The Future of X-ray Inspection Systems in the Food Industry

In this post pandemic world where unstable supply chains are impacting everyone’s bottom line, it’s more important than ever to control the variables that we can. Profitability is going to come down to who has the best technology integrated into their production line to keep them the most competitive in today’s global marketplace. Read on to find out how adopting x-ray technology can improve line efficiencies and safeguard your reputation, all while providing compliance to food safety standards.

Why do manufacturers need x-ray inspection systems?

Quite simply, manufacturers need x-ray inspection systems in order to protect their brands. Poor quality product will damage their reputation with consumers and negatively impact their future business. Product quality needs to be controlled and verified on the production line, and incorporating x-ray inspection into a business, whether in the food, beverage or pharmaceutical industry, is one of the most effective ways to safeguard against potential issues. Reducing the risk of substandard products will also help manufacturers increase their profitability as they avoid unnecessary and costly product recalls. For manufacturers to remain successful in a highly competitive and increasingly global marketplace, they must ensure that their products meet the quality standards that their customers demand.

With x-ray inspection systems, manufacturers can identify contaminants such as metal, stone, glass, dense plastics and calcified bone. They can also reduce overall maintenance and ownership costs as many systems now combine the jobs that would normally need more than one machine. For example, in addition to contaminant detection, current x-ray systems, as part of a complete recipe management solution, enable meat processors to create a batch of meat at a specific chemical lean and target weight. X-ray inspection systems can also simultaneously perform inline quality checks such as measuring mass, counting components, identifying missing or broken products, monitoring fill levels, inspecting seal integrity, and checking for damaged products and packaging. With one machine carrying out several tasks, line maintenance and operation costs can be reduced.
