The CLK from Altenberge is a contact for intelligent solutions in industrial image processing and flexible robotics. Our roots lie in image processing for the production sector, where we are active in various industries. The systems developed by CLK are used, among other things, for object recognition, measurement, identification, quality assessment, and completeness control, as well as for robot guidance. Whether it's a standard solution or a custom one, we set new standards through innovative automation solutions for complex problems, including in the food and packaging industry. We implement customized image processing solutions for a wide range of applications with high performance requirements. Our solutions serve quality management and process optimization.
Image processing and artificial intelligence as a successful duo for product inspection
Automated and integrated into the packaging line, inspection systems can detect and sort out leaking packaging and foreign objects in a targeted manner. Still new in this field is the use of AI-supported image processing, which also detects plastic contaminants – a technology that has the potential to significantly increase efficiency in food processing. The innovative and future-oriented company CLK GmbH image processing & robotic is taking quality assurance in multihead weighers to a new level with the MultiCheck.
The optical inspection system MultiCheck reliably identifies plastic foreign bodies, a crucial advantage in the entire food industry. Especially in high-speed applications, where multi-head weighers often reach their limits, the patented MultiCheck operates in the final step before packaging within the scale. The compact MultiCheck with its four cameras is placed directly within the multihead weigher. The installation at the top of the discharge chute allows for a 360-degree panoramic view without blind spots. This ensures the best possible view of the falling food without encountering it. The multiple recording of a drop ensures that no foreign object is obscured by the product. Up to 100 drops per minute can be inspected. The image processing software must communicate in real time with the machine control to ensure the immediate removal of contaminants from the production line. If the system detects a foreign object made of plastic or other materials based on its color in the product stream, it generates a signal to stop the system or optionally eject the affected subset.
This innovative solution not only optimizes the production process but also ensures the highest quality standards. The MultiCheck by CLK is therefore a key instrument for increasing efficiency and securing product integrity in food processing.
The strengths of CLK are systems tailored precisely to customer requirements, which can be integrated into existing product processes. Extensive testing is a matter of course, as is involving the customer in our development teams. By using flexible hardware and software, the systems can be optimally adapted to the requirements of users in the food industry. The company's expertise ranges from turnkey automation solutions with fully integrated components to custom or serial solutions, as well as detailed feasibility studies.
