Vision Inspection Rejection & Recirculation Systems

Vision systems can detect defects in milliseconds. What happens after that decision is where things get interesting.

In this episode of Quality Lines, we dig into vision system rejection mechanisms and how manufacturers in the meat, poultry, and seafood industries think about removing product from the line. From fast, precise rejection methods to more controlled ways of redirecting product, the conversation explores why rejection is never one-size-fits-all.

Along the way, we challenge a common assumption about rejection and touch on how these mechanisms are used when a physical contaminant is detected, as well as when product simply needs to move to a different stream rather than be discarded.

If you work with machine vision, automation, quality, or operations, this episode offers a closer look at what really happens after inspection and why those decisions matter more than most people realize.
