In addition to being boring, it is also time-consuming to find fish that give the right weight to the cartons, which should weigh as little as possible over 10 and 25 kilos. With a lot of small fish, this work becomes extra demanding. It is equally important that this is accurate, as it directly affects the profitability of the company. A few grams here and a few grams there add up to big values. There are also requirements for how the cut fish is placed in the carton, in terms of space and which way the skin side should lie.
Overall idea:
To develop software and a robot solution that weighs, recognizes and picks cuttlefish and puts it in a carton.
Main objective:
To develop basic technology for an automated and efficient packaging line for 10 and 25 kilo cartons.
Sub-goals:
1. To identify points in the picking process
2. To develop a machine vision unit that can identify gripping points.
3. To design a picking device that can pick all different sizes of cuttlefish from drought.
4. To develop algorithms that use weight and machine vision for weight measurement of cuttlefish.
5. Carrying out weight optimization that coordinates several robots and distributes the jobs.
6. To assemble all the systems into a system that also ensures a good flow of products and packaging.
7. To design a full-fledged production line.
