Abstract: The invention related to dispensing discrete products at the end of a production line to be placed loosely or in an orderly manner into packaging containers. The dispensing line according to the invention comprises a means for alternately controlling, particularly on the basis of location information gathered in a visiometric checkpoint through which the products are caused to pass, the routing of products to be placed loosely into packaging containers to a comb sort where they are regrouped by lot, or the individual inputting of products to be placed into packaging containers in an orderly manner by robotic grasping and transferring means.

Abstract: In an industrial bakery system, the control of quality of bakery products is carried out by a process comprising submitting said products when present in their respective locations on a moulding plate to a first visiometric inspection step wherein they are inspected from above and digital image data are produced comprising at least location data indicative of their respective positions on said plate, then seizing individually said products out of said plate depending on said location data by prehensors arranged in a gripping matrix of prehensors, and further submitting said seized products to a second visiometric inspection step wherein they are inspected from underneath while they are hanging from said gripping matrix.
