By transitioning from legacy single-technology systems to multi-layered inspection processes, manufacturers can minimize recalls, reduce waste and safeguard their brand. 

For processors of large-format foods such as ingredients, the constant pressure to maximize output, control costs, cut waste and maintain safety and quality standards is an ongoing challenge.

Upgrading older vision systems often means an upgrade in control systems as well to get the most out of inspection systems, which now employ AI to make snap quality judgments that humans can’t do time after time.

With the ever-present threat of climate change and burgeoning population growth, it is imperative for the food industry to explore technology that maximizes space utilization, minimizes waste and enhances productivity.

With growing consumer demand for protein-rich foods — including plant-based alternatives — it is important for manufacturers to review current CCPs and safety controls as their facilities expand and production lines diversify.

Califia’s V31 vision inspection system is equipped with three cameras for identification and removal of high caps, damaged caps, broken shrink bands and other closure issues.

Specializing in Turkish-style meats, Montreal-style turkey breast, halal pepperoni, deli cuts and sujuk sausage, Solmaz Foods was founded in 2001 when father-son duo Tahsin and Mehmet Solmaz opened a small butcher shop in east downtown Toronto.

With more canine and feline mouths to feed than ever before, robust pet food safety and detail-oriented inspection has never been more paramount.

The system includes cameras, AI software, a conveyor and automatic ejection mechanisms with dual drops (one for foreign material, one for culls) to ensure only ideal potatoes reach later process stages.
