built-in self-grading and self-learning procedures, therefore, for normal operation, it doesn’t need to be programmed nor have data inserted by the user. Where a standard system would stop working or would make a mistake because of its incapacity to distinguish a natural variation from a defect, PrimeCoMate applies built-in customizable tolerance criteria, drastically reducing the number of false rejects. This system of inspection, thanks to its self-learning and self-grading qualities, does not require the coding of all possible anomalies in instructions for the machine, therefore it can be fully flexible to adapt to any given need, going way beyond any other existing system.

Applications

PrimeCoMate is the ideal system for analyzing food and non-food products, reducing the margin of error to zero. This is thanks to its exclusive human-like ability to evaluate the particularities of each element by accurately distinguishing acceptable anomalies from defects. Bakery products biscuits - sweets - cakes - bread - crackers - pastry etc. Frozen products pizza - semi-finished meat and fish - stuffed and breaded foods etc. Sugar confectionery chocolate - pralines - candies - jellies - confetti - pastilles etc. Various foods fruit - vegetables - cheese - eggs - snacks etc. Drugs pills - capsules - vials - blister packs etc. Other products metal and plastic parts - die-casted and molded parts - PCBs etc.
