Aris - Potted Plants
Aris has various vision solutions for grading and sorting potted plants. Plants such as Orchids, Bromeliad, Kalanchoe, Anthurium, Calathea etc. can be easily, reliably and quickly evaluated, graded and sorted, based on your specific requirements.
When is grading applied?
We have basic grading systems for sorting, typically in up to four classes. This is used to obtain uniform production.
When the product is ready, we have grading systems for final sorting. These more advanced systems can measure each feature that attributes to the plant’s ornamental value.
What can be measured?
Our camera system grades potted plants by height, width, volume, symmetry, density, number of buds, number of flowers, flower color, flower scattering, number of branches, stem thickness etc.
The system also detects shape deviations (length of branches, corner branches, flower position) of the potted plant. The cameras view the plant from the top and/or from the side. The vision system can also measure the color or leaf discoloration of the flower.
Customized measuring
Each vision system is customized and tailored to your specific wishes and requirements. In advance, the measurement characteristics of the plant are programmed in the software.
The sorting capacity of the camera system is determined by the size of the potted plant, the number of properties to be evaluated and the desired accuracy. The typical capacity of this camera system is between 1,000 and 9,000 plants per hour. In almost all cases, the capacity is limited by mechanical handling of the plant and is not limited by the camera system capacity.
