SYSTEM FOR OPTICAL WASH ITEM RECOGNITION IN DISHWASHERS, METHOD FOR OPTICAL WASH ITEM RECOGNITION, DISHWASHER WITH AN OPTICAL WASH ITEM RECOGNITION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SUCH A DISHWASHER

Abstract:

A system for optical wash item recognition for commercial dishwashers embodied as conveyor dishwashers or as automatic programme dishwashers, in particular hood dishwashers, wherein the system includes an optical recognition system, especially a camera, for recording at least one two-dimensional image of at least some of the wash items to be treated in the dishwasher. The system also includes an analysis device for analysing at least one recorded image in such a way that individual wash items or groups of individual wash items in the recorded image are located and classified. At least one neural network is used to analyse the at least one recorded image.
