Quality control is a crucial issue in the food industry for reasons of public health. Manufacturers often turn to advanced solutions that can automatically perform essential tasks of food quality management. A company in central Europe has chosen the UC-7420-CE embedded computer as the control unit in their automated system for accepting or rejecting potatoes.

In this company's system, the UC-7420 embedded computer was connected to different sensors and detectors. These devices precisely measure the color, size and weight of each potato. The data is analyzed by the UC-7420, and potatoes are classified into different groups for approval or rejection.

With the Windows CE 5.0 platform pre-installed, the UC-7420 is easily integrated into the existing system, saving effort and time.

Using the UC-7420-CE provides the following benefits :

• Multiple serial connections for different remote devices
• Dual LAN connection for continuous operation and system redundancy
• Longer MTBF with robust, fanless design and no hard drive
• Programmable for diverse applications
• Windows CE 5.0 platform for easy system integration and friendly maintenance interface
