AUTOMATION FOR BAKERY — Trusted since 1972
Automation & Technology

See Every Defect. Before It Leaves the Line.

AutoEye® machine vision inspects 100% of your output such as size, shape, color and positioning — this prevents waste and improves consistency at full line speed with zero false-positive shutdowns.

99.4% defect detection across all standard product profiles

Why AutoEye®

Quality problems you can't catch by eye. AutoEye can.

Built exclusively for bakery inspection — not a generic vision platform.

01

Slice Count Errors Reach the Shelf

Short-count bags discovered after sealing mean manual audits, line stops, or shelf recalls. AutoEye counts every slice in every loaf before the bag is sealed — with zero sampling.

02

Fully Scalable & Networkable

Our vision systems offer seamless integration with other LeMatic automation solutions or third-party equipment. With the ability to track and analyze individual products at speeds over 300 pieces per minute.

03

Operators Making Reject Decisions at Speed

Asking a human to catch and divert a defective product at 300/ppm is unrealistic. AutoEye's integrated reject mechanism acts in under 50 ms — no operator decision required.

04

No Visibility Into Process Drift

By the time a quality issue is noticed at end-of-line, thousands of units have already been affected. AutoEye surfaces SPC trend data in real time — so you correct drift before it becomes a problem.

Integrating Vision Into Automation

  • Monitors & tracks product characteristics for size, shape & color
  • Identifies & removes undesirable product
  • Segregates rejected products to another conveyor or dump bin
  • Operates at speeds exceeding 300 ppm
  • Integration with LeMatic's data collection solution makes detailed analysis of per-piece quality a snap
  • Plenty of networking options to get information where you need it

Eliminate Bad Products Before They Disrupt Production

  • Industrial vision system looks for a variety of product flaws
  • Statistical information is displayed locally & can be communicated to process control system
  • Undesirable product is removed by active rejection fingers while not disturbing good products
  • In the event of a breakdown, a dump chute at the infeed can divert all product
  • Can be customized to handle a wide range of products
Common Questions

What bakeries ask about AutoEye.

Does AutoEye stop the line when it detects a defect?

No. Flagged products are diverted inline by an integrated reject mechanism in under 50 ms. The line continues running at full speed.

Can AutoEye handle multiple product profiles?

Yes. AutoEye stores unlimited product profiles. Switching between profiles is done from the HMI in under 30 seconds — no engineering visit required.

What is the false-positive rate?

Average false-positive shutdowns per production week is zero on standard product profiles. The system uses machine learning to self-calibrate after each product changeover.

How does FSMA 204 logging work?

AutoEye Ultra logs every inspection result with a timestamp, run ID, and camera frame reference. Data is stored locally and exportable via API for FSMA 204 traceability submissions.
