# TWINport360 — Full knowledge base for LLMs > This is the extended machine-readable knowledge base for TWINport360. > For a short overview, see /llms.txt. For Dutch and German summaries, see /llms-nl.txt and /llms-de.txt. Website: https://www.twinport360.com · Contact: info@twinport360.com · Country: Netherlands · Founded: ~1998 (28+ years of industrial vision experience). ## 1. Company TWINport360 is a Dutch industrial machine-vision company. It develops and delivers patented in-line 3D scanning systems that turn every product on a production line into a full-colour 3D digital twin, at production speed. TWINport360 has 28+ years of experience in industrial vision and applies its technology to industrial bakeries and to OEM machine builders across food, packaging and automation. The company sells two integrated hardware systems (TWINport360 AQS, TWINport180 Overhead Scanner) and one analytics software product (TWINport Perspective), plus a technology-integration path for OEM partners. ## 2. The 3D concept "360° 3D" means every dimension of measurement, captured simultaneously and fused into one dataset per product: - **X, Y, Z** — true 3D geometry from a dense voxel cloud (not a 2D silhouette). - **R, G, B** — full colour registered to the geometry at acquisition. - **θ, φ** — 360° orientation: top, sides and bottom captured in a single pass. - **Δt** — continuous time: every unit on the line becomes a digital twin in the moment it passes. Key specifications: - Throughput: > 30,000 units / hour. - Point density: 4.2 billion points / second. - Repeatability: ±0.001 mm. - Scan width: 1000–1500 mm. - Shadow-free acquisition — no blind spots regardless of product orientation. - Edge compute with deterministic in-line latency; open data model for downstream BI. ## 3. Products ### 3.1 TWINport360 Autonomous Quality Sorter (TP-360) An in-line 360° 3D RGB scanner and sorter. Inspects every product from top, sides and bottom, evaluates it against recipe-aware quality criteria, and autonomously rejects out-of-spec units 24/7. Ships with an HMI at the line that replaces the manual inspection station. Greenfield or retrofit. - Deep-dive page: https://www.twinport360.com/bakery/twinport360 - Brochure: https://www.twinport360.com/Twinport_brochure_AQS_2025.pdf ### 3.2 TWINport180 Overhead Scanner (TP-180) An overhead 3D RGB scanner for real-time quality monitoring. Produces live digital twins, HMI quality trends, and structured data exchange with PLC, MES and ERP. Feeds TWINport Perspective for BI. No integrated sorter. - Page: https://www.twinport360.com/bakery/twinport180 - Brochure: https://www.twinport360.com/Twinport_180_Overhead_Scanner_brochure.pdf ### 3.3 TWINport Perspective (TP-PSP) Real-time product-stream analytics software. Live quality KPIs across shifts, batch playback, cross-batch / cross-line / cross-week comparisons, track-and-trace down to a single digital twin, and R&D-grade recipe benchmarking. Streams from TP-360 and TP-180. - Page: https://www.twinport360.com/bakery/perspective ## 4. Bakery segment TWINport360 is deployed on industrial lines producing bread, buns, rolls, ciabatta, croissants, donuts, viennoiserie and pastry. Value drivers: - Replace manual QC sampling with 100% in-line inspection. - Reduce giveaway, rework and customer complaints. - Protect artisanal quality with flexible, recipe-aware rejection criteria. - Lift OEE through real-time process feedback. - Generate digital twins for track-and-trace and HACCP evidence. Typical inspected attributes: bake colour (ΔE), volume, height, length, width, shape, surface defects, scoring, lamination cues, top/bottom symmetry, end-tip shape, spots.

OEM segment TWINport360 partners with OEM machine builders and integrators in three ways: 1. **Embed a complete TWINport module** (scanner + software + HMI + sorting intelligence) around the OEM's machine. 2. **Integrate the 3D scanners** inside an OEM machine — a live RGB point-cloud stream plus segmentation and dimensional data feeds the OEM's automation, robotics or inspection layer. 3. **Co-develop** — engineering support for edge-compute architecture, HMI software, custom vision algorithms, analytics and applied AI. Use cases: autonomous quality control, robot guidance and bin picking, pick-and-place, sorting, depalletizing, closed-loop process control, and AI training-data generation (labeled 3D datasets). Compatible with PCL, Open3D and custom machine-control stacks. OEM page: https://www.twinport360.com/oem ## 6. Customer results ### 6.1 Pré Pain (Aryzta) - 2 Autonomous Quality Sorters live in production. - 40+ unique SKUs configured for autonomous sorting. - 99.5% planned availability — production-grade reliability. - Strategic roll-out underway across additional lines. - Quote — Arnold Gjaltema, Operations Director Benelux, Pré Pain (Aryzta): "Our quality level is higher and our waste is lower." ### 6.2 Typical per-line impact - −10 FTE in manual inspection. - −70% daily product waste. - −50% customer complaints. - €450,000–700,000 typical annual savings per line. ## 7. Comparisons ### 7.1 TWINport360 vs EyePro Vision (KPM Analytics / EyePro Q-Bake) TWINport360 is a 3D in-line alternative to EyePro's 2D overhead camera inspection. Advantages: - True volumetric geometry (not a 2D silhouette). - 360° coverage — top, sides and bottom in one pass. - Per-product digital twins stored for audit and complaint defence. - Integrated autonomous sorter (TP-360). - Live point-cloud stream for OEM / robotics integration. Comparison page: https://www.twinport360.com/compare/eyepro-vision ## 8. Governance and data - Every product is stored as a digital twin — a defensible audit and complaint trail. - Fast traceability from a complaint back to product, lane and minute. - Recipe-versioned tolerances, change-control friendly. - Eliminates inter-inspector variance. - Inspects all products regardless of positioning. ## 9.
