Optimum leverages four intelligent innovative technologies to deliver superior precision in automated French fry sorting. From intelligent algorithms to dedicated hardware, every component is meticulously engineered to boost production capacity, reduce waste, and increase profitability.

 

 

Elevate your quality control to new heights with Optimum’s M-TEC module. This intelligent detection unit is purpose-built to identify extremely fine metal fragments, including stainless steel, ferromagnetic metals, and non-ferromagnetic metal particles. Often hidden beneath products on conveyors or embedded inside fries, these contaminants are undetectable by cameras and laser equipment—but the M-TEC module reliably identifies such concealed pollutants.

 

 

The S-TEC module enables consistent inspection of the underside of every French fry, ultimately achieving six-sided full inspection. Featuring a patented design, it integrates high-performance RGB cameras with a rotating self-cleaning system to ensure stable, sharp imaging. By meticulously inspecting the bottom surface of fries, it significantly reduces the risk of defective product omissions and further improves product yield.

 

In French fry sorting, quality judgments are not always clear-cut. Minor imperfections such as slight discoloration may be fully acceptable to customers. The Sort-to-Spec intelligent tool puts full control in users’ hands, allowing precise definition of acceptable products and items to be rejected.

 

The Sort-to-Length intelligent tool also utilizes advanced image recognition technology, focusing specifically on length detection. The system analyzes each individual fry with precision, enabling users to flexibly set the ratio of short, medium, and long fries in finished products to better align with quality standards and customer expectations.
