Product Overview

Instant Real-Time Counting of Loose Parts
This software instantly counts the number of scattered components within the camera's field of view. With proprietary contour feature analysis, there is no need for tedious product registration—simply place the components under the camera to start counting. By setting a target count, the accumulated results can be tracked, making it useful for verifying component quantities during small-lot packaging.
※ Manufactured by SAITOH Co., Ltd.

Features

Real-Time Counting

Simply place the components on a tray and insert them into the imaging device to count them. The count is displayed in real time, allowing instant verification.
You can also adjust the count by adding or removing components while they remain in the imaging device.

Target Count Setting

You can set a target count. When the accumulation button is pressed, the counted total accumulates, and the background color and display change when the target is reached, making it easy to identify at a glance.

No Product Registration Required

No product registration is necessary.
The system automatically recognizes component contours, eliminating the need for complicated product registration.

Overlap Detection

When components are spread out, they may overlap, leading to potential miscounting as grouped blocks of components are estimated. To prevent miscounting due to overlapping parts, these areas are marked in red.
※ If red markings appear, the components need to be spread out further.

Functions

・Contour Feature Analysis
Analyzes the characteristics of components with a camera and outlines the recognized parts.
・Counting
Displays the total number of recognized components on the monitor.
・Target Setting
Allows batch counting until the target quantity is reached.

Case Study

Product Flat Washer
Challenges
  • Manual counting of components is time-consuming.
  • Counting errors occur due to human visual counting.
Implementation Results
Manual With Device
Counting Time 18 min 30 sec 5 min 26 sec

The work time for counting 1,000 flat washers was compared between manual counting and using the device.
By introducing the device, counting work time was reduced by approximately 70%.
