Catch unwanted material.
Identify foreign objects and visibly unexpected feed.
CONVEYOR ANOMALY DETECTION
See it coming.
Stop it going further.
Spot foreign objects, oversized rocks and build-up. Trigger a conveyor stop, material diversion or operator alert before the condition reaches the next stage.
Vision connected to action. Engineered for your plant.
Sight that protects
what comes next.
Unwanted material shouldn’t have a clear path into your equipment.
Watch the belt for agreed conditions and intervene upstream. Help protect crushers, avoid blockages and reduce disruption across the process.
Control oversize.
Flag material that exceeds the agreed size threshold.
Keep flow in view.
Detect accumulation, interruptions and changing material flow.
What your conveyor sees,
your plant acts on.
Combine vision with equipment status. Connect findings directly to PLCs, SCADA or the operator workflow.
Agree the response for each condition: stop, divert or alert. Validate the timing and control behaviour before commissioning.

The right view
makes the difference.
Camera position. Lighting. Belt speed. Material coverage.
We engineer these around the detection task, with processing hardware close to the equipment and interfaces matched to your controls. Additional sensing is assessed where it improves the application.
A few things
to see clearly.
How does a project start?
Start with a discovery call. We define what needs to be caught, the consequences of it passing and the action required, then review available footage and plant interfaces.
When is a paid feasibility assessment needed?
Where the application needs testing, we scope a paid assessment before proposing deployment. The scope sets out what will be tested and the acceptance criteria.
Can we use existing cameras?
Yes, where their view and image quality suit the task.
How is performance validated?
We test representative material and operating conditions, measure missed detections, unnecessary triggers and response timing, then evaluate in shadow mode before enabling control responses. Results are checked against agreed acceptance criteria.
Will it detect every unwanted object?
Detection covers agreed visible conditions. Testing establishes the operating range and limits.
Can it stop the conveyor?
Yes, where that response is engineered and validated for the application. This does not replace certified safety systems.
What does deployment include?
The agreed scope covers camera and lighting requirements, processing hardware, plant interfaces and commissioning. Operator alerts and any PLC or SCADA control responses are designed and validated for your application.
What happens after commissioning?
Handover, support and performance reviews are agreed in the project scope. Changes to material, lighting, belt speed or plant controls may require adjustment and revalidation.
