Enhancing Food Safety
Traditional technology shortcomings
A single undetected contaminant can shatter consumer trust, trigger viral social media backlash, and permanently tarnish a brand’s reputation. With food recalls linked to physical hazards like metal, glass, stone or plastic, manufacturers of cereals, nuts, and mixed-density products face not just multi-million-dollar recall costs, but long-term loyalty erosion — 55% of consumers indicated they would switch brands temporarily following a safety recall and 15% of consumers would never purchase a recalled brand again. Protecting your brand means eliminating contaminants before they reach shelves—because today’s hyper-connected consumers forgive slowly, if at all.
The Challenge with Conventional X-Ray Systems
Traditional X-ray machines typically utilize scintillator-based detectors that convert X-rays into light, which is then detected by photodiodes. This indirect detection method can result in the loss of critical information, making it challenging to identify low-density foreign materials.
Traditional X-ray systems can miss contaminants in complex non-homogenous products due to limited sensitivity, especially in dense or variably shaped products like nuts and cereals that make contaminants harder to detect.
Advancements in Detection Technology
Innovations like photon-counting, multi-energy X-ray detectors have been developed to enhance detection capabilities. These systems are designed to detect foreign bodies, defects, and flaws at higher resolutions and with greater energy efficiency than traditional methods.
If you produce non-uniform, mixed-density food products – like cereals with clusters, nut mixes with varying sizes and shapes, or leafy salads with delicate textures, our AI adapts to your product’s natural variations while catching contaminants that others miss.
Unveiling the invisible threats
Even a single undetected contaminant in a food product can have far-reaching consequences, harming end-user and causing significant financial losses for manufacturers.
AI reduces undetected contaminants by 50–70%, slashing recall risks.
Cuts false rejects by 30–50%, saving a significant amount annually in wasted products.
