Q-Sort System

AI-driven sorting systems for consistent production quality and maximum efficiency.

sorting & bin-picking systems vision ai

Want to maximize the efficiency of your sorting process without compromising product quality? With the Q-Sort System, you can combine inspection and sorting into a single integrated solution. Vision AI analyzes each product individually and immediately triggers the appropriate sorting action. This allows you to address the biggest challenges facing the food industry: rising demand for food and labor shortages.

Smart sorting for maximum efficiency

The Q-Sort System automates the inspection, classification, and sorting of products based on your predefined quality criteria. This results in a stable and predictable sorting process, independent of human interpretation, fatigue, or variations in the product and environment.

  • Less waste and lower operating costs
  • Accurate and consistent sorting
  • Flexible software that adapts to product variations
  • Minimal risk of recalls

100% control over your sorting process

By combining Vision AI, cameras, sensors, and robotics, an integrated control system is created that brings together various technologies into a single, seamlessly functioning whole. The inspection data generated thereby forms the basis for reports, process optimization, and evidence-based quality assessment.

How does it work?

01
The Vision-AI system detects non-conforming products based on trained models. These models are built using predefined quality criteria, such as color variations, shape deviations, and damaged products.
02
The system inspects products and then automatically sorts them using robotic handling, tailored to your product and application with specific end-of-arm tooling.
03
The system collects and analyzes data on approved and rejected products, including position detection and grading. You can use this inspection data for reporting, process improvement, and supplier evaluation.

Tailored to your production

Every production environment is different. That is why the Q-Sort System is tailored to your product, line configuration, and capacity requirements.

→ Configurations ranging from 1 to 6 cameras, from 2D top-down inspection to a full 360° multi-angle product view.

→ Processing speed of up to 1,500 products per minute, with a rejection capacity of up to 80 products per minute. We can adjust higher speeds to suit your specific needs.

→ Robot handling and end-of-arm tooling tailored to product characteristics and hygiene requirements.

→ Fully food-grade construction, standard IP67 and optional IP69K for applications requiring intensive cleaning (washdown).

→ Can be easily integrated as:

  • Inline solution for existing lines (single-lane or dual-lane)
  • Fully integrated into machines via the STAQ® Technology Package
  • Stand-alone or as part of a new production line

You're in charge

Q-Sort systems stand out for their flexible integration into existing production lines. They are easy to install and ready to use right away, without the need for complex implementation processes. You can adjust the inspection criteria yourself whenever products or conditions change.

Quality and sorting operations are not only measured but also digitally documented. All data is recorded and converted into actionable insights for future optimization. It goes beyond simply sorting products. This allows you to add structural value to your process.

The Digital Heart

STAQ® is the digital heart of every QING food automation system—from quality control to fully automated sorting processes. STAQ® translates human perception, decision-making, and action into intelligent technology. It is more than just smart software; it is a comprehensive control platform that integrates various technologies into a single, seamlessly functioning system. Its strength lies in the combination of precision, flexibility, and continuous development.

Building a future-ready production line

Bolletje faced labor shortages and an aging workforce, which led to a loss of expertise and put pressure on production capacity. QING developed a sorting system on the STAQ® platform that automatically detects and removes defective rusks. This solution goes beyond mere sorting: the system also analyzes the root causes of deviations. This data provides Bolletje with valuable insights for continuously improving the process.

The result:

  • 1,000 rusks per minute checked
  • 70% quality improvement through consistent AI inspection
  • Saving 3 FTE of manual monitoring per day
