As food manufacturing companies continue to increase production automation to increase efficiency, they are also seeking automated equipment that can detect product and packaging defects efficiently and accurately. Value Engineering Alliance of Massachusetts, USA, has recently developed a food and packaging inspection machine called HueView that can be used to inspect the packaging of meat, fruits, vegetables, cheese, baked goods, and products.
This machine judges whether the item meets the requirements by collecting the color, style, size and texture of the item and then comparing it with the standard item. In addition, the quality of items can also be classified by this method. This machine can be used on the processing line to detect and determine the product in real time.
Traditional inspection machines generally rely on the analysis of product size and color to determine the quality of the product. This machine developed by Value Engineering Alliance can be judged by the style and texture of the product. It is a major advancement in product automation testing. In addition, this machine also solves the irregular shape and uneven products that can not be handled by the flat image scanner, such as irregularly shaped packaging.
