How Visionerf helped Pattyn with their Vision challenges

Vision solutions for the bakery industry

Pattyn France is part of the Pattyn Group, a group focusing on bag-in-box packaging solutions. The French chapter, based in Savignac, primarily focusses on providing packaging machines for the industrial bakery and pastry sector. Vision solutions are essential to their sector, as bread and pastry products need counting by vision, quality inspection and are often picked by robots that are guided by a 3D camera. Bastien Marre, Managing Director of Pattyn France, has been with the company for many years and explains why they chose Visionerf’s Cirrus 3D camera for their vision needs.

High needs, high performance

Bastien Marre, Managing Director of Pattyn France, has been with the company for many years and explains why they chose Visionerf’s Cirrus 3D camera for their vision needs:

In our market, the production volumes and quality demands are steadily increasing. As the demand for bakery & pastry products is ever growing, our customers are installing higher capacity production lines and need to meet higher standards every day. Today, we are also the center of excellence within the Pattyn Group in terms of robotics, allowing us to develop increasingly automated solutions. Vision is essential to our sector, historically, because bakery requires quality control and a counting system. And our flagship feature is that the vision system controls the robot.

We were looking a suitable partner to help us solve our challenges.

The Argo3D, the vision sensor provided to us by Visionerf, is a more precise system that will enable our customers to enhance the quality level of their products. And it will enhance the capacity of their production lines.
