Plan Vision System Upgrades Carefully
Today's vision systems are more powerful than their earlier counterparts, and many processors choose X-ray, metal detectors, and now, AI-powered vision inspection technologies to meet regulatory demands and ensure quality. KPM's Chief Executive Officer Yuegang Zhao, along with other industry voices, explain why careful planning is important.
Advancements in camera technology, lighting, and deep‑learning AI have made modern vision systems significantly more powerful than those from a decade or two ago. These new systems are smaller, faster, more accurate, and often feature better controllers, which may themselves require upgrading when modernizing the inspection infrastructure.
Upgrading vision inspection systems delivers dramatic improvements in accuracy, flexibility, and integration potential. While cost and integration hurdles exist—especially for smaller operations—the payoff includes greater quality control, better food safety, optimized operations, and real-time adaptability.
In this Food Engineering Article, KPM's Chief Commercial Officer Yuegang Zhao, along with other leading industry voices, offer helpful guidelines for food manufacturers to consider when investing in these new and exciting vision inspection applications.
