Bottle shape recognition

Our bottle shape recognition is an autonomous working camera system with
special lighting for the detection of the bottle type.
 
The integrated image processing software checks the bottles´ input direction
and its bottle type. The results are transmitted via serial interface or Ethernet.

The integrated webserver allows an easy configuration via network with a web
browser, without installing an additional software. If needed, a software update
or central stored datas can be transfered direct onto each reverse vending
machine via remote maintenance.
