Automated quality control for food packaging

Ensure seamless quality control with real-time inspections, serialization, and label verification, all integrated into a compact solution that identifies contaminants even in opaque packaging, enhancing production efficiency and safety.

Inspects, Serializes, and Verifies Food Packaging

The ALL-IN-ONE with IE / SER / SIS from Antares Vision Group is a comprehensive vision and track & trace system designed for food packaging lines. This solution integrates cutting-edge technology, offering real-time inspection, label verification, serialization, and contaminant detection in a single unit. By employing a combination of cameras and hyperspectral technology, it ensures proper label alignment and the detection of organic contaminants not visible with traditional systems. Ideal for applications in packaged foods, ready-to-eat meals, and retail products such as canned vegetables and frozen dinners, this system supports continuous and high-speed operations. It features a reduced footprint and centralized data acquisition, making it a seamless addition to existing production lines. With compliance to regulations like EU Regulation No 1169/2011 and FDA guidelines, the ALL-IN-ONE system is a reliable choice for food manufacturers and packaging companies aiming for quality assurance and operational efficiency.

Benefits
