XCD
Sort incredibly specific defects and optimize yields even at high capacities. XCD’s one-click technology enables operators to quickly train the machine on good versus bad. Once trained, the machine creates a multidimensional space that analyzes every aspect of an object. The result: outstanding defect detection with minimal false ejections and a smooth, intuitive experience for operators.
Why choose a sorter with the XCD platform?
User interfaces can be one of the most challenging aspects for operators performing a sort. Operators may have to navigate difficult‑to‑understand controls and learn a different interface for each machine on the processing line — XCD changes all of that.
XCD gives operators a straightforward interface with one‑click technology that makes it simple to identify defects, distinguish good from bad, and create sorting programs tailored to customer needs. What’s more, the XCD interface is common across the newest generation of TOMRA machines, including the 5C, 4C, and 5B. This means operators only need to learn one interface — greatly reducing the time required for training. Your operators will be easily able to deliver the outstanding performance — and yield — you expect.
Whether you sort nuts, potatoes, or vegetables, there is an XCD‑equipped solution available.
Deep Dive: The TOMRA XCD Platform
At the heart of the newest generation of TOMRA machines, the XCD platform enables a more accurate sort than ever before. The 4C (pictured above), 5C, and 5B all utilize this technology to deliver outstanding sorting performance while helping operators save time.
One of the major benefits of the XCD platform is the greatly reduced time required to create sorting programs. Its simple interface and intuitive workflows minimize complexity. Sorting parameters related to shape, color, size, and quality can be easily entered. Once trained, XCD retains the definitions of “good” and “bad” for use in future sorts. Depending on sorting requirements, operators can quickly adjust sensitivity using an on‑screen slider. Continuous improvements make the solution easier to use all the time.
Beyond faster setup, XCD empowers operators to deliver a more accurate sort. The interface includes a powerful graphical simulator that allows operators to mark an image. They can use this to train the machine on an unprecedented range of colors, simulate a sort, and then easily accept or reject a color as part of the program. XCD also provides enhanced capabilities for sorting by object shape. Operators can now specify parameters such as length and thickness, and simulate results before running a sort.
Finally, XCD helps food processors maximize yield through smart ejection. This capability uses operator‑defined parameters and de-clusters groups of objects to ensure that only defective items are removed, keeping good product in the flow, and maximizing overall yield.
