product. By implementing a software module, called Data Track Module (DTM), the company is able to generate information about the characteristics of the products in real time, during the sorting process. With the data of these analyses, different production processes can be optimized to ensure maximum return. DTM can contain different features

like Inline Length Measurement (ILM), Defect Trend Analysis (DTA) or other product specific modules. All classification methods can be used separately or together, depending on the application and the needs of the customer. The goal of Inline Length


Measurement is to classify objects based on their length. In real time, data is displayed on

EST Sorting uses statistical analyses to increase sorting efficiency and quality of the end


the machine, during the sorting process. The module has the possibility to


create multiple classification categories where for each category, certain length boundaries have to be specified. The Defect Trend Analysis module


is used to classify a product stream based on the particular defects it contains. Real time information is displayed on the machine, so the operator is able to adjust the machine settings or modify incoming product stream. By using both the ILM and DTA


module, the processing line can be optimised, using the statistical data as a reference, by increasing efficiency, which will improve yield for the processor and quality of the end product. The statistical data of the sorter can be integrated in an overall process control system. n
