FMC FoodTech Enhances Software Capabilities For Waterjet Portioning

Chicago, IL - FMC FoodTech announces new DSI Q-LINK Portioning Software for its DSI waterjet portioners and D-Scan inspection systems. The technologically advanced Q-LINK software platform improves productivity with one-touch production changeover and convenient new calibration and start-up routines. An easy-to-use touchscreen interface offers color-coded expanding submenus for easy navigation of advanced portioning applications.

The new software platform is fully compatible with current cameras, servomotors and jet blockers. Expanded capacity enables food processors to take full advantage of higher-resolution scanned images, such as those from the new DSI A-CAM camera. Convenient visual setup and diagnostic aids, such as Stripe and Belt View modes make machine setup easy and keep uptime to a maximum.

DSI Q-LINK software is network-ready to enable production data to be exported to in-plant data collection systems, such as the LINK Process Analysis system from FMC FoodTech. Real-time and summary statistical portioning information can lead to improvements in the portioning process. Features such as easy copying of portioning setups further enhance operational efficiency and consistency.

"The development of DSI Q-LINK portioning software was a combined effort of FMC FoodTech software engineers and our food processor partners," says Jon Hocker, business development manager for FMC FoodTech. "Together, we created a solution that is easier to use, expandable, backwards compatible and network ready."

DSI Q-LINK portioning software will be available as a standard feature in new DSI waterjet portioners and as an upgrade for existing DSI 624 and 714 portioners and D-Scan systems.
