Systems are designed to perform reliably regardless of variation in product size, shape, or presentation, maintaining accuracy even as line speeds increase.
Food production is one of the most challenging environments for automation.
Products vary naturally. Conditions change constantly. And yet, the expectation remains the same: consistent quality, delivered at high speed.
Tordivel’s approach to food inspection is shaped by that reality. Its systems are designed to perform reliably regardless of variation in product size, shape, or presentation, maintaining accuracy even as line speeds increase.
In practice, this means supporting a wide range of tasks. Systems can sort products by colour and shape, detect defects, guide robotic handling, and verify packaging and assembly. Each of these functions contributes to a broader outcome: improved product quality, reduced waste, and greater confidence in the production process.
The challenge becomes more complex when dealing with fresh or live products. Unlike manufactured items, they do not conform to fixed specifications. This is where Tordivel’s combination of Scorpion Vision Software® and advanced 3D technologies becomes essential.
Systems such as the Scorpion 3D Stinger allow machines to interpret natural variation in real time, adapting to differences rather than rejecting them. This capability is particularly important in applications like automated fish vaccination, where precise identification and positioning are required to locate injection points safely and accurately.
What emerges is a shift from simple inspection to something more capable: systems that can understand products as they actually are, not as they were expected to be.
Aluminium production presents a different kind of challenge for automation.
The environment is harsh. The materials are heavy. And the tolerances are tight. Small inaccuracies can lead to significant inefficiencies, or worse, operational risks.
Tordivel has been working in this space for nearly two decades, beginning with early developments in inline 3D stub alignment in 2005. Since then, its systems have been deployed in large-scale operations such as Hydro’s plant in Sunndal and Qatalum in Qatar, facilities where reliability is critical.
The core challenge is positioning.
In aluminium smelting, the precise alignment of anodes and stubs directly affects process efficiency, product quality, and safety. Traditional automation methods struggle in this environment, largely due to the combination of heat, dust, and mechanical complexity.
Tordivel’s solution is based on non-contact, real-time 3D measurement. Using systems built on the Scorpion 3D Stinger, it becomes possible to detect, measure, and adjust positioning without physical interaction.
These systems can:
The result is consistent, repeatable alignment, even in environments where traditional sensing methods fail.
As aluminium producers continue to push for higher efficiency, lower emissions, and safer operations, this kind of intelligent automation becomes increasingly important. Tordivel’s role is to provide the precision and reliability required to make that transition possible.
