Smart Applicator

Up to 3% give-away reduction

The AMF Smart Applicator automates manual operator weighing checks to keep ingredient application within specifications:
– reducing labor
– improving accuracy
– reducing give-away

The Smart Applicator visually inspects each product and makes sure the right amount of topping is applied without operator handling. It works for:
– cheeses
– proteins (tuna, chicken, ham, salami)
– vegetables (mushrooms, olives)

Real-time quality inspection for pizza line operators

In-Shift Quality Inspection (ISQI) alerts operators directly on quality issues during pizza production, enabling you to:
– quickly identify quality problems
– solve problems when they happen
– prevent further problems

Each pizza is analyzed and anomalies are reported to the operator in detail:
– type of anomaly
– number of anomalies per type

Analyze quality trends across shifts
and steer improvements

An additional feature of ISQI brings quality inspection to the line or plant manager, in order to:
– improve root-cause analysis
– increase quality across lines and shifts
– perform actual visual inspection of products

With continuous quality inspection and analysis, it becomes easy to spot structural quality problems over various products, recipes, shifts, and lines.

Hands-off quantitative ingredient
compensation

Quantitative Ingredient Compensation (QIC) automatically manages the obligation to produce against the standard declared weight of the product.

QIC exactly weighs the un-topped pizza bases early in the production processes. At the start of the topping line, inaccuracies in the weight of the base are compensated by the AMF Powershot Depositor.

Fully unattended quality rejection

Active Quality Rejection (AQR) uses the anomaly detection capabilities of the ISQI and QIC to actively and accurately reject products of low quality or incorrect weight.

AQR can be configured to automatically reject products based on different quality criteria to keep waste to a minimum.
