Tofu Counting

Problem

• The tofu manufacturer faces challenges in accurately counting the fried tofus going into a single packaging.
• Manual counting is prone to errors due to fast-moving lines.
• It also fails to provide real-time insights and statistics on the efficiency of each line. This limits the benefits of real-time production monitoring.

Solution

We developed a desktop application that detects and counts fried tofu using a segmentation model.

• The count is updated in real time and displayed on-screen for each package pass.
• Daily reports can be easily exported and analyzed by improving the workflow of food production automation.
• The solution is designed for quick integration into existing food packaging automation lines.
• Built to support food processing automation. It increases speed, accuracy, and operational clarity.
• Helps with packaging line optimization by identifying trends in discounts or drops in output.

Implementation Challenges

• Achieving accurate segmentation and counting on fast-moving tofu pieces.
• Ensuring consistent results under different lighting and frying conditions.
• Integrating with existing automated food packaging systems without halting operations.
• Providing exportable data that aligns with production reports.
• Designing the UI for non-technical plant operators.

Key Features

• Real-time tofu detection and counting display.
• Compatible with high-speed production lines. 
• Easy daily report export for batch tracking.
• Seamless integration into food packaging automation environments.
• Supports operational scalability across multiple lines.
• Improves overall efficiency in food processing automation.
