Ukrainian bakery factory contacted Abto Software to help them improve their counting system for production lines. The customer’s solution was designed to count loaves of bread, rolls on the conveyor belt. The initial version of the production counting system was designed and developed in MATLAB and had certain limits and restrictions:

  1. The automated system could not count products accurately if they were touching, or in disarray, all bread loaves should be placed in even rows on the conveyor belt.
  2. The program had low-performance speed since the algorithm itself was not optimized and required too many resources.
  3. The automated counting system had limited data processing capabilities: it could collect and analyze data from only four video channels.

Abto’s Automated Counting Solution

Having completed the investigation stage, our computer vision engineers understood that they would need to apply another approach to eliminate limitations of customer’s existing system for counting produce. Working in our R&D lab, using our IP,  we have developed our own product that applies computer vision algorithms to provide 99,5% accuracy.  The automated counting software processes video stream from IP-cameras. After running the application, we get a sequence of the video frames in one image and its binarized mask which is used to count products on the conveyor belt.

Since 2012, the Ukrainian bakery was licensed to use our automated counting software for their production.
