SANOVO | Vision Weighing: The Next Step in High-Capacity Egg Grading

06 May 2026

As grading capacities increase, maintaining stable and reliable weight classification becomes more demanding.

With the VisionAI Detector, SANOVO introduces contactless vision weighing as part of a fully integrated inspection platform. Using high-resolution image capture and structured algorithms, eggs are weighed in motion without mechanical load cells.

The result is consistent weight categorization, reduced mechanical wear, and stable operation at full production capacity.

Learn how vision weighing works and why it is becoming increasingly relevant in modern grading environments.

BENEFITS

No mechanical wear

Contactless vision-based operation using image analysis eliminates wear-prone mechanical components, resulting in lower maintenance needs, longer system lifetime, and reduced total cost of ownership.

Improved reliability

Dust, dirt, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations significantly affect load cells. Vision technology is much less sensitive to environmental factors, ensuring consistent performance.

Reduced or no calibration required

Load cells require regular calibration to maintain accuracy. Vision systems use algorithms and reference points, making calibration virtually unnecessary.

Higher speed and throughput

Vision can weigh in real time while the egg remains in motion. This increases line speed and improves process efficiency.

Predictable and explainable weight classification

Weight is determined using a defined mathematical calculation rather than adaptive neural networks, ensuring consistent results.

Higher detection accuracy

More cameras mean higher resolution per egg which means more accurate detection.

Integrated inspection platform

Within VisionAI, weight classification operates alongside crack detection and leaker detection. Combining multiple inspection tasks within one coordinated system supports a structured grading setup.
