Bamboo chopstick sorting machine solution

Automatic, high-speed, stable, and precise sorting greatly enhances product quality.

Xinje's bamboo chopstick sorting machine solution, powered by AI deep learning and using standard industrial cameras, enables automatic, high-speed, and precise sorting of bamboo chopsticks. It offers high stability and efficiency, surpassing manual quality inspection, and significantly boosts production capacity.

Industry background

With the development of the food delivery industry, the demand for disposable chopsticks has significantly increased. Most production companies still rely on manual inspection for defects or traditional machine vision methods, which gradually fail to meet the precision requirements of the manufacturing industry and struggle with defect target detection.

In response to this industry challenge, Xinjie has introduced a bamboo chopstick sorting machine solution. This solution, centered on AI deep learning and using standard industrial cameras, allows for automatic, high-speed, and precise sorting of bamboo chopsticks. It offers high stability and efficiency, surpassing manual quality inspection, and significantly boosts production capacity.

Control plan

The bamboo chopstick sorting machine solution mainly consists of an industrial computer, an industrial camera, and a PLC control system. After the camera captures images, they are transmitted to the host computer, which calculates defect results. The PLC compiles the results from eight operations, and then the corresponding compartment blows out the defective items, repeating the process continuously.

Solution Advantages

Precise sorting 

False detection rate below 1%.

Faster and more accurate

With the capability to inspect 8 sides of a chopstick, it can process over 1,000 chopsticks per minute.

Real-Time detection

Using AI model inference deployment and a high-end industrial computer to accelerate algorithm iteration, real-time detection is achieved.

Defect detection  

Accurately identifies small defects in chopsticks: black spots, mold marks, dark spots, green skin, pits, damage, etc.

One-Click material change

The AI model can be flexibly switched, allowing parameter adjustments based on the chopsticks themselves. It is highly adaptable, enabling one-click material change.

Flexible customization

AI models can be tailored to meet different customer needs, achieving comprehensive coverage of industry demands.
