Food Industry

Food processors are faced with:

Rising labor costs making visual inspection less affordable
Increasing quality and delivery requirements
Increasing needs for traceability

As a result, food processors need to:

Reduce pass-through of incorrect pieces
Avoid process upsets or undue maintenance and cleaning due to defective product
Provide better traceability of individual product

Food processing machinery suppliers are continually adding intelligence to their equipment which is enabling automatic job processing and even complete production automation. However, automation of the food manufacturing process requires automation of the measurements of the resulting product to ensure continual quality.

Non-contact laser-based measurement combined with traditional vision systems can provide size, shape, color and surface characteristic information for a wide variety of food products including:

Dough and baked products
Meat cuts
Cheese cuts
