Digital Sorting: The Evolution of Intelligence
Food & Beverages Processing|August 2020
Symbiotic relationships between industry-leading equipment manufacturers and their customer's fuel innovation. Driven by food processors looking to solve problems and generate more value from their digital sorters, the capabilities of this technology continue to grow. To better optimize product quality, maximize yields, and increase automation, new solutions are continually being developed to offer early adopters a competitive edge.
Digital Sorting: The Evolution of Intelligence

Today’s sophisticated digital sorters are smarter than ever before. They feature more powerful computers that can process increasing volumes of data faster, supporting the development of more powerful software that achieves new functionality. This white paper focuses on the evolution of sorting intelligence, highlighting the most recent software-driven advancements that are increasing the value of digital sorters.

EXPANDING INFORMATION ANALYTICS

Information analytics is a broad category of software-driven intelligence that enables a smart sorter to collect, analyze, and share useful information across the processor’s enterprise. This highly customized capability can collect real-time data and batch reports about the sorting process and every product and object flowing through the sorter, whether that data is used to make sorting decisions or not. By turning data into knowledge, it improves the sorters accept/reject decisions and enables more informed decisions about the processes upstream and downstream of the sorter.

What’s new is the ease with which this powerful capability can be harnessed. Today’s most sophisticated digital sorters feature advanced software that enables universal connectivity. These sorters can easily integrate with virtually any factory automation system such as MES or SCADA from any manufacturer, using any software protocol
