Fill level measurement made easy with the Contrinex 3D smart camera

Contrinex's latest app for their innovative 3D Smart Camera has been developed to make advanced 3D vision technology more accessible, enabling users to monitor container fill levels accurately without the need for specialist vision expertise or complex programming. The solution is designed to support process optimisation, reduce product waste and help maintain consistent production quality across a wide range of industrial applications.

Comprehensive fill level analysis

The new functionality provides contactless measurement of several key parameters, allowing manufacturers to gain a more detailed understanding of filling processes and product distribution within containers.

Measurements available include: fill rate (%) to determine the proportion of the container that has been filled; volume measurement of the material contained within the vessel; maximum fill height to identify the highest point of the contents; minimum fill height to detect the lowest point; and differential height measurement to assess variations across the surface of the material. Users can also define individual pass/fail thresholds for each parameter, enabling automated quality verification and more effective process control.

Simplifying industrial vision

A key feature of the Contrinex Smart Vision App is its no-code approach to machine vision deployment. The platform incorporates a growing library of pre-configured industrial applications that combine advanced image-processing capabilities with an intuitive user interface.

For fill-level measurement, a guided configuration wizard leads operators through the setup process, including container definition, object teaching and parameter configuration. Inspection criteria and tolerance thresholds can then be adjusted in the software, enabling systems to be commissioned quickly without the need for complex programming or specialist vision expertise.

Applications across industry

The technology is suitable for a broad range of sectors, including food and beverage production, packaging, logistics, materials handling and manufacturing. By providing accurate and repeatable fill-level verification, the system can help companies reduce waste, improve product consistency and streamline inspection procedures.

With the introduction of its fill level measurement application, the Contrinex 3D Smart Camera further expands its range of ready-to-use industrial vision tools. By combining powerful 3D measurement capabilities with straightforward configuration and automated decision-making, the system offers manufacturers a practical route to implementing advanced inspection technology with minimal integration effort.
