Nowadays, X-ray scanners frequently replace metal detectors that can detect electrically or magnetically conductive particles. Metal detectors cannot detect glass, stones or plastic, only X-ray scanners are able to do this.
Vision inspection systems supplementary to high-performance X-ray scanners: along with X-ray detection, they also check the information printed on the products (batch data, nutritional values, best before dates, barcodes, and others) for correctness, ensure the printing is flawless, and check for correct positioning and readability of all labels and stickers (OCR and OCV).
As manufacturers work to stay compliant with global and domestic standards, they can take advantage of the many benefits of inspection technologies to enhance and optimize their production process while preventing potential hazards and assuring quality and consistency.
Products using Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) are at a higher risk if the package barrier is breached due to the sensitive nature of the product. Applying methods that offer higher sensitivity is not simply about finding smaller leaks, but is about offering the highest level of quality assurance.
Metrics, such as IT spend and inventory turnover, provide a window into a company's overall health. Understanding the benchmarks provides KPIs to evaluate financial prowess and take action if needed.
