QMonitor
QMonitor is an in-line scanner used in food production and monitoring. It reads the full width of the conveyor belt and the products passing under it and creates a digital map with thousands of individual measurements per second. The optical set-up called transflection, enables light-measurement to penetrate far into the food product creating a very accurate measurement.
QMonitor can measure a range of features simultaneously. Typically fat, moisture, colour and defects are of interest. QVision can deliver this as an average measurement for the food product or map the distribution across the food product. This enables numerous applications. QMonitor can easily be connected to surrounding equipment such as a grader, printer or overall IT system for quality traceability.
