Applicant organisation Zen Automation Technology Pty Ltd
Project / Product Vision controlled robotic labeller for horticulture industry.
Agreed funding (including GST) 70,400
Detailed description Zen Automation Technology Pty Ltd has developed a robotic labeller for growers of certain fruit and vegetables. The labeller is a small and fast moving intelligent robot which has been integrated with a machine vision and laser sensing system. As crates are fed into the robotic labelling station by a conveyor, a laser scanner inspects the produce packed and a 3D image of the product packing pattern, size and number is generated. Simultaneously a colour vision system inspects the crate to identify which retailer the products are to be packed for. Then correct labels are selected by the robot from the appropriate label cartridges and placed to the top centre of each individual fruit or vegetable. COMET funding will be used for Management Skills Development, Strategic Business Planning, Market Research, Intellectual Property Strategy and Working Prototype activities. Lifebelt Pty Limited has developed a universal integrated automobile seatbelt, similar in use and appearance to an existing 3 point belt to prevent ejection out of a seat in a crash.

Lifebelt has been designed to be as effective as existing seatbelts while also addressing key injuries of existing seatbelt designs. The Lifebelt is also self adjusting and able to fit all size humans, including pregnant women. COMET funding will be used for Management Team Development, Strategic Business Plan Development, Market Research, Intellectual Property Strategies, Working Prototype and Proven Technology.
