Low-Density Foreign Material Detection in Meat Processing

Low-density foreign materials, (FM) like colored or transparent plastic, paper, films, foils, rubber, wood, and other defects, have long challenged meat and poultry processing companies. They pose the same consumer health and recall risks as other FM, yet typically cannot be detected by traditional in-line inspection methods like X-ray and metal detection systems. The limitations of these traditional technologies has left food processors reliant on human inspectors and impacted the ability to scale production processes.

AI-powered inspection technologies like the P-Series In-line Vision Inspection System excel at low-density foreign material detection at virtually all stages of meat and poultry processing.
