Start year 2013 End year 2015 Funding (€) € 598,857 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/900923/ Summary The project is a continuation of the project Individual-based quality sorting and quality labeling of pelagic fish. The goal has been to test a two-track industrial prototype of a planned 16-track sorting system for pelagic fish, based on machine vision and weight estimation. Sorting of pelagic fish based on weight is done today using roll graders and manual follow-up. The roller graders are encumbered with relatively rough handling of the fish and a high degree of uncertainty in the accuracy of the sorting. Large fish will often occur among small fish classes and vice versa. This causes problems in the filleting machines and lower yields.
Based on the industry's desire for better sorting, several projects implemented in recent years have worked towards developing technology that has documented that better sorting is possible with machine vision and will have major positive effects on the land facilities' economy, fish quality and resource utilization. This project will test the industrial prototype of the sorting system for pelagic fish. The prototype will have full-scale capacity in terms of speed and capacity per track, but will have two tracks in contrast to the planned 16 tracks in full-scale model.
The reason why they chose to run the testing on two tracks instead of a complete machine with 16 tracks at once, is that the latter would require far greater rebuilding of the factory and entailed far greater costs and risk of downtime. With two tracks, it will be possible to maintain production and perform the testing next to it.
The system will be installed at Norway Pelagic, and the work in the project will ensure risk minimization in terms of development work towards a full-scale model."
"To find a final concept for ""individual sorting of fish"" on a large industrial scale, by transferring the laboratory solution to a prototype for size and species sorting line.
Sub-goals
• To clarify design.
• To be able to transfer the technology to a company for commercialization.
• To prepare drawings and profitability calculations for full-scale facilities at a commercial pelagic facility with a capacity of 40–50 tonnes / hour.
• To document the line's accuracy with regard to individual-based weight estimation and capacity / speed on the line's 2 tracks (project extension with test 3).
