Deepening detection reliabilty
With its own AI for X-ray image processing during the inspection of foreign objects in the filling and packaging process of inhomogeneous food products HEUFT makes visible what was previously invisible. This is confirmed by well-known manufacturers like Kühne and can now be experienced live at another trade fair: FACHPACK 2024!
Still a vision of the future at interpack 2023. Already ready for series production at Anuga FoodTec 2024. And the first installations and start-ups are already underway in time for FACHPACK at the end of September 2024 in Nuremberg: HEUFT reflexx A.I. , the proprietary AI for smart X-ray image processing, which is constantly being further developed at HEUFT SYSTEMTECHNIK GMBH, now gets to the bottom of dangerous foreign objects even more deeply.
This means that they are now visible in places where this was previously difficult or impossible. The demand from major food manufacturers for the latest release of foreign object detector form the HEUFT eXaminer II series equipped with this technology is correspondingly high.
Deep Detecting at FACHPACK exhibition
Anyone who has so far missed the opportunity to see the performance of the latest expansion stage of the pulsed X-ray technology with deep-learning-capable AI for themselves will have another chance to do so from September 24 to 26 at the European trade fair for packaging, technology and processes:
FACHPACK 2024 in Nuremberg will show how Deep Detecting with HEUFT reflexx A.I sustainably increases detection accuracy – and therefore also consumer and brand protection! At Stand 339 in Hall 3C, the previously invisible will become visible and identify glass splinters, metal fragments and other foreign objects in food and packaging materials where this was previously not possible!
Kühne confirms convincing results
This is also the view of food producers such as the long-established Carl Kühne KG (GmbH & Co.), which, among other things, produces and jars pickled products such as Germany's best-selling red cabbage and gherkins. The AI developed and produced in-house shows what it can do particularly with such inhomogeneous products with highly absorbent structures and cavities between their components – and finds dangerous foreign objects even under such difficult environmental conditions. And this is the case even if they can no longer be seen with the naked eye or are extremely difficult to distinguish from uncritical product elements and structures in terms of their shape and size.
This was recently confirmed by extensive in-house tests which Kühne carried out on filled original red cabbage jars at the system technicians' customer centre in Burgbrohl using the latest release of the HEUFT eXaminer II XAC. The results were so convincing that they did not hesitate for long and ordered two of them immediately! They will be installed and put into operation at the Straelen site of the family-owned company, which has been successful for more than ten generations, this autumn.They will soon be demonstrating their impressive detection reliability and further reduced false rejection rate in daily production operations. The new Deep Detecting can be experienced in advance at FACHPACK in Nuremberg from 24 to 26 September 2024: Stand 339, Hall 3C. Come and take a look!
