| 9th May 2005 | Episode 3: Fruit sorting systems |
 |
The current problem for fruit suppliers is selecting, sorting or delivering fruit using mechanical flags for variety discrimination. At present they use special pallets which give rise to complicated mechanical parts resulting in frequent malfunctions and loss of production. In addition having to create new mechanical flags to deal with the different varieties coming through uses up time and money. Furthermore the system is often unreliable because water and dirt can cause reading errors in bar code systems. more... |

The importance of managing a wide variety of information, such as the date and place of production, the best-before date, and the destination direction is now greater than ever and has made quality control of foodstuffs very difficult. Food products cartons are in most cases cleaned with either alcohol, detergent, warm water or steam and so machines that have a low resistance to chemicals, high temperatures or that may allow bacteria to proliferate cannot be used. more... |
