KPM Analytics has launched its Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) business division, integrating advanced vision inspection and AI-powered foreign material detection technologies into food production equipment. This move aims to enhance quality assurance, operational efficiency, food safety, and transparency in the food manufacturing industry. The division leverages brands like EyePro System, Sightline Process Control, and Smart Vision Works, representing over 50 years of vision inspection expertise and 17 years of AI model development. Sectors targeted include baking, meat and poultry, confectionery, and root crops.
Revolutionizing Food Production with Advanced Technologies
The new OEM division is a significant step forward in the food manufacturing industry, where quality control is paramount. By embedding inspection systems into OEM equipment, manufacturers can deliver tools that add real value for processors on day one, as stated by Andrea Bertuolo, Managing Director, Vision Inspection Systems. This integration enables food manufacturers to detect surface and structural defects, monitor product uniformity, and ensure compliance with customer specifications.
Advancing Food Safety with Vision Inspection and AI
Vision inspection technology detects surface and structural defects, monitors product uniformity, and ensures compliance with customer specifications. Solutions include product-counting applications, complex quality inspection, foreign material detection, and integrated rejection systems. AI-powered systems alert personnel or automatically rectify mechanical errors to reduce waste and production downtime. Proprietary machine learning supports data-driven process control and food traceability, which is crucial for meeting regulations like the FDA Food Traceability Rule. You can learn more about the FDA Food Traceability Rule deadline here.
Some key benefits of AI-based systems include:
* Improved defect detection speed and accuracy
* Automated response to mechanical errors
* Enhanced product quality and consistency
These benefits are particularly important in the food industry, where food safety is a top priority. By leveraging AI-powered vision inspection systems, food manufacturers can stay ahead of the curve and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Empowering Industry Partnerships Across Food Manufacturing
The new OEM division is designed to foster partnerships across the food manufacturing industry. Equipment manufacturers can embed inspection technology into their designs for enhanced performance monitoring and consistency assurance. Engineering firms can enhance plant design proposals with AI-powered quality inspection solutions. Machine integrators can offer a complete, data-driven processing solution by integrating KPM’s vision inspection systems.
