Ensuring Quality Control With NextGuard Pack Division Software

Product inspection plays a critical role across a wide range of industries by helping to detect contaminants and maintain high standards of product quality. This is achieved through the use of advanced systems such as metal detectors, X-ray detectors, and checkweighers. One standout solution in this space is the Thermo Scientific™ NextGuard™ X-ray Inspection System, which is specifically designed to identify contaminants and uphold quality standards in packaged goods. Building on this foundation, the introduction of our new software, Pack Division, marks a significant advancement in quality control capabilities. This innovative software is engineered to detect missing items within stacked product formats, accommodating both circular and rectangular shapes. By leveraging a combination of X-ray imaging and grayscale analysis, Pack Division provides a detailed visual inspection of each product stack, ensuring that every package meets stringent quality requirements.

A common challenge in quality control arises when product weight varies slightly from batch to batch. In such cases, a package might still fall within the acceptable weight range even if a product is missing, which makes it difficult to detect discrepancies using weight alone. Ensure that any package with missing contents is accurately flagged and removed from the production line to significantly enhance the reliability and effectiveness of your inspection process.
