AUTOMATION FOR BAKERY — Trusted since 1972
Automation & Technology

See Every Defect. Before It Leaves the Line.

AutoEye® machine vision inspects 100% of your output — slice count, gap detection, foreign objects, and color anomalies — at full line speed with zero false-positive shutdowns.

99.4% defect detection across all standard loaf profiles

Inspection cycle time per loaf at full line speed — 100% coverage, no sampling

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

Foreign Objects X-Ray Systems Miss

Standard X-ray misses low-density contaminants — packaging film, bone fragments, and hard inclusions — in bakery products. AutoEye multi-spectral imaging detects down to 0.3 mm.

03

Operators Making Reject Decisions at Speed

Asking a human to catch and divert a defective loaf at 120/min 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.

From the Field

What AutoEye customers say.

We caught a packaging film contamination issue within the first week of installation. AutoEye flagged 14 loaves the night shift never would have seen.

Short-count customer complaints dropped to zero in the first month. Our retail buyer noticed before we even told them we installed it.

Common Questions

What bakeries ask about AutoEye.

Does AutoEye stop the line when it detects a defect?

No. Flagged loaves 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 loaf 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, loaf ID, and camera frame reference. Data is stored locally and exportable via API for FSMA 204 traceability submissions.
