Infrared cameras ensure that burgers are cooked to perfection

IR cameras, along with associated hardware and software from Flir Systems, can inspect cooked food exiting a continuous conveyor oven to ensure thorough cooking through temperature measurement. The minimum, maximum and average temperatures can be collected for specific burgers or the field of view as a whole.

If the temperature of a burger is too low, the machine vision programme logic provides an alarm as well as displaying an image to the oven operator to show the specific burger that should be removed from the line.

In the production of frozen entrées, IR machine vision can use pattern recognition software to check the efficient filling of food tray compartments and inspection of the heat-sealed cellophane cover over finished dishes.

Compliance with many standard industrial interfaces, such as GigE Vision and GenICam, means the cameras can be integrated with a wide variety of similarly compliant equipment and supported by a broad range of third-party software.

IR machine vision and temperature measurements can be applied to an infinite number of automated processes. A stream of digitised IR images can be supplied at fast frame rates for relatively high-speed processes.
